London taxis (1)

  • Reference: 2016/2969
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
I understand from a constituent that taxi drivers outside of London have the right to apply to a magistrates court for an appeal against any decision that the licensing authority makes. Why does a similar right not apply in London?

Unintended Acceleration of Buses (2)

  • Reference: 2016/2968
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
It is understood that in 2011 TfL commissioned a report reviewing the Unintended Acceleration (UA) of buses, a causal factor in some often serious bus collisions. Please publish this report so it can be available for public scrutiny.

Unintended Acceleration of Buses (1)

  • Reference: 2016/2967
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Please provide a list for the last six years of incidents involving Unintended Acceleration of Buses on all bus routes, with details of the operator, route and bus type provided.

Crossrail 2 Station

  • Reference: 2016/2966
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
With the Chelsea Society highlighting that a petition opposing a Crossrail station on the Kings Road has received over 10,000 signatures, with 80 of them from small local businesses, and with Hammersmith and Fulham Council now actively campaigning for a Crossrail Station to be located at Imperial Wharf, what assurances can TfL give that is has so far carefully considered the views of both these organisations and will continue to do so in future?

Shared parental leave at TfL

  • Reference: 2016/2965
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
A constituent informs me that TfL provides less generous shared paternity leave provision than the GLA. Will you review TfL's policies on shared paternal leave to bring it up to best practice standards?

Greenways

  • Reference: 2016/2964
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
I have been contacted by a constituent who wishes to know the exact reasons why the Greenways programme was ended by TfL. Will you now consider reviving this successful programme and give consideration to new Greenways, including the perimeters of Peckham Rye Common, Clapham Common and also Wanstead Flats?

Design of Cycle Superhighways (2)

  • Reference: 2016/2963
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Do you accept that two stage right turns for cyclists cannot possibly be safe unless both the first and second stages have been safe, with no left/right hooks? It has been reported that this is a problem all along CS2 and CS6. Will you look into resolving this?

Design of Cycle Superhighways (1)

  • Reference: 2016/2962
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Given the success of 'Hold the Left' at the Oval on the Cycle Superhighway 7 why has this safe design not been replicated anywhere else?

Inclusive cycling in London

  • Reference: 2016/2961
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Following the recent publication of a manifesto for an inclusive cycling policy in London by Wheels for Wellbeing will you ensure that all cycling infrastructure funded by TfL meets the specifications of Highway England's 'cycle design vehicle' standard?

insurance for private hire drivers

  • Reference: 2016/2960
  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2016
Can you confirm that private hire drivers will need to have exactly the same comprehensive Hire and/or Reward Commercial insurance to carry the public and not merely third party or social and domestic insurance?
