night tube

  • Reference: 2016/2111
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
I have received a number of representations from residents living near overground stretches of tube lines and near tube stations, about the noise impact once the night tube starts. What are you doing to reduce the impact on these residents, who were not consulted by the previous mayor about the night tube scheme?

A5 at Staples Corner Flyover

  • Reference: 2016/2110
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Will you look into the condition of the A5 at Staples Corner Flyover? A lot of vegetation is growing out of the side of the road (in both directions) which growth could cause serious damage to both the road surface and the concrete infrastructure.

Flooding, Courtland /A1 pedestrian subway

  • Reference: 2016/2109
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Since the tunnel was renovated it has never worked properly and it floods to at least 1 metre deep and by the marks on the floor, it must have risen to ceiling height at some point. The water has also begun to lift the tar from the surface and someone is likely to trip over it. This affects children attending the schools at Courtland Primary and Mill Hill Secondary and some have been seen jumping the A1 central barrier. What will you do to make this subway usable and to stop the flooding?

Bus stops near St. Pancras Hospital

  • Reference: 2016/2108
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
The removal of the bus stops on either side of the road that were closest to St. Pancras Hospital (nos. 46 and 214 buses) means that a lot of sick people have to trudge half a mile or so from the next nearest bus stop especially as the hospital also now houses a general practice that has moved from Kings Cross Road. Will you reinstate these bus stops, and if not why not?

Economy Committee High Streets report

  • Reference: 2016/2107
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Will you reconsider the recommendations of the Economy Committee High Streets report in the last Assembly term, to see which you can support and implement with particular reference to a level playing field for traders in competition with charity shops, controlling the number of gambling premises, and open and available lists of landlords?

Non EU migrants living in London

  • Reference: 2016/2106
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
The Government have moved the goalposts for non EU migrants living in the UK, which will disproportionally affect those living London. From this year , non-EEA workers will need to earn at least £35,000 to settle in the UK for longer than six years unless they are working in a PhD-level occupation or a job which is on the Shortage Occupation List. Will you make representations to both the Home Secretary and Immigration Minister over the new legislation, so that those who came to settle in London under the then rules are not disadvantaged by an ex post facto rule...

Probate fees

  • Reference: 2016/2105
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
The Government has been consulting on a rise in probate fees which would see an increase on estates worth £2million from £188 to £20,000. What do you consider the impact of this will be on Londoners, where the value of estates is much higher than in the rest of the country due to property values; and will you make representations about it to the Ministry of Justice?

Mount Pleasant

  • Reference: 2016/2104
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Will you review the GLA involvement and consents given to this scheme, to see if anything can be done to improve the scheme, particularly with a view to increasing the number of affordable homes?

Barnet planning decisions and Mill Hill East

  • Reference: 2016/2103
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Will you hold an investigation into Barnet planning decisions at Mill Hill East, which has allowed implementation of planning consent to be spun out, so that it will be many years before the scheme is completed, with continuing rise in prices as a result?

Barnet planning decisions and affordable homes

  • Reference: 2016/2102
  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Will you hold an investigation into Barnet Council's major planning decision making, which has underprovided affordable homes in a large number of major schemes, especially focussing on 'viability'?
