Community-led housing umbrella organisation

  • Reference: 2016/1940
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Last year a number of community-led housing organisations put a proposal to the GLA to fund an umbrella organisation to support models such as Community Land Trusts, which you have told me you want to support. The proposal is based upon six successful umbrella organisations in other parts of the UK. Will you consider this proposal?

Gender-blind interactions with GLA group organisations and gender-neutral titles

  • Reference: 2016/1936
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
The GLA group organisations currently vary in whether they require gender information in interactions with the public, either explicitly or via limited title options. For example, registering to comment on the GLA's own website means choosing either a male or female gender and the form to apply to work at City Hall gives only 'Dr' as a gender-neutral title option. Will you take steps to allow people not to reveal their gender when interacting with all GLA group organisations, and introduce the option of the gender-neutral title 'Mx'?

Carbon Dioxide

  • Reference: 2016/1933
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Does the Mayor understand that water vapour is a far more significant absorber of infra-red radiation than carbon dioxide, and that trying to reduce carbon dioxide levels is a red herring in comparison to other far more important environmental problems such as SO 2 NOx, tropospheric ozone and carbon particulate levels?

Carbon Dioxide

  • Reference: 2016/1932
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Does the Mayor understand that further increases in carbon dioxide levels will not significantly increase average global temperatures due to near saturation absorption by CO 2 in the 13 – 17 µm band of the infra-red spectrum?

Carbon Dioxide

  • Reference: 2016/1931
  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Does the Mayor believe that carbon dioxide is a pollutant?

Housing development on Barking & Dagenham College green belt land (2)

  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
When will a decision be made about planning application 15/00887 from Barking & Dagenham College and an announcement made to give the people of Dagenham the peace of mind they require?

Housing development on Barking & Dagenham College green belt land (1)

  • Reference: 2016/1929
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 22 June 2016
Barking & Dagenham College has requested planning permission to build 125 homes on green belt land immediately next to the Eastbrookend Country Park and local councillors have said that the matter is still resting with the London Mayor's office. Could the Mayor confirm that his office will turn down this application and stand by his election promise to protect the green belt?
