Silvertown Tunnel - Final statutory consultation report

  • Reference: 2016/1624
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
On 3rd May 2016 Transport for London applied to the Planning Inspectorate for powers to build the Silvertown Tunnel before publishing any analysis of the 4,000 responses to the final public consultation on the scheme that ended in autumn 2015. Do you think this is acceptable?

Boris Johnson's tunnelling projects

  • Reference: 2016/1623
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
Road tunnels are expensive to construct and create more traffic, more congestion and community severance at the tunnel portals. Will you therefore put an immediate stop to all work on your predecessor's plans for hugely expensive road tunnels between Hackney and Park Royal, Chiswick and Beckton and nine other locations?

Heathrow Expansion attempt

  • Reference: 2016/1622
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
Do you agree with me that Heathrow's recent pledges to ban night flights, curb both noise and pollution in order to help boost their bid for a third runway are worthless and cannot be trusted? Will you give me an assurance that you will be committed to blocking Heathrow expansion?

Gatwick Airport expansion and climate change

  • Reference: 2016/1621
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
How do you reconcile your manifesto pledge to make London the 'leading edge of the fight against climate change' and at the same time backing the expansion of Gatwick Airport which will result in a huge increase in carbon emissions?

  • Reference: 2016/1620
  • Question by: Caroline Russell

Commercial Vessels on Thames - London Plan

  • Reference: 2016/1617

With reference to your London Plan policy on controlling emissions from Non-Road Mobile Machinery, will you consider an equivalent policy to tighten up emissions from commercial vessels on the River Thames?

Enderby Wharf

  • Reference: 2016/1616
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
In light of London breaching EU limits on air quality will you implement restrictions requiring zero emissions for cruise ships whilst moored, such as mandating Onshore Power at Enderby's Wharf, or require cruise vessels to comply with MARPOL Tier 3 emission levels?

Cleaning up the bus fleet

  • Reference: 2016/1615
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 25 May 2016
Fewer than half of London's buses will be either hybrid, electric or hydrogen cell by 2020 if you meet your own target. With these technologies now widely available and increasingly less expensive relative to diesel buses, why have you set such an unambitious target?
