  • Question by: Tom Copley
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
You lobbied the government for increased Discretionary Housing Payment budgets in London to tackle the housing problems caused by the government's cuts to social security. Are you monitoring how this money is being allocated?

  • Question by: Tom Copley

Have the Metropolitan police provided accommodation for homeless Londoners in police cells when no other accommodation has been available? If so, how many nights' accommodation has been provided to homeless people in police cells in the previous year to 31 October 2014?

London Buses

Is there still a requirement for London buses to be predominantly red? If so why do some uses now carry adverts in various colours that cover the entire bus?

Improvements to Cycling in London following Tour de France

  • Reference: 2014/4330
  • Question by: Tom Copley
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
With regards to your answer to MQ 2014/3036, was any cost/benefit analysis conducted by TfL about whether £6 million would be better spent on the Tour de France or on cycling infrastructure? If so, please could you make it available?

How much free advertising space on the London transport network has been made available to the Mayor in the financial year 2013/14, and, if known, how much does the Mayor anticipate will be made available in 2014/15 and 2015/16?

Question: Orbit Visitor Numbers

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
Can you provide a month by month breakdown of visitor numbers for the Orbit, during the Olympic Games and for each month since reopening following the Games. How do these figures compare to expectations? What plans exist to manage the expectations for and to market the structure.

Bus Overcrowding in Barking and Dagenham

  • Reference: 2014/4327
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
Route 5 in B & D is massively overcrowded. I appreciate that there have been service increases but travel patterns in the borough have massively changed. It seems clear to me that a more fundamental service review, with an understanding of travel patterns and consideration of additional or extended services on the route is needed. Can you arrange for TfL in consultation with the Borough to explore this?

Paralympic Legacy

  • Reference: 2014/4326
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
I understand that the Paralympic Legacy consists of the naming of an area of the Olympic Park as 'Mandeville Place' in tribute to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Worthy as this is does it really form an adequate Paralympic Legacy? What work is taking place to secure a more comprehensive Paralympic Legacy?

Crossrail 2 route options

  • Reference: 2014/4325
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 19 November 2014
You recently published a report on the consultation responses but then appeared to announce the route while making a speech off the back of this but before it has been properly analysed. Have route options been settled? How? What is the status of the East London spur, which you know that I, Hackney, Newham, Barking & Dagenham and others support?
