I have been contacted by the Albert Association who are concerned about the contra flow bus lane running northwards from the Elephant and Castle along London Road, SE1 to St. George's Circus and into Waterloo Road. There has been many serious accidents and a teenage girl died as a result of her injuries received following an accident on 12th May. The Albert Association are asking for the removal of the contraflow, as they believe this will reduce accidents. What assessment have TfL made and what plans are there to reduce speeds and improve safety?

The Team London initiative was a fantastic opportunity for my constituents in Barnet. It funded a fantastically successful intergenerational project, MiCommunity, delivered by Age UK Barnet, which had young volunteers in schools teaching older people how to use computers and the internet. But I was surprised to find it was funded for less than a year, and even though it has proven results, is struggling to find more funding. Will you look at funding similar projects to keep successful cost effective initiatives such as this going?
