Road Safety

  • Reference: 2012/0593
  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
I have received complaints from residents about the dangers cyclist and pedestrians face at the Deals Gateway junction in Lewisham.

Will the Mayor intervene on behalf of residents and visitors to the area to make the junction a more pedestrian and cycle-friendly environment?

Human trafficking during the Olympic Games

Scrap Metal

Apprenticeships

  • Reference: 2012/0589
  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
In MQT 3583/2011 you stated that you were unable to provide a breakdown of the number of apprenticeship programmes you have directly created because 'At this stage the breakdown of statistics across age, gender, framework, sector and level is not made available at the regional level'. With this in mind, do you accept that that your claim to have created 54,000 apprenticeship placements in the last 18 months is disingenuous?
