Outer London Commission Draft Interim Recommendations (3)

  • Reference: 2012/0120
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Town centre renewal is a recommendation in the draft report from the Outer London Commission. Useful suggestions such as improving night-life will hopefully stimulate local growth. However, considering the Outer London Fund is only for superficial improvements and in lieu of the cuts to Boroughs budgets from the Coalition Government, how are you deciding what areas to allocate funding to and how are you going to implement such high ambitions with such a limited budget and scope of power locally?

  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
The Outer London Commission Draft Interim Recommendations reported that boroughs and stakeholders had voiced concerns over the efficiency of orbital public transport movement in outer London. How will you address these concerns?

Outer London Commission Draft Interim Recommendations (1)

  • Reference: 2012/0118
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
In your recently published Outer London Commission Draft Interim Recommendations you state that 'parking policy provides the flexibility to address local circumstances, especially in town centres and office locations, while also recognising the need to continue to promote sustainable travel.' How will Transport for London work with London Boroughs to achieve this?

Black cab fares

  • Reference: 2012/0116
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I have been contacted by a constituent who would like you to conduct an assessment of Black Taxi fares and investigate whether a review can be made with regards to night tariffs? When will you carry this out?

Private Renting during the Olympics

  • Reference: 2012/0115
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Thank you for your answer to Question No: 3963 / 2011. Unfortunately my constituent was disappointed with your non-committal response. How will you protect tenants in London who want to continue their tenancy but are being forced out of their homes as landlords want to short-let their properties during the Olympics?

Residents of St Raphaels's Estate

  • Reference: 2012/0114
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I have been contacted by the residents of St Raphael's Estate who are extremely upset about the changes to the 206 and 224 bus routes. Residents feel they were not made fully aware of all the changes or the impact it would have on their lives. Residents have lost out on two buses, which came on to their estate. They have collected 279 names and addresses on a petition of people affected. Will Transport for London consider restoring these bus services to the estate?

Brent Cross Toilets

  • Reference: 2012/0113
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
The only toilet for the male and female bus drivers at Brent Cross Shopping Centre has been closed 3 times since 28 November; drivers have been told it will not be opened until February. This forces drivers to use the bushes near the Brent River to relieve themselves when Brent Cross Shopping Centre is closed. This facility has been closed because of a perceived 'mis-use' of the facilities (graffiti on one of the walls) for which all other employees are not responsible for. Do you not agree that all bus drivers should have access to toilet facilities at Brent Cross...

The Olympic Board

  • Reference: 2012/0112
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Was the Olympic Board made aware of any ongoing legal cases regarding the Dow Chemical Company when it was agreed to allow Dow the contract for the stadium wrap?

Civilian Officers (3)

  • Reference: 2012/0111
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I understand civilian officers on custody watch are required to watch individuals remanded at the station deemed to be at risk. I am told no officer is supposed to spend more than 2 hours watching a prisoner and is required to take a break of at least 1 hour before continuing their watch. Officers are finding they are not relieved and may spend up to 5 hours watching one prisoner which can result in a variety of health and safety problems. I would like to know how widespread these problems are and how they are being tackled?
