Light-rail to Brent Cross (2)

  • Reference: 2012/0106
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Will you ensure that the enlarged roundabout support piers are designed by Transport for London so that this potential route is maintained, at no cost, as opposed to the current design, included in the approved Brent Cross Cricklewood planning application?

Light-rail to Brent Cross (1)

  • Reference: 2012/0105
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
The elevated A41/North Circular Road traffic roundabout is due to be enlarged, and given a fifth access road, to and from Brent Cross Shopping Centre. Do you acknowledge that there is currently an unused but perfectly viable route that threads underneath the south side of that roundabout, for some sort of light-rail or guided bus, in the decades ahead, to connect the Brent Cross central area to Brent Cross Northern Line station?

Transport for London roads (2)

  • Reference: 2012/0104
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Will Transport for London take into account local feeling should any London Boroughs want to 'demote' any of their relevant roads? For instance, if Brent were to decide to 'demote' the depiction of the narrow and residential Tubbs Road, Harlesden, would that be acceptable to Transport for London?

Transport for London roads (1)

  • Reference: 2012/0103
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I understand from April, you gain legal powers to decide how Transport for London roads appear on maps in order to direct traffic better. Although Transport for London almost invariably owns main roads only, does the Mayor agree that a review of maps across London would be a proportionate response?

Platform canopies

  • Reference: 2012/0102
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I have been contacted by a constituent who is concerned about the stability of the platform canopies on the London Overground's Euston-to-Watford Junction line. Most are top-heavy, and rely on tension in angled steel support girders behind their back walls for stability. These are nearly a hundred years old, and some look badly corroded. Can you arrange for a technical examination of these canopies, in conjunction with Network Rail, to reassure the public?

Fuel Poverty in East London

  • Reference: 2012/0101
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Thank you for your response to MQT 3910/2011. Unfortunately you seem to have answered a question I did not ask. I wanted to know about renew in City & East (the City, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Barking & Dagenham) and not in the wider East London area which, from your answer, includes Hackney, Waltham Forest & Havering. Can you therefore provide figures for all 32 boroughs and the City, showing how many homes have been treated under RE:NEW to date and how many will be treated by May 2012?

Roadsafe Reporting System

  • Reference: 2012/0100
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
A constituent has contacted me and has asked me to raise the following questions with you. How many Police Officers have been reported through the Metropolitan Police Roadsafe London reporting system? How many taxi drivers have been reported through the Metropolitan Police Roadsafe London reporting system? What has been the outcome of such reports?

Penalty Notices - Cyclists v Motorists

  • Reference: 2012/0099
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
I have been contacted by a constituent who has read your answers to 3525/2011 and 3526/2011, in which you stated that 8027 cyclists have been penalised for cycling on the pavement and 112 motorists penalised for driving in a cycle lane. He asks if you believe that the police are disproportionately enforcing some road safety legislation?

Trains: Number v Size

  • Reference: 2012/0098
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
National Express East Anglia are reducing the frequency of service of some peak trains to Inner London stations, including Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath (and London Fields). They are however, making the remaining trains longer in order to serve similar numbers of commuters. Do you agree with this approach?

Olympic Park Legacy, Visitor Attraction

  • Reference: 2012/0097
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
A Londoner has suggested that the creation of a world class Science Museum in East London would be beneficial to East London as part of the Olympic Legacy. It is widely recognised that the Olympic Park should contain a new visitor attraction after the Games. What are your initial views on this and what alternative steps are you taking to secure any further visitor attraction?
