National Road Safety Week

  • Reference: 2011/3912
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
What did you and TfL do to mark National Road Safety Week?

Tower Hamlets Jobs

  • Reference: 2011/3911
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Tower Hamlets is one of the top ten employment blackspots in the UK. Given that 14 people are chasing every vacancy, what are you doing to help people into employment in Tower Hamlets?

Fuel Poverty in East London

  • Reference: 2011/3910
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
In City & East, only 2,474 homes have been treated under RE:NEW to date. How many will be treated by May 2012?

Construction Vehicles Code of Conduct

  • Reference: 2011/3909
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
A large number of the cyclists who have been fatally and seriously injured in London this year are a result of a collision with a particular subset of trucks, such as cement lorries or tipper trucks or skip lorries. Would you support the idea of looking at whether the various Codes of Construction Practice could be extended to move away from payment by the load/journey, which can pressure drivers to maximise the number of journeys they make and can creates the sort of hurried driving environment in which safety for vulnerable road users can be compromised?

Cost Benefit Bendy-Bus Withdrawal

  • Reference: 2011/3908
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
You recently made an assertion about the cost-benefit of removing bendy-buses based on reduced fare evasion. Can you provide an independently audited report on the benefit-costs. I am sure that you will agree that Londoners deserve this.

PFI Refinancing

  • Reference: 2011/3907
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Is PFI refinancing a routine activity? And does its existence therefore highlight wastefulness?

Transparency

  • Reference: 2011/3906
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
In your answer to 3469/2011 you stated that you believe you have honoured your commitment to transparency made when you were elected. Can you outline the commitment you made and explain how you believe you have kept to it?

Peoples Promises

  • Reference: 2011/3905
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Given your support for these (2789/2011) can I congratulate you on your inevitable decision to overrule officers and support the Community Land Trust bid for the St Clements Hospital site in Tower Hamlets? If you didn't do this, what value can Londoners attach to your use of the words 'fully support'?

CWG

  • Reference: 2011/3904
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Do you support the Canary Wharf Group injunction against any potential protesters seeking to demonstrate on their estate? Given that most ordinary people would consider the Canary Wharf Estate to be a public place, do you think the law allowing such actions is correctly balanced?

Park Closures Post Olympics

  • Reference: 2011/3903
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
In your answer to 3510/2011 you appear to say that the park will be closed in its entirety to the public between the Olympics closing and the Summer of 2013. Is this not a mistake? Should not the public be encouraged to continue to enjoy the parkland and facilities wherever possible, rather than taking an easy path to keep a group of engineers and bureaucrats happy?
