New airports

  • Reference: 2011/3721
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
The Committee on Climate Change found that an increase in flights could only be accommodated within the UK's carbon budgets if demand was still substantially constrained and carbon dioxide reduction targets for homes, workplaces and ground transport were increased from 80% to 90% by 2050. These conditions were in addition to significant improvements in fuel efficiency and the development of new sustainable biofuels. Are you lobbying the Government to secure all of these conditions if they proceed with your plans for increased airport capacity near London?

Energy reduction progress

  • Reference: 2011/3720
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Can you tell me the actual reductions in buildings energy usage achieved in 2010/11, and the expected reductions in 2011/12, in the GLA, LDA, TfL, LFEPA and the MPA/MPS?

Energy reduction targets

  • Reference: 2011/3719
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Can you tell me the targets for reducing buildings energy usage in the GLA, LDA, TfL, LFEPA and the MPA/MPS in 2011/12?

Closure of the Fire Museum

  • Reference: 2011/3717
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Do you agree that the decision reached by LFEPA to close the Fire Museum is premature, given that no new location has been found for the museum and no measures have been taken to ensure that the collection will be preserved as a single collection?

Crossrail impact on businesses

  • Reference: 2011/3716
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
What alternatives have Crossrail considered to the site of the Big Table furniture shop and workshops on Great Western Road, W9, to make way for an electrical substation? Will you urgently explore all possible alternatives before demolishing this employment site?

Greenland dock

  • Reference: 2011/3715
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Will you urge Sail Greenwich Ltd, organisers of plans to turn Greenland dock into a temporary berth for 350 sailing yachts during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Southwark Council as the local planning authority to consider the needs of local residents and users of the dock when drawing up their plans? It would be a sad irony if the Games prevented Londoners from participating in sports such as sailing for those summer weeks.

Archway gyratory

  • Reference: 2011/3714
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Will you support the removal of the Archway gyratory and a return to two-way traffic flow and will you ask TfL to work with the local authority to ensure the necessary funding package is in place to achieve this?

Former South Eastern Railway offices on Tooley Street

  • Reference: 2011/3713
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Are you aware of the growing concern about the demolition of the former South Eastern Railway offices on Tooley Street? Given that demolition is not required for the Thameslink project as the viaduct is not being altered on the north side of the station, would you agree that the need for greater pedestrian access could be met through opening up the ground floor of the building to public access - as with the Great Northern hotel building at Kings Cross?

Place West London Conference

  • Reference: 2011/3712
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
Can you provide me with a note of your meeting with the Earl's Court project Development Director Richard Powell on the 11th October? If no such note was made, can you tell me who was present and the nature of the discussion? Have you had any other meetings with the planning applicant to discuss their proposals?

Single use bags at the Olympics

  • Reference: 2011/3711
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
In your capacity on the Olympic Board have you asked LOCOG to ban 2012 Games sponsors and other suppliers and partners from issuing single use bags at the Olympics? If not, will you?
