Cycle Superhighway speed limits

  • Reference: 2011/3346
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Will you designate roads on the Cycle Superhighway route 5 that run through New Cross, Peckham and Camberwell's town centres as 20mph? I understand that the borough and local pedestrian and cycle safety groups are in favour, mean speeds are low enough to make it workable and that collision statistics along these stretches of road are already unacceptably high.

Pedicabs

  • Reference: 2011/3345
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Given the repeated failure of attempts to legislate on the issue of Pedicabs, will you ask Transport for London to take the lead in drawing up a partnership agreement for regulation with Westminster Council and the Pedicab companies?

Cycle expenses allowance

  • Reference: 2011/3344
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Will you raise the cycle allowance to 40p per mile for journeys by GLA group staff so that it removes the perverse incentive to drive? Currently GLA staff receive 20p per bicycle mile and 45p per car mile, while TfL staff receive 40p per car mile and 12p per bicycle mile.

Cycle provision on replacement buses

  • Reference: 2011/3343
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Can you ensure that replacement bus services provided as a result of engineering works on railway lines have provision for carrying non-folding bicycles?

Secure Cycle Parking

  • Reference: 2011/3342
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Norbiton railway station has the ninth worst cycle theft rate of all London stations, according to the Mayor's cycle security plan. Will you lobby South West Trains to install a secure restricted access cycle compound at this station to address this problem?

Complaints and the Public Carriage Office

  • Reference: 2011/3341
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Will you ensure that when a formal complaint is made to the police about a black cab by another driver or cyclist, that the Public Carriage Office is involved in the investigation and made aware of the facts?

Disability Capital conference (2)

  • Reference: 2011/3340
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Will you keep your promise to respond formally to the questions which were not taken at the recent Disability Capital conference, such as the ones concerning the controversial involvement of ATOS Health Care in the conference?

Disability Capital conference (1)

  • Reference: 2011/3339
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
What proportion of time at the recent Disability Capital conference was given in the morning session to speakers from the platform versus time for participants to speak & ask questions from the floor? Do you feel this contributed to a sense of frustration being expressed and people heckling from the floor?

Buses Idling

  • Reference: 2011/3338
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Transport for London produced research on the amount of time that taxis spend idling. Could you share any similar figures for London buses?

Electric buses

  • Reference: 2011/3337
  • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Why are you claiming that the New Bus for London design is "the most environmentally friendly" when it is to be powered by a diesel-electric hybrid instead of an all-electric drivetrain?
