  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Why is the Mayor of London's Fund for Young Musicians promoting unnecessary travel by air by offering British Airways transatlantic flights up to a value of £3500 as a raffle prize? Were these flights donated by British Airways? If not, who did donate them?

Illegal minicabs

  • Reference: 2011/3351

Hybrid bus costs

  • Reference: 2011/3350
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Has the purchase cost of a hybrid bus dropped? Can you explain whether the unexpected high cost is the reason for your failure to stick to the pledge that every new bus would be a hybrid in 2012?

Tottenham Hale and the Cycle Superhighway (1)

  • Reference: 2011/3348
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Why is the Tottenham Hale redesign not taking account of the wider redesign of road layouts along your A10 Cycle Superhighway, of which it will be part? Will the two projects join up?

Cycling tour of dangerous roads

  • Reference: 2011/3347
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 16 November 2011
Will you join me and other cyclists on a tour of 10 of the most dangerous roads for cyclists in London, including Kings Cross, the Bow Roundabout and Elephant and Castle? This would enable you to explain to the cycling community the reasons for your inaction in dealing with the most concerning issues at these sites.

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.
