  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Campaigning organisations for disabled people are concerned about the McNulty Reports proposals to close ticket offices, saying it would make travelling more difficult for disabled people. Do you not agree that in terms of London Underground, ticket office closures coupled with a lack of accessible stations, disabled people are getting a raw deal?

  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
Thank you for producing the Step-Free Tube Guide, which I am sure passengers will find extremely useful. However, it does highlight the lack of accessible stations across the capital. What efforts are you making towards addressing this in the run up to the Paralympics?

Whitchurch Lane

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 09 November 2011
I have received a number of complaints from residents of Whitchurch Lane regarding the traffic, noise and air pollution caused by HGVs and speeding double-decker buses that travel along that road. Please can you confirm what role TfL takes in monitoring and planning of Whitchurch Road and whose responsibility it is to control this so the concerns of residents are addressed? If it is TfL's responsibility, could you please give us an update?

Your failure to increase the funding for Freedom Passes whilst continuing to put up fares this year has left Brent Council with a £1million shortfall. Brent is anticipating an increase in applications for the Freedom Pass. London Councils has asked you to minimise the level of the increased cost to the Freedom Pass. Will you do this? If not, why not?

Brent has many physical barriers which make parts of the borough difficult to navigate by bike, including waterways, railways and major roads. Would you be willing to invest in major new infrastructure and re-planning to help Brent reach its cycling potential?

The 2010 Transport for London report 'Analysis of Cycling Potential in London' said 54% of trips made in Outer London are potentially cyclable. Yet, cycle trips account for 1.2% of journeys across Brent. What plans do you have for improving this figure?
