Longer lorries

  • Reference: 2011/3040
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2011

The trial will lack proper Parliamentary scrutiny, pose a new risk to pedestrians and cyclists due to their large size and reduced manoeuvrability, and may cause traffic flow problems on London's often narrow streets with tight corners.

Heathrow flight paths

  • Reference: 2011/3039
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2011

Dow Chemicals and the Olympic stadium

  • Reference: 2011/3038
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2011
Are you concerned that LOCOG's decision to appoint Dow Chemicals to provide the wrap for the Olympic Stadium is incompatible with the Olympic spirit and sustainability standards, and that by providing the company with 336 large advertising panels on the iconic building it may damage the reputation of the London 2012 Games? A wholly owned subsidiary of Dow is in the US courts over contamination of land and a groundwater aquifer in Bhopal, India, a matter separate to the better known 1984 gas disaster. Dow Chemicals was also fined by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 2007, and another...

Rough sleeping funding (2)

  • Reference: 2011/3032
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 12 October 2011
In March, in answer to question 793/2011, you assured me that you would spend the full £8.5m on homelessness and rough sleeping services in 2011/1. Can you confirm that this means you won't reallocate any money to other areas of GLA if the commissioning process leads to an underspend on the services identified? Can the money be rolled over into the next financial year?
