Lane Rental Scheme

  • Reference: 2011/2684
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011

Litter

  • Reference: 2011/2683
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011
A constituent has contacted me about the appalling amount of litter and general filthy state of roads and pavements between Victoria Station and Hyde Park.

  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011
As Patron of the Mayor's fund for London, which you do as the Mayor of London, are you satisfied that the Charity is not spending a disproportionate amount of funding on administration, fundraising, development and strategy as opposed to directly benefitting Londoners?
