TfL intends to provide countdown to bus stops with 50,000 passengers per year only. This will mean the system inevitably focuses on central London, town centres and a few district centres. Other district centres such as Coulsdon, Cheam, Carshalton and Selsdon will get none and neither will district centres with high usage but split stops. What is the Mayor's view and will the Mayor revise the programme to include key centres and interchanges rather than rely on a blunt numbers criterion?

Croydon's Woodside SNT has successfully raided five cannabis dens in the last seven months. However the problem is not going to go away and the 2011 Annual London Survey revealed that drug-related crime is the fourth greatest safety concern for Londoners. Ceop identified that 18% trafficked children into UK were used for cannabis cultivation. Should these kind of facts be more widely publicised, to make drug users more aware of the exploitation they cause by their decision to use of drugs?
