Cycle training for children

  • Reference: 2011/2093
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Are you concerned about the large gap between those boroughs providing cycle training for around 3,000 to 4,000 children a year and those providing cycle training for only a few hundred? What additional action are you taking to ensure that the boroughs meet the target of providing Level 2 cycle training to all Year 6 pupils who want it, by 2012?

Cycle lane safety

  • Reference: 2011/2092
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Do you agree with Transport for London that whilst a 2m cycle lane "will increase the comfort levels experienced by cyclists there is no evidence to show that this extra width creates a safety benefit?" Might this statement ignore the sheer volume of cyclists in central London and the need for cyclists to overtake each other in relative safety?

Blackfriars Bridge and the 20mph speed limit

  • Reference: 2011/2091
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Have you now read the Transport for London report recommending that four bridges over the Thames should have a 20mph speed limit?

Blackfriars Bridge safety (2)

  • Reference: 2011/2090
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Will you guarantee that there will be no injuries or deaths as a result of cyclists using the right turns from northbound lanes into Queen Victoria Street and from southbound lanes onto Victoria Embankment, which involve cyclists filtering across two lanes of heavy traffic?

Blackfriars Bridge safety (1)

  • Reference: 2011/2089
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
You claim that the new design for Blackfriars Bridge 'will allow every road user to navigate the junction safely'. What evidence, authority, or guidelines are you using to substantiate this claim? Cyclists believe it to be more dangerous than the present layout.

Cycling on the Olympic Route Network

  • Reference: 2011/2088
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
What assessment was made of the likelihood of cyclists slowing down Olympic vehicles if they were allowed onto the Olympic Route Network? Who made the original decision that cyclists should be banned from the network and have you seen the report upon which this decision is based?

Thames path

  • Reference: 2011/2087
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Can you list any planning applications referred to the GLA for developments along the River Thames that did not include a Thames path accessible to the general public?

British Transport Police

  • Reference: 2011/2086
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
I have been contacted by a constituent who is concerned about the failure of the British Transport Police to intervene or record incidences of verbal abuse against Transport for London staff and members of the public at Liverpool Street Station. Will you raise this issue with the British Transport Police as a matter of urgency?

London Plan and localism

  • Question by: Jenny Jones

What are you doing to review the London Plan in light of the community empowerment and neighbourhood planning aspects of the Government's localism agenda?
