Priorities for Budget Cuts

  • Reference: 2011/0079-1
  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
In the face of unprecedented budget cuts, what areas of police work will the MPS prioritise for budget reductions in order to meet the funding shortfall in future years?

Delroy Grant

  • Reference: 2011/1652
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
It is widely accepted that the Metropolitan Police made errors in the handling of the Delroy Grant rape attacks investigation. Does the Mayor believe that unwillingness to recognise a racial motivation, due to a fear of being accused as racist when investigating ethnic crime, was a factor in this?

South Kentish Town Station

  • Reference: 2011/1650
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
I have read reports that local people in Kentish Town and Camden are calling for the abandoned South Kentish Town tube station to be reopened to reduce pressure on other nearby stations and in light of a new development in the area. This would seem to be a positive move; will you use your good offices to ask TfL to look into this idea and examine options for how the significant funding involved could be achieved?

Pedestrian crossing removal

  • Reference: 2011/1649
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Please give an update, by borough, of the current status of your, in my view, misguided proposals to remove traffic signals, including pedestrian crossings. How much money have TfL spent on removing signals so far? What do you predict the total expenditure to be?

Ticket office opening hours reduction

  • Reference: 2011/1648
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Since the changes were made to ticket office opening hours on the underground in February, please give an update on a) how much income from ticket sales TfL have made compared to before the changes and b) any impact on fare evasion.

WEZ Update

  • Reference: 2011/1647
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
It is now three months since the WEZ was removed. Since then, how many more vehicles have been recorded in the former western zone? What has the initial impact been on air quality in the area?

Housing Benefit Cuts

  • Reference: 2011/1646
  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
In answer to Written Question No: 3737/2010 you stated that you 'support the reform of Housing Benefit but believe that transitional arrangements are essential in order to mitigate any unintended consequences on London of the imminent changes'. What transitional arrangements do you believe are required for London and in what specific ways have you conveyed this message to the Government?

Sprinklers

  • Reference: 2011/1644
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Recent London Fire Brigade figures reveal that six out of 10 schools that have proposed building work in the last three years did not have plans to install sprinklers. What more can be done to encourage sprinkler installations in London?

Campaign for Better Transport

  • Reference: 2011/1643
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Is it the case that TfL currently gives £15,500 a year to the Campaign for Better Transport? If so, will you instruct TfL to stop doing so immediately?

District Line

  • Reference: 2011/1642
  • Question by: Tony Arbour
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Why was the Hounslow West extension scrapped in 1964?
