A Londoner has asked me to put the following question to you: 'Can the Mayor please tell us how many cycles fail to be released due to system failures? If the technology supplier is meeting its service level agreement, can the Mayor tell us whether he is concerned about the dreadful service offered by a scheme with which he has so closely personally associated himself? If the supplier is not meeting its agreements then what are his plans to manage an improvement to this situation?'

A Croydon resident has asked that the following question be put to you: 'Before the last election, Mr. Johnson talked down the then planned extension. Last week, he came to Croydon, leapt on a tram and said that the Crystal Palace extension met his approval and would go ahead. The latest document published by Transport for London makes no mention of it. Is the Mayor correct and going to override TfL or is he just hunting for votes?'

Will you confirm that you will support East London residents in opposing the latest proposal for a floating heliport in the Thames? And that you will oppose any such application in London unless it is strongly supported by its local community and those who would be overflown? In so doing your officers will be aware that this is a proposal which appears, in one form or another, every few years. Given that there is clearly a demand for further helicopter landings in London, how do you think this should be best dealt with?

I am sure that Londoners will see the offer of free Olympic tickets for the family members of those killed in the London bombings as rightly generous but I have been asked by a Londoner who was the victim of a terrible and life-changing, crime what signal this gives to other victims of crime in London. Is there a risk that by publicly signaling our compassion for a high profile group in this way we risk marginalising the wider concerns of victims, many of whom have suffered great trauma too. The correspondent wrote: "I have every sympathy with 7/7 victims...

A member of the Government has said, 'It is crazy that we all travel on the same train on the same day at the same time. We should be able to spread the peak across different times ... workers could delay travel to the office until mid-morning, when journey times are likely to be reduced, and work from the office only when necessary before leaving at a convenient time.' I would appreciate your thoughts on this statement as it seems to me that people who work in shops or in manual jobs will not be able to come to work...
