  • Question by: John Biggs

Will you join me, and Roger Evans, in opposing the partial closure of King George's Hospital, which would result in a serious reduction in health provision for people in London?

Buy One Get One Free

  • Reference: 2011/1078
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
You recently announced that you would match any additional funding for police officers purchased by an individual Borough. Are there any caveats to restrict Boroughs that have received similar funding in the past applying for it under this scheme?

Cycling on Pavements

  • Reference: 2011/1077
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
I have been contacted by a number of constituents who are concerned at the growing numbers of cyclists using the pavements instead of the road. They note that many 'offenders' are using cycles from your hire scheme. As the riders of these are identifiable through the scheme, are you prepared to take action to deter this?

Smithfield Market (3)

  • Reference: 2011/1076
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
What involvement do you have in the future planning of this area with respect to the Farringdon Urban Design Study and is there a Masterplan. A constituent speculates that regeneration of Smithfield could happen in a similar way to the retail markets such as Covent Garden, Leadenhall and more recently Spitalfields and that this would welcomed by Londoners. Do you have such an aspiration?

Smithfield Market (2)

  • Reference: 2011/1075
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
As the Smithfield area continues to change, there are major concerns around the intensification of the area with the arrival of Crossrail and the sustainability of a meat market in such an active area. Are you organising the transition?

Smithfield Market (1)

  • Reference: 2011/1074
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
A constituent has written to me to raise a number of issues concerning Smithfield market. It is recommended in a number of reports and studies, including the 2007 London Wholesale Market Review, that wholesale meat traders move out of their current location. Do you have a view on this and if so, what action are you taking?

Cycle Superhighway (CS2)

  • Reference: 2011/1072
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Constituents have contacted me to voice their concerns that the CS2 may not be continued beyond the Bow flyover to the Olympic Park and on to Ilford.. Can you confirm whether or not this is the case and if so, what plans there are to consult with residents? Is this merely a delay, or a cancellation and what are the reasons behind it?

Big Society

  • Reference: 2011/1071
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
What are you planning to do (and this means some action by you or your office) to help London's voluntary and community organisations get through the cuts. The context is that nationally it is anticipated that there will be between £300 million and £800 million less funding for VCS groups in the next financial year depending on whether the predictions of the Institute of Finance Directors (£1.2 billion nationally) or New Philanthropy Capital (£5 billion nationally) are true.
