Biking boroughs funding

  • Reference: 2011/0781
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Thank you for your positive answer to my question 672/2011 on ring fencing money for biking boroughs. Can you detail the reasons and financial constraints which account for you allocating such a small amount of money, with £4m spread over 13 boroughs and three years?

Pedestrian and cyclist collisions

  • Reference: 2011/0780
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
In your answer to 4074/2010 you tell us that 139 collisions with cyclists caused injury to a pedestrian, including 1 fatality. Can you provide an equivalent figure for injury to cyclists from these collisions? Is there any analysis available of who was at fault in these collisions?

Right direction

  • Reference: 2011/0779
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Will your new strategy to improve transport safety and security in London include a section explaining the role of safety cameras in reducing speeding and red light jumping?

Red route enforcement (2)

  • Reference: 2011/0778
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Can you confirm that the new safer transport contract with the Met Police will contain a penalty clause relating to bus reliability affected by red route enforcement? A TfL report in 2006 revealed that rigorous enforcement had reduced average waiting times by 15 per cent.

Red route enforcement (1)

  • Reference: 2011/0777
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Can you confirm that the service level agreement stipulations on red route enforcement in the new safer transport contract with the Met Police will include PCSOs reporting to the Traffic Directorate on any unsafe or disruptive road works, using the new software on their handheld ticketing devices?

Blackfriars bridge redesign

  • Reference: 2011/0776
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Will you make clear that any redesign of Blackfriars Bridge should retain space for a cycle lane in each direction, even if that means that other road traffic is squeezed and unable to have an extra lane?

Barclays sponsorship (3)

  • Reference: 2011/0775
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Do you agree that the image of the bike hire scheme is being damaged by association with a bank which paid £3.4bn in bonuses and other performance rewards?

Barclays sponsorship (2)

  • Reference: 2011/0774
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
How much have you asked Barclays to pay towards the extension of bike hire to east London in addition to their pledged £25m?

Barclays sponsorship (1)

  • Reference: 2011/0773
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Can you tell me (a) the total amount spent by Transport for London on the Cycle Superhighways and the Cycle Hire schemes to date and (b) how much of this came from Barclays sponsorship money to date?

Tree pruning in Greenwich Park

  • Reference: 2011/0771
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
Will you ask LOCOG to urgently review their plans to prune more than 400 trees, including ancient and veteran trees, to heights of up to 5.2m, with some branches being removed to the stem? This seems excessive, runs contrary to guidelines and could cause long-term damage to highly valuable trees.
