State of London Debate

  • Reference: 2011/0273
  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
In reference to your answer to question 3785/2010 you accuse me of misinterpreting data: 'I stated that we had 12,380 engagement impressions, not that 12,380 sent out two or more tweets'. However, your answer to question 2528/2010 clearly states 'There were 231 attendees in City Hall, along with 12,380 individual people who sent out two or more tweets on Twitter in response to the debate.' Your words are recorded on the GLA website - You got it wrong. Will you now admit it, apologise and then let's move on?!

Pollution Hackney Old Street

  • Reference: 2011/0272
  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
TfL's 3rd annual Travel in London report shows that 'local normalised' mean pollutant concentrations at Old Street in Hackney have increased by 40% between the 20 months prior to and 22 months post implementation of LEZ phase 1. Can you tell me what has caused this worrying increase and what action, if any, have been implemented?

Greenways

  • Reference: 2011/0271
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
Last month, in response to my question 4070/2010 about off-road or traffic-free routes for cyclists, you brought up TfL's 'ongoing programme to deliver 'Greenways' in London' stating that 'Greenways provide attractive and traffic free environments for cyclists that make the most of London's parks and open spaces.' You pointed out that 'Greenways will play an important role for spectators accessing the Olympic venues during the 2012 games with eight legacy Greenways funded by the Olympic Delivery Authority and delivered by boroughs and TfL, linking into the Olympic Park and River Zone venues.' So would you now be willing to explain...

Biking Boroughs

  • Reference: 2011/0270
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
In recent questions, you have referred to support that was provided at the beginning of last year to 'kick-start' the Biking Boroughs initiative across 13 London boroughs. Can you now confirm what progress has been made as a result of that support and what plans are now in place to deliver objectives.
