Threat of Tube Strike on the Royal Wedding day

  • Reference: 2011/0061-1
  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
Given that ASLEF agreed with London Underground to work on bank holidays, will you join me in condemning ASLEF's threatened strike action and all the disruption it would cause Londoners and visitors alike on the day of the Royal Wedding (29 April)?

Eviction of Squatters

  • Reference: 2011/0060-1
  • Question by: Steve O'Connell
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
It is estimated that there are 20,000 squatters in the country, the majority of whom are in London. Despite recent Government advice, law-abiding home owners still have no option but to go through complex and expensive legal proceedings to evict trespassers from their homes. Will the Mayor join with me in calling on the Government to grant the police greater powers to evict squatters without a court order?

South Kentish Town Underground Station

  • Reference: 2011/0020-1
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
A constituent asks, has any consideration been given to reopening the old South Kentish Town underground station in order to deal with the overcrowding in the Camden Town station? He suggests that with Camden Market expanding over the next few years and no sign of the Camden Town station being redeveloped, owners of the market could even be asked to part-fund the required works.

According to CHAIN there was a 6% increase in people sleeping rough at some point on the streets of London last year. With this mind is your target to end rough sleeping in London by the end of 2012 achievable?

Overcharging on Oyster system

  • Reference: 2011/0073
  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 19 January 2011
Figures have recently come to light that show a staggering amount of people have been overcharged when using Oyster Pay As You Go - whether through not touching in and out correctly or due to faulty Oyster readers. Given that this could well lead to people - especially those using the Oyster Auto Top Up facility - to lose trust in the system, will you review the Oyster system and how it works to reduce the number of people being overcharged in this way?
