I have lobbied by residents, staff and patients of Northwick Park Hospital in support of extending the Number 18 bus service which currently terminates in Sudbury, to Northwick Park Hospital. I understand that previously this has been dismissed because route 182 already serves the Hospital. However, the interchange between route 18 and 182 is difficult and patients and visitors to the hospital are in desperate need of a simpler solution. They would like the Mayor to extend route 18 to Northwick Park Hospital. Will you reconsider this in light of the support this proposal has in the local area?

I have been contacted by constituents whose teenage children attended the demonstrations on Wednesday 24th November. They were kettled by the police for 8 hours without access to toilets, food and shelter. Why were the police using such draconian tactics when dealing with the peaceful demonstrators? Can you assure me that if there are future demonstrations by students in London then they will not be treated in this way? Do you agree that if the Police treat young people in this way then peaceful protests are likely to turn into hostile protests?

The refurbishment of Harrow on the Hill station to make it accessible was linked to regenerating Harrow and making the town a designated Intensification Area. As the funding for this was withdrawn by you could you tell me what proposals you have for fulfilling the original proposals in your London plan to make Harrow on the Hill accessible?

Following the Transport Committee's damning report on the lack of accessibility to most underground stations in London, will TfL be investing funding in making stations such as Stanmore, where people need to use the nearby hospital's facilities, more accessible for wheelchair users?

Thank you for your response to Question No: 3660 / 2010. As you stated: 'It should be noted that there is already a step-free route to and from the platforms at Stanmore using a ramp (which has been independently assessed as complying fully with British Standards) via the car park.' Unfortunately, the car park is closed during the daytime so step-free route is completely useless. Would you agree for a TfL representative to meet me at the station to fully discuss the options as soon as possible?

Thank you for you answer to Question No: 3659 / 2010. Do you agree that directing cyclists along a 'fast' or 'easy' route where cars, HGVs and buses are driving at high speeds is dangerous? The lack of consistency in provisions for cycling on London's roads is confusing and counter-productive to cyclists. Is this what you call cycling revolution? Why are cyclists still the least important road users when they are the most vulnerable?

Does the Mayor believe Cllr Brian Coleman AM is the right person to be Chairman and Leader of the LFEPA, in view of his mis-handling of the London Fire Brigade dispute and his antagonising remarks towards the Fire Brigade Union which has brought both the GLA and LFEPA into disrepute?

Over the past few weeks an unusual number of incidents have occurred on the Underground network during which we've seen among other passengers being led through tunnels because of broken down new Victoria Line trains. Can you guarantee my constituents that engineering works scheduled to finish in 2012 will not be delayed as a result of these incidents and cause huge embarrassment during the Olympics?
