The Standard reported on a collision between a rider of a dockless hire bike and a pedal cyclist at the end of October resulting in a very serious brain injury for the cyclist. The article stated that companies “that hire out heavy e-bikes that move at speed do not have to take out public liability insurance” and “are only insured if one of their bikes hits a car, but not people.” Are you concerned that victims of collisions with dockless hire bikes may struggle to get the compensation they need, and what work are you doing to address this new...

The Government’s policy statement published on 23 October 2025, Support for housebuilding in London, says: “the GLA propose to reduce requirements for cycle parking at residential developments, taking into account higher densities of development in London and the rise of dockless cycle and e-scooter hire.” Given Hounslow council’s decision to end its contract with Lime, the fact that around a third of London boroughs do not to allow dockless bikes, and the lack of control the GLA has over the companies supplying dockless e-bikes and e-scooters, are you concerned this decision may affect your ability to meet your 80 per...

Thank you for your answer to my question MQ 2025/2225 about providing a safe, protected alternative to the closed Greenway in Newham, in which you said: “The borough is currently exploring options for providing alternative safe routes for people walking and cycling.” I have been contacted by Newham Cycling Campaign (NCC) about the Greenway to say that Newham Council has yet to "construct safe diversions for walking, wheeling and cycling” and are asking Thames Water to delay Phase 3 of the Greenway closures. NCC also tell me that during the Phase 1 closure almost 100 people contacted them to say...

Heathrow’s 2022 Surface Access Strategy set a target to increase the number of passengers using public transport when travelling to and from the airport from 40 per cent in 2019 to 45 per cent in 2026. In 2016, Heathrow Airport pledged to ensure that the number of airport-related vehicles on the road would not increase if a third runway was built, yet Department for Transport data for 2023 (published December 2024), shows that only 41 per cent of people travelling to Heathrow airport used public transport. What should Heathrow’s targets for mode share be to ensure you achieve your target...

A constituent has raised concerns about the works to Gallows Corner flyover and roundabout, which were expected to finish in September 2025, but are now prolonged indefinitely.
