Money has been made available to prevent rat-running and speeding in residential side roads surrounding the North Circular Road at Bounds Green and Palmers Green.

Or do you propose not to support such initiatives?

Do you recognise the frustration felt by residents of Wapping about the inadequacy of the replacement bus services while the East London Line is closed for two and a half years? I have submitted a number of proposals to TfL, which I expect that you will be briefed on. What is your position?
