I know that you believe community festivals and events are vitally important for local people both in terms of cohesion and identity for a local area and also for local economies in terms of attracting visitors. I would like to bring your attention to 'The Event' an annual family festival event, organised by local volunteers in Southwark Park. This year, Southwark Council has decided to cut its funding of the event by £40k leaving the organisers facing severe financial difficulties and putting the future of this highly popular, high quality and well run event in jeopardy. Will you join me...

Given your open contempt for the London Assembly and many of its members, as expressed in answer to my question 532/2008, do you consider that its £8 million budget would be better spent by the Evening Standard and BBC, which are not subject to the same red tape in obtaining information from your office?
