The City of Westminster council claimed that 15,000 Eastern European immigrants currently unaccounted for are living in the borough, in an attempt to gain more money from the government. However, electoral registration figures released before Xmas revealed that there are only 1, 852 Eastern Europeans residents in Westminster. What does this reveal about the immigration campaigns of some local authorities?

How will the Mayor ensure that the £2.9 Million of additional funding going to Islington Borough Council for youth provision is treated as such and not absorbed by other departments or used to pay for existing projects?

In light of last October's London TravelWatch report "Sunday bus performance in London" which suggests, according to London Buses' own figures, that service reliability on Sundays is worse than the other six days of the week, what steps is the Mayor taking to respond to its recommendations and in particular to extend the operational days and hours of red route controls along bus routes and bus lanes, and to increase the enforcement of those controls to achieve levels of compliance at least as good as on those other days?

I understand that there is currently no TfL Officer leading the Stoke Newington Gyratory Feasibility Study in Hackney, which I find quite atrocious. What is the timeframe to have a new officer appointed to continue to lead on this important work?

A Nunhead resident has asked me why is there currently no link between Queens Road and Nunhead without having to go all around the houses via Evelina Road, Peckham Rye and the bus garage? She suggests that the 78 could start from New Cross Gate Bus garage turn right down St. Marys Road or Lausanne Road and continue on its present route. This would save about half an hour when Rye Lane is jammed with traffic. Will TfL consider this suggestion and other possible solutions to improve the bus links in Nunhead?

I have received complaints about the failure of TfL to provide an East London Line replacement bus link between the north and south of the river. One passenger previously had a 20min commute from Rotherhithe to Shadwell and now faces a journey of around 1hr unless she pays extra to travel into zone 1. Will TfL reconsider the decision not to provide a cross river link either through the Rotherhithe Tunnel or perhaps over Tower Bridge to Tower Gateway?

What is the average number of passengers per journey using the ELP replacement bus between Canada Water and Rotherhithe Stations? What is the capacity on each journey? What is the cost of providing this service? Could the ELP make some additional stops on Salter Road so that this service could help to ease congestion on the 381 and C10 services to Canada Water?

Many local residents would like to see the name of Surrey Quays Station changed back Surrey Docks Station to recognise heritage of the area. As the station is currently closed for East London Line extension works this would be the ideal time to rename the station. Is TfL actively considering this request? When will a decision be made?
