Will the Mayor’s Budget affect how Londoners get around the capital – both today and in the future?
What about the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) – how much more money does it need?
The London Assembly Budget and Performance Committee will tomorrow discuss the Mayor’s draft Budget for 2015/16 [1] and how it will affect Transport for London and the London Legacy Development Corporation.
The Committee will explore issues raised in its Pre-Budget Report[2] which questions how targets for improved services will be achieved while the purse strings are tightened.
The following guests will be questioned about issues including the closing of tube ticket offices, the replacement deal for the collapsed Bombardier signalling contract, progress on the Olympic Stadium and the Olympicopolis development:

Sir Peter Hendy CBE, Commissioner for Transport, TfL
