Just going back to one of my bugbears since the ricin in Wood Green, when the local chair of the Health Trust, the local chief executive, and I think the local head of the Fire Service were not aware of the ricin incident until two days afterwards.

Therefore, what happens at the operational level, if you are all running on different communications systems? Is that high up on the agenda? I am thinking about the command, really.

Can you explain why walking, cycling and the development of individual travel plans are of relatively little interest to you as a transport planner? Has serious cost/benefit analysis been carried out at senior levels in Transport for London to determine whether such measures could deliver traffic reduction, especially in outer London, at much lower cost than expensive infrastructure projects? .

Will TfL work with the boroughs and follow the advice of the Department for Transport to define and establish a 'road hierarchy' so that the character of each road can be developed to best suit the functions it has to fulfill - providing safer walking and cycling routes, and keeping cars from 'rat-running'? .
