The proposals included a new shared pedestrian/cyclist ‘toucan’ crossing and new and upgraded sections of shared use footway, as well as a new retaining wall. The consultation aimed to provide an opportunity for people to give us feedback about the proposals and enable us to understand local opinions. Results of consultation We received 87 responses to the consultation. In the consultation we asked two main questions: 1. Do you support the proposed new toucan crossing on the A406 North Circular westbound carriageway? 61% of respondents supported the scheme, 18% opposed, 10% partially supportive, 2% were not sure, 8% did not answer the question 2. Do you support the shared use proposals from Bridge Lane to Golders Green Road and the proposed new retaining wall south of Bridge Lane? 51% of respondents supported the scheme, 21% opposed, 11% partially supportive, 6% were not sure, 2% had no opinion and 9% did not answer the question The main issues raised included safety concerns of pedestrian/cyclists crossing the A406, conflict between pedestrians and cyclists on shared use areas, and increased traffic on the A406. Next steps Following analysis of the consultation, we have decided go ahead with the scheme. We anticipate that implementation will begin in August 2017. This consultation report summarises the consultation exercise and responses received. 1 2 Background We proposed improvements for pedestrians and cyclists along the A406 North Circular from Bridge Lane to Golders Green Road and at the A406 junction with Golders Green Road and Brent Street. The proposals included converting some sections of footway to shared use for pedestrian and cyclists, and a new staggered shared pedestrian/cycle ‘toucan’ crossing on the westbound carriageway, adjacent to the Woodlands retaining wall. The proposals for the crossing were in response to safety concerns that pedestrians are crossing the A406 independently and using the central reservation as a waiting area, rather than using the pedestrian footbridge located at the junction. The existing pedestrian footbridge will remain as a secondary crossing point for pedestrians and dismounted cyclists to use. We proposed the following: • A new ‘toucan’ crossing for pedestrians and cyclists on the A406 North Circular westbound carriageway, adjacent to A406 Woodlands retaining wall. This would involve widening the central reservation by 4 metres to accommodate the crossing, central waiting area and guard railing, which in turn would require minor widening of the carriageway into the footway on the north west corner of the junction • New shared use footway for pedestrian and cyclists at the A406 junction with Golders Green Road and Brent Street. This would involve resurfacing the footways on three of the four corners of the junction to ensure surface consistency; we would also resurface the footway north of the junction to link to our current footway works at the Woodlands retaining wall. Signage and tactile paving would be used • Improve the shared use footway facilities from south of Bridge Lane to link to existing shared use facilities north of Courtleigh Gardens. This would involve resurfacing the footway to ensure surface consistency and adding new signage • Build a retaining wall to enable widening of the footway into the grass verge embankment just south of Bridge Lane • Widen the existing un-signalised crossing located across Golders Green Road to 3.2 metres to enhance facilities for the north/south movement • Introduce Advanced Stop Lines for cyclists on the Brent Street and Golders Green Road approaches 2 2.1 Location The map below shows the extent of the scheme Extent of the scheme Digital Map Data (c) Collins Bartholomew Ltd (2016) 3 The consultation The consultation ran between 24 May and 1 July 2016 and was designed to enable us to understand local opinions about the proposals. The consultation enabled us to: • Raise general awareness of the scheme with local residents, stakeholders and the public • Explain the proposed changes • Provide the opportunity for people to contact us with their feedback about the proposals The potential outcomes of the consultation were: • We decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from proceeding with the scheme as originally planned • We modify the scheme in response to issues raised in consultation 3 • We abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation The objectives of the consultation were: • To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the proposals and allow them to respond • To understand the level of support or opposition for the change • To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware • To understand concerns and objections • To allow respondents to make suggestions 3.1 Who we consulted The public consultation intended to seek the views of local residents and businesses close to the A406 North Circular Road junction with Golders Green Road and Brent Street, and Golders Green Road to Bridge Lane. Please see Appendix B for a map of the local area we consulted. We also consulted stakeholders including The Metropolitan Police, Members of Parliament, Assembly Members and local interest groups. A list of the stakeholders we consulted is shown in Appendix C and a summary of their responses is given in Section 5. 3.2 Consultation material, distribution and publicity We sent a letter and map explaining the proposed scheme to 1,979 local households and businesses. A copy of this letter and map is shown in Appendix A. The consultation material asked two questions regarding the proposal: 1. Do you support the proposed new toucan crossing on the A406 North Circular westbound carriageway? Yes / Partially / Not sure / No opinion / No 2. Do you support the shared use proposals from Bridge Lane to Golders Green Road and the proposed new retaining wall south of Bridge Lane? Yes / Partially / Not sure / No opinion / No 3. Do you have any further comments? We invited people to respond to the consultation using the TfL website https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/a406-golders-green-road-brent-street-bridge- lane or by writing to us at FREEPOST TFL CONSULTATIONS or by emailing us at [email protected] 3.3 Pre-consultation We contacted the London Borough of Barnet before the consultation period started to inform them of our proposals. We asked them for their comments regarding our consultation area as well as which local community groups and resident associations they recommend we should consult. 4 4 Overview of consultation responses A total of 87 consultation responses were received, 75 were submitted online and 12 by post or email (see figure 1 below). Figure 1 In the consultation we asked two questions to see how much support there was for our proposals. Figures 2 and 3 below show the questions we asked and the number of people who answered yes, partially, those who were not sure, had no opinion, those who answered no and those who did not answer the question.

However, occasionally, committees may have to consider some business in private.

This page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 4 Councillors Morrison and Anwar along with the Scrutiny Manager attended the Lewisham Youth Independent Advisory Group at Lewisham Police Station on Thursday 24th January 2019. The group started a year ago and was designed to be a safe space for young people and a chance to chat to local Police and share concerns and ideas. The Police were working with schools. This was happening more now compared to the past but there was always room for improvement. There were 11 young women at the meeting and all felt that they didn’t mind the idea of stop and search and it could make people feel safer but it was important it was done “fairly and politely”. The young people reported that it could be a humiliating interaction and there should be more emphasis on respect and politeness.

    The Impact of COVID-19 School Closures on Education Inequality in London

    Appendix 1 London Assembly Education Panel – 30 September 2020 Transcript of Agenda Item 9 – The Impact of COVID-19 School Closures on Education Inequality in London Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): That brings us to today’s main item for discussion on the impact of COVID-19 school closures on education inequality in London. Can I welcome our guests? We have Joanne McCartney, Deputy Mayor for Education and Childcare - welcome, Joanne - and Stuart Darke, Regional Organiser, Greater London Regional Centre, for the NASUWT. Welcome, Stuart. I did check earlier, and I think everybody is happy with first name terms. We have with us Rebecca Montacute, Research and Policy Manager, Sutton Trust; Rob Coe, Senior Associate, Education Endowment Foundation (EEF); and Sarah Wilkins, Senior Manager, Education and Youth Team, Greater London Authority (GLA). It is nice when we know the public are following us and are interested in our work. A constituent has set out the impact that school closures are having on her, and the testing regime, and I just thought I would read in what she had to say to me: “Dear Jennette, I have three children. My middle child returned to school on Thursday, 10 September. On Monday, 28 September, we received a letter from the school telling us that she needed to self-isolate for two weeks as a close contact had tested positive for coronavirus. By the time she returns to school, she will have spent barely 50% of this academic year at school. This could also be a recurring problem. There is no limit on the amount of time students may have to self-isolate this year.

    Appendix 2 Transport Committee – Wednesday, 6 December 2017 Transcript of Agenda Item 8 – Cycling Infrastructure Keith Prince AM (Chairman): It now gives me great pleasure to welcome Andrew [Gilligan], a man I worked with a few years ago when he was the Cycling Czar. He is not any more. His title is ‘Cycling Czar emeritus’ or something, in the Latin. We are now going to do a section on all sorts of things to do with cycling. Thank you very much for coming along. I am going to kick off with the first question and it goes like this. You have been critical of recent delays in getting cycling infrastructure built. What do you think has gone wrong? Andrew Gilligan (Former Cycling Commissioner): It is weak political leadership. The key condition for cycling improvements to happen is strong political leadership. We have seen that in the Mini-Hollands in Waltham Forest and in Enfield, which are the only schemes to have seen anything really happening on the ground in the last 19 months. We have not seen that from City Hall. There does not seem to be any real willingness to make decisions that significantly alter the status quo on the roads. Keith Prince AM (Chairman): Secondly, is borough capacity still a problem for delivering schemes and what are your views on plans for Cycle Superhighway (CS) 4 and CS9? Andrew Gilligan (Former Cycling Commissioner): Broadly, borough capacity was always the most serious problem we faced. Not very many boroughs are both willing and capable. Some boroughs were willing but not capable.
