Consultation on Possible Changes to Bus B14 Consultation on possible changes to bus B14 Consultation Report March 2014 1 2 Consultation on possible changes to bus B14 Consultation Report 3 4 Contents 1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................... 2 2 The consultation ............................................................................................................. 2 3 Responses from members of the public ......................................................................... 4 4 Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders .............................................. 8 Appendices Appendix A – Copy of the consultation letter ........................................................................ 9 Appendix B – Letter distribution area .................................................................................. 12 Appendix C – List of stakeholders consulted ...................................................................... 12 1 1 Introduction Route B14 runs between Bexleyheath Shopping Centre and Orpington Station on Mondays to Saturdays and during the daytime on Sundays, generally every 30 minutes. We recently consulted stakeholders and the public on a proposal to re-route the B14 at Albany Park. The scheme proposed that the B14 would run from Bexley Lane, travel along Royal Road, Maylands Drive, Kimberley Drive and Longmead Drive. It would no longer serve Onslow Drive. The consultation took place from 13 January to 21 February 2014. The current routeing was originally put in place as a temporary measure in 2008, due to safety concerns over the difficulty of the bus making the turn from Longmead Drive onto Bexley Lane. The layout of this junction has now been altered to make the turn easier and safer for road users. The route was diverted to take this proposed route earlier in 2013 and comments were received to maintain the diverted route. This report explains the background to the scheme, the consultation and summarises the responses. It will contribute to the decision on whether to go ahead with the proposed scheme or not. All views will be considered in the decision making process. 2 The consultation The consultation was designed to enable us to understand opinions about the proposed change to route B14 and help inform our final decision making. The potential outcomes of the consultation are: • 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 • We abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation. 2.1 Consultation objectives 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. 2 2.2 Who we consulted The public consultation intended to seek the views of people who live near to the proposed route, current users of the service and other potential users. We also consulted stakeholders including the affected Councils, traffic police, London TravelWatch, 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 4. 2.3 Consultation material, distribution and publicity A letter and map explaining the proposed re-route was distributed to approximately 1,479 local residents and businesses. A copy of this letter is shown in Appendix A and a map of the distribution area can be found in Appendix B. The letter was also emailed to stakeholders, as well as being available online through the TfL consultation website. We invited people to respond to the consultation by emailing us at [email protected] or by using the our freepost address FREEPOST TFL CONSULTATIONS as well as filling in our online form at https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/B14 We asked seven specific questions, a free text response box was available for further comments. A map showing the existing bus route and proposed re-route was put up on 20 lamp posts along the hail and ride section of the B14 route in Albany Park. 2.4 Meetings and site visits We contacted the London Borough of Bexley’s transport planning team and informed them of the proposed scheme before the consultation started. 2.5 General response There were 55 responses in total. Of these, 53 were from members of the public and 2 from stakeholders. There were 33 responses (60%) which were supportive of the proposals, 21 (38%) which opposed the proposals and 1 (1%) who neither supported nor opposed the proposals. We also received one petition with 12 signatures opposing the proposals. The main issues raised by respondents against the re-routeing included concerns about a longer walk to access bus services and a potential increase in congestion on Longmead Drive / Bexley Lane. The main issues raised by respondents against the two fixed stops included concerns about congestion and stops outside properties. 3 3 Responses from members of the public A total number of 53 consultation responses were received from members of the public, 5 by email and 31 online and 17 by post, see chart below.

    Appendix 2 London Assembly (Mayor’s Question Time) – 25 May 2016 Transcript of Agenda Item 4 – Questions to the Mayor Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): Can we now please go to the list of questions that have been tabled in advance. 2016/1405 - London’s Economy and the EU Fiona Twycross AM How does continued membership of the EU deliver economic benefits to Londoners and the capital’s businesses? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Assembly Member Twycross. I would first of all like to note that this is my first Mayor’s Question Time and it is appropriate that my first question and many others during this session relate to the most pressing and important issue the capital and the country faces: the European Union (EU) referendum. The weight of Assembly Members’ questions today reflects how vital this issue is to the Londoners whom you and I represent. I will be campaigning to remain in the EU and I hope Londoners agree with me and also vote to remain. I urge people to find out how to register, make sure they are registered by the deadline - 7 June 2016 - and get out the vote on 23 June 2016. In answer to your specific question, the EU is vital to London’s economic success. It has been estimated that over half a million London jobs were associated with trade with the EU and a third of London’s business branches - 141,000 - sold goods and services to the EU. Overall, 44% of the UK’s exports are to the EU, far more than to any other region of the world.

  • SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL and ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan Storms Into City Hall
    SPECIAL BRIEFING: LONDON MAYORAL AND ASSEMBLY ELECTION RESULTS 2016 7 May 2016 Khan storms into City Hall Robert Gordon Clark Executive Chairman Sadiq Khan has been elected as Mayor of London with a comprehensive 57%-43% victory over Conservative Zac Goldsmith after second preference votes. He also returned the biggest ever first preference vote (1,148,716) for a mayoral candidate against the highest ever mayoral election turnout (45.6%). For Khan, the uber-campaigner who managed Labour’s success in London local elections in 2014 and in the capital’s 73 seats at the General Election last year, this is the pinnacle of his electoral achievements to date and confirmation should anyone need it that London is now a solidly left leaning city and one at ease with electing a first Muslim Mayor. Meanwhile the race for third was as tight as predicted with the Green Party’s Sian Berry repeating the party’s third place of 2012 with 6% of first preference votes, narrowly ahead of the Lib Dems’ Caroline Pidgeon on 5%. UKIP’s Peter Whittle was fifth with 4% followed by Sophie Walker of the Women’s Equality Party on 2%. Khan’s energy and enthusiasm for the mayoralty was evident right from the start of Labour’s selection contest where he overcame frontrunner Tessa Jowell. Hustings victory then morphed seamlessly into a mayoral campaign where he was much quicker than Goldsmith in activating party supporters and hitting the streets and airwaves with his vision for London. He also zoomed in on parts of the capital and communities where predecessor Ken Livingstone struggled in 2008 and 2012.
