Now that you have won a successful second term as Mayor of London, how you will support jobs in the capital over the next three years? Improving Air Quality Reporting in London Question No: 2021/1670 Leonie Cooper The recent Coroner’s report on preventing future deaths like tragic death of Ella Adoo- Kissi-Debrah states that there is low public awareness of air pollution levels and stated that ‘Greater awareness would help individuals reduce their personal exposure to air pollution.’1 How have you improved air quality reporting in London and how has this impacted upon the health and wellbeing of Londoners? 1 Judiciary.UK, ‘Regulation 28: Report to Prevent Further Deaths’, 20 April 2021 Reaching zero carbon in London by 2030 Question No: 2021/1431 Zack Polanski What new actions are you now taking to put London on course to reach zero carbon by 2030?

Jobs for London’s Young People Question No: 2021/1801 Joanne McCartney London’s young people have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic in terms of employment; ONS statistics show that 80% of those who left the payroll were under 35 years old with the under 25s the most affected.

Manifesto Promises to Black Cab Drivers Question No: 2021/1946 Keith Prince In your 2016 manifesto you promised “special privileges built in… for those who become a licensed London taxi driver.” In your 2021 manifesto your offer to black cab drivers read: “Black cabs and private hire vehicles continue to play an important role in London’s transport offer, and I know how difficult the last 12 months have been for the sector. I will work with them while expecting the highest safety and environmental standards.” Why was your more recent offer such a downgrade in comparison to your 2016 pledge? Congestion Charge Question No: 2021/2185 Tony Devenish In December 2020 your Deputy Mayor for Transport told the Budget and Performance Committee that “in the TfL budget the planning assumption… is that the temporary changes to the Congestion Charge would remain in place for the whole of the financial year 2021/22.” Is that still your working assumption? The Green New Deal and Green New Jobs Question No: 2021/1890 Len Duvall OBE With predictions that the wind-down of the furlough scheme from July will impact on employment levels across London, how quickly can you upsize London’s green economy to deliver on your manifesto promise of new green jobs that are diverse, sustainable, meaningful and well paid?

QUESTIONS FOR WRITTEN ANSWER Questions not asked during Mayor’s Question time will be given a written response by 02 June, 2021. Co-ordinating Youth Activities and Opportunities Across London Question No: 2021/1361 Caroline Pidgeon There are many valuable youth projects across London, but many of these are small scale or struggle with access to funding. Will you look at working with boroughs and others to establish a central organising body for after school youth activities and opportunities across London, which can not only organise and promote youth activities but also support community groups, schools and other organisations to access funding and promote and advertise the work they are doing? Stop and Search Use by the Met Question No: 2021/1362 Caroline Pidgeon In an interview in September 2015 you said of stop and search “if I’m Mayor I’ll do all in my power to further cut its use. Overuse of stop and search can have a dramatic effect on communities. It undermines public confidence in our police if Londoners are being stopped and searched for no good reason.” Despite this we have seen a dramatic increase in the use of stop and search since you became Mayor of London. Do you commit to using your second term to cut the use of stop and search in our city and end the use of suspicionless stop and search altogether? Review of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy (1) Question No: 2021/1363 Caroline Pidgeon You have committed to a refresh of the VAWG Strategy for London so that it takes a public health focussed approach. When will this begin and how will you be consulting and working with key stakeholders to ensure they have input in this process? Review of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy (2) Question No: 2021/1364 Caroline Pidgeon Will you introduce a permanent Women’s Board made up of survivors and key stakeholder groups to directly advise and hold you to account on your refreshed VAWG Strategy? Concerns Over a Return to Crime Targets (1) Question No: 2021/1365 Caroline Pidgeon The performance of the Met should be measured against the delivery of a publicly available, well-rounded plan covering all elements of policing, not simply raw crime data. Do you share my concerns at the Home Office’s moves towards reintroducing crime targets for forces including the Met and what are you doing to challenge the Government on this approach? Concerns Over a Return to Crime Targets (2) Question No: 2021/1366 Caroline Pidgeon In its 2016 report into the way in which the Met dealt with child abuse and exploitation cases Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) specifically criticised crime targets, sighting them as part of the issue given resources were being directed into chasing priority targets. If such targets are once again introduced for the Met, how will you work with the force’s senior leadership to ensure we do not see a diversion away from important investigations and work on important issues such as child abuse? Women Feel London is Becoming Less Safe Question No: 2021/1367 Caroline Pidgeon Recent research conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies found that 50% of women in the capital feel London is currently becoming more unsafe.

  • 1 Decision of the Election Committee on a Due Impartiality Complaint Brought by the Respect Party in Relation to the London Deba
    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint brought by the Respect Party in relation to The London Debate ITV London, 5 April 2016 LBC 97.3 , 5 April 2016 1. On Friday 29 April 2016, Ofcom’s Election Committee (“the Committee”)1 met to consider and adjudicate on a complaint made by the Respect Party in relation to its candidate for the London Mayoral election, George Galloway (“the Complaint”). The Complaint was about the programme The London Debate, broadcast in ITV’s London region on ITV, and on ITV HD and ITV+1 at 18:00 on Tuesday 5 April 2016 (“the Programme”). The Programme was broadcast simultaneously by LBC on the local analogue radio station LBC 97.3, as well as nationally on DAB radio and on digital television (as a radio channel). 2. The Committee consisted of the following members: Nick Pollard (Chair, Member of the Ofcom Content Board); Dame Lynne Brindley DBE (Member of the Ofcom Board and Content Board); Janey Walker (Member of the Ofcom Content Board); and Tony Close (Ofcom Director with responsibility for Content Standards, Licensing and Enforcement and Member of the Ofcom Content Board). 3. For the reasons set out in this decision, having considered all of the submissions and evidence before it under the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”), the Committee decided not to uphold the Respect Party’s complaint. The Committee found that in respect of ITV the broadcast of the Programme complied with the requirements of the Code. In the case of LBC, the Programme did not a contain list of candidates in the 2016 London Mayoral election (in audio form) and LBC therefore breached Rule 6.11.

  • A Co-Operative Vision for South London's
    Party Support Mailing April 2012 NATIONAL NEWS Please find below the latest news from Parliament, our national campaigns, the Co-operative Councils Network and more. Please circulate to your members or include this in your local newsletters. You can find all the latest news and opinions from the Co-operative Party at www.party.coop. A Co-operative vision for South London’s libraries Labour & Co-operative councillor Timothy Godfrey, Secretary of the London Co-operative Party, contrasts the possibilities for library services offered by co-operative solutions and the cuts and closures threatened by Croydon’s Conservatives In Croydon, local Labour & Co-operative Councillors have proposed to the ruling Conservative Council that instead of privatising the library service to a large scale private provider or another local authority under contract, the Council exploits an example of efficiency and popularity on its doorstep. The Upper Norwood Joint Library, is an independent library authority funded and run by two South London Councils, Croydon Council and Lambeth Council. Croydon Council spends £8million running one central library and 12 branch libraries. If you allow a generous £1.2million to run the central library, and its £200,000 contribution to the Upper Norwood Library (Lambeth and Croydon both contribute half the budget), that leaves a cost per branch library in Croydon at a staggering £550,000 per year. That might be acceptable, if the branch libraries in Croydon were well staffed, open long hours and in large buildings. They are not. They are small, often only open 4 days a week. To add insult to injury, the Conservative run council cut half of all qualified librarians last year in a ‘cost cutting’ drive.

    Making the most of Social Media to promote #CleanAirforChildren 1. Tips for using Twitter and Facebook at the Clean Air for Children London Question Time event ● Use our ‘How to find your elected representatives in England’ guide to identify your local representatives. Make a list of who you want to tweet at and share Facebook posts or messages with and search for them a few days before the event, these might include: ✓ Your MP ✓ Mayor of London - @MayorofLondon ✓ Your ward councillors ✓ Your Council Leader ✓ Your London Assembly Member ✓ Chairs/Deputy Chairs of the London Assembly’s Transport and Environment Committees ▪ Environment ▪ Chair: Caroline Russell - @CarolineRussell ▪ Deputy Chair: Leonie Cooper - @LeonieC ▪ Transport ▪ Chair: Caroline Pidgeon - @CarolinePidgeon ▪ Deputy Chair: Florence Eshalomi - @FloEshalomi ✓ Your borough council (search under the name of your borough and twitter, e.g., LB Camden Twitter, LB Hounslow Twitter) ● Keep your tone positive and respectful even if you are being challenging or critical. ● Use the hashtags #cleanairforchildren and #Llondon ● If you have enough characters remaining in your tweets, it might be good to add in #cleanair or #airpollution into your tweets so they are picked up and retweeted by a larger audience. ● Tag or retweet to the @ClientEarth and @lunguk Twitter accounts. ● If you are directing your tweet at somebody in particular, make sure that others can also see it by putting a full-stop before their Twitter account name to start the message, e.g.: “.@[yourMP] will you... “. ● If posting on Facebook, focusing on your ‘personal pollution story’ could win more likes and shares – write about how dirty air in your area affects you, your children and your community and why this has led you to call for action.
