The consultation received 11 responses, with 7 responses supporting or partially supporting the scheme. Main issues raised with regard to the proposals included requests for further private parking, or issues with nearby bus stands. Conclusion and next steps: After considering all responses, we intend to proceed with the scheme as set out in the consultation documents, subject to confirmation of funding and relevant approvals. We expect to announce a timeframe for implementation later this year. About this document: This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of this consultation. Appendix A contains our responses to issues commonly raised. 1 1 Background London Road represents a long, multi-borough connection between areas of South London. It is also home to various commercial areas, with shopfronts representing a significant proportion of this thoroughfare. In response to a request from a local business owner, we investigated the possibility of changing parking restrictions outside 793-95 London Road, which represents a particularly busy commercial district in Thornton Heath. These proposals would seek to allow for more parking, as well as better access for disabled shoppers in the immediate vicinity. 2 Scheme description The proposals would provide a better balance of general and blue badge parking provision. The overall amount of parking would increase, benefiting local shops and their visitors. In addition a new parking bay on private land would be marked out – this would not be subject to any TfL parking enforcement. 2.1 Descriptions of the proposals 1. Parking & Disabled Persons’ Vehicles restriction (general parking, maximum 30 minutes) - relocated and extended to 20 metres length, accommodating a maximum of 4 cars at any one time 2. Disabled Persons' Vehicles restriction (blue badge holders only) – relocated to rear of general parking - proposed 6 metres long, accommodating one vehicle at any one time 3. New private parking bay 4. Removal of section of No Stopping restriction (red line) The red route restrictions apply Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm. At other times parking is uncontrolled except on double red lines and bus stops. Note that all other red line and red route restrictions will remain as existing. Consultation materials, including the map and consultation letter sent to residents/stakeholders, can be found in appendix A. 2 2.2 Location of proposed scheme 3 3 The consultation The consultation ran between 5 February and 17 March 2016. 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 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 residents living close to the junction. Please see Appendix B for a map of the local area consulted. We consulted stakeholders including 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 5. 3.2 Consultation material, distribution and publicity We sent a letter and map explaining the proposed changes to approximately 2000 local households and businesses. A copy of consultation materials can be found in appendix B. In the consultation material that was available online, we asked two specific questions regarding the proposals: 1. Do you support our proposals? 2. Do you have any further comments on these proposals? Question 2 provided a free text area where people were able to leave their comments. We invited people to respond by emailing us at [email protected] or by using the TfL website https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/london-road 4 4 Overview of consultation responses 11 responses to the consultation were received; 7 were received online and 4 via email. Of these responses, 9 were from members of the public, and 2 were from stakeholder groups. In the consultation material we asked two scheme-specific questions: Do you support our proposals? 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 No Not Yes Partially Not sure No opinion Answered Number of respondents 3 5 0 0 3 0 Do you have any further comments on our proposals? We asked people to elaborate on their previous answer by asking “Do you have any comments?” We invited people to leave comments on the proposals. 11 comments and suggestions were received, which fell into several main themes, which are listed in the following table. 5 Table 1 Comment Number of comments Room for more private parking 4 Extend hours of operation 2 Parking on both sides of space possible 2 Widen footpath 2 Space should be left clear 2 Rationale not clear for change 1 More parking could be allowed 1 Rationale for red line not clear 1 Some short-term free parking should be available 1 No private parking should be made available 1 Bus stop needs redesign to allow for safer [zebra] crossing 1 Consent of owner needed for proposals 1 6 5 Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders We received a total of 2 responses from stakeholders which are summarised below. Sense with Roads The organisation was in partial support of the proposals, though questioned their rationale. They also queried whether there was not room for the further extension of private parking along Deepak Foods. Finally, there were queries as toward the availability of free parking, as well as the necessity of red restrictions along the route, which would prevent the possible introduction of parking on both sides of the project area. Cllr. Stuart King, Croydon Council Asked to ensure the project only proceeded under the consent of the property owner (Deepak Foods) 6 Conclusion and next steps After considering all responses, we intend to proceed with the scheme as set out in the consultation documents, subject to confirmation of funding and relevant approvals. We expect to announce a timeframe for implementation later this year. 7 Appendix A – Response to issues raised Has TfL investigated the designs to ensure more private parking could not be added? We are not responsible for the provision of private parking. However an opportunity has been found for a parking space on private non-highway land. We are pleased, in agreement with the local businesses, to mark out a private bay as part of the proposed parking changes. What are the hours of operation on the parking restrictions in the proposals? These are listed in the explanation paragraph after the itemised proposal list. Has TfL looked at the possibility of enhancing pedestrian provision near the bus stop outside this address? This does not form part of the scope of these minor parking proposals. Has the possibility of removing all restrictions or removing all parking outside this address been queried as part of the proposals? Having no controls could mean that there would be no turnover of parking – to the detriment of local businesses. 8 Appendix B – Consultation Materials B1 Consultation letter 9 10 B2 Map of proposals 11 B3 Letter Distribution Area 12 Appendix C – List of stakeholders consulted London TravelWatch Elected Members Caroline Pidgeon AM Greater London Assembly Darren Johnson AM Greater London Assembly Fiona Twycross AM Greater London Assembly Gareth Bacon AM Greater London Assembly Jenny Jones AM Greater London Assembly Murad Qureshi AM Greater London Assembly Nicky Gavron AM Greater London Assembly Stephen Knight AM Greater London Assembly Tom Copley AM Greater London Assembly Murad Qureshi AM Greater London Assembly Steve O’Connell

    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.

  • City Hall Rich List 2020
    City Hall Rich List 2020 Darwin Friend June 2020 Introduction Scrutinising staffing costs at local and national level is a hallmark of our mission to make government more accountable to taxpayers. This principle underpins our annual Town Hall Rich List, which details remuneration of the highest paid people across local government.1 It should also apply to municipal government. The Greater London Authority (GLA) is one of the biggest local authorities in the UK; it includes a number of well-known bodies and a powerful mayor. Sadiq Khan, the current mayor of London, has complained about financial woes, while the staffing costs of City Hall employees have risen by 82 per cent, from £36 million in 2016-17 to £65.5 million in the 2020-21 proposed budget.2 Meanwhile, the mayor has increased the band D council tax precept by just under nine per cent in 2019-20, and London taxpayers have gone from paying £295 in 2015-16 to £332 in 2020-21 for the GLA.3,4 The City Hall Rich List details the employees working for the Greater London Authority, Transport for London, London Fire Brigade and Metropolitan Police whose total remuneration exceeds £100,000. Key findings ▪ There were at least 654 people employed by the GLA and its subsidiary bodies in 2018-19 who received more than £100,000. Of these, 154 received over £150,000 in total remuneration. In 2015-16, 653 received more than £100,000 and 147 employees collected over £150,000. ▪ In 2018-19 the body with the highest number of employees with remuneration in excess of £100,000 was Transport for London, with 518 employees.

  • 1 8 March 2017 Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne Mccartney, Joins
    8 March 2017 Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne McCartney, joins Lambeth primary school children for a mesmerizing performance of Romeo and Juliet Download images of the Deputy Mayor’s visit here Deputy Mayor for London, Joanne McCartney, today joined children from Archbishop Sumner Primary School in Lambeth to experience the National Theatre’s latest production for primary schools. This spring, more than 12,000 young people will see the NT’s tour for younger audiences of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth, with these productions visiting 27 schools across the capital and playing on stage at the National Theatre and Stratford Circus. The NT is continuing its commitment to touring live theatre to schools across London with its latest production of Romeo and Juliet. The production is a modern twist on Shakespeare’s classic love story set against a vibrant urban backdrop with excitement, colour, dancing and live song. A company of eight present a contemporary celebration of Shakespeare's masterpiece suitable for children aged 8 – 12yrs. Lisa Burger, Executive Director at the National Theatre said: “We believe that it is important for children and young people of all ages to have access to high quality, engaging theatre and we are committed to giving young people access to inspirational theatre and embedding the arts as a vital part of the curriculum. In 2017, we are offering young people across London the opportunity to see Shakespeare productions in their primary and secondary schools as we realise that for many teachers, it is often the logistics of bringing a whole year group to the theatre which can be the barrier to young people accessing world-class theatre.

Green Homes Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund The London Assembly Environment and Housing Committees welcome Government investment in making homes more energy efficient and were pleased to see the Green Homes Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund announced in the Chancellor’s Summer Statement. The energy efficiency of homes in London is a significant problem. Many Londoners face considerable issues with damp, condensation and cold, which in turn negatively affects their health and wellbeing. As this is such a critical issue for Londoners, the Committees are writing to you to outline some questions and key points for consideration, as information for households about the funds continue to emerge and you and your teams further develop and roll them out. We support the Government’s ambition to reach net zero emissions, but this must be achieved sooner than 2050. In December 2018, the London Assembly passed a motion to declare a climate emergency, calling on the Mayor to do likewise and on the Government to provide him with the powers and funding needed to make London a carbon neutral city by 2030.1 The Mayor declared a climate emergency shortly afterwards, and in early 2020, set a target 1 https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/assembly/call-on-mayor-to-declare-climate-emergency Environment and Housing Committees for London to be net zero-carbon by 2030, alongside his manifesto commitment for London to be zero-carbon by 2050.

  • The Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Minister for Sustainable Development And
    The Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Minister for Sustainable Development and Energy Innovation and Deputy Leader of the House of Lords Nobel House 9 Millbank c/o 17 Smith Square London SW1P 3JR By registered post 20 April 2009 Dear Lord Hunt Is it still government policy to issue smog alerts for London? I sent you an email on Sunday 5 April but am not sure whether you received it so I am resending it as this letter. I am writing on behalf of the Campaign for Clean Air in London (CCAL) to ask you to confirm please whether it is still the government's policy to issue public warnings of significant smog events (i.e. not just those required to be made by law). Perhaps, if the government does not plan to continue this practice, it might 'direct' the Mayor of London to take over responsibility for issuing these warnings to protect public health in London. Clear lines of responsibility would clearly need to be drawn in the latter case. As far as CCAL is aware, the government did not issue a public smog warning before Bonfire night in 2008 or in the week commencing 30 March 2009 week in respect of one of the first summer smogs of 2009. CCAL's considers the lack of such warnings to be surprising - not least when the former was issued in 2006 and 2007 and the latter in 2006, 2007 and 2008. To give you a measure of the severity of the smog in the week commencing 30 March 2009 in London (which coincided with the G20 meetings in London), I received a CERC airTEXT alert on the evening of Thursday 2 April forecasting 'high air pollution everywhere in City of Westminster' - I do not recollect ever before receiving such a severe warning (even in the high summer).

These are addressed individually below: Why is London experiencing such a high growth in Type 2 Diabetes and what impact is this growth having on health spend? Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) has greater prevalence in people and communities of Afro- Caribbean, Asian, Chinese and Arabic origin and prevalence figures in a cosmopolitan city such as London reflect this variation. Other risk factors which are not specific to London, but contribute to the increased risk of developing T2DM, are principally obesity, which is due to dietary factors and sedentary lifestyles. A background ageing population produces further increased prevalence as the risk of developing T2DM rises with age. Eight per cent of the UK diabetes healthcare budget is still spent on the care and treatment of diabetes-related complications and this represents 10% of the annual NHS budget in England.1 Early diagnosis and improved quality of care for people with T2DM is crucial to prevent further projected rises in healthcare spend on this condition and related complications. 1 How might further growth in type 2 diabetes be curbed? Prevention and effective management of obesity should, in part, mitigate the alarming rise in the incidence of T2DM.
