Oral Response London Olympic Site Question No: 246 / 2009 Richard Barnbrook In the light of the recent British Jobs for British Workers protests, what measures will the Mayor be putting into place to ensure that local people are employed at the London Olympic Site? Oral Response Woolwich Arsenal DLR Question No: 408 / 2009 Andrew Boff Whilst the opening of the Woolwich Arsenal DLR station was hugely welcome its popularity has highlighted the overcrowding on the DLR. Therefore can the Mayor update the Assembly on the progress of the DLR upgrades to three-carriage trains? Oral Response Queens Market Question No: 508 / 2009 John Biggs Why are you scared of your constituents in Newham?

Oral Response Additional information provided following the meeting: The table attached at Appendix F sets out the number and categories of criminal offences, which were dealt with by way of fixed penalties and cautions between January and December 2007 and January and December 2008. The total number of fixed penalties and cautions in 2008 was 61,965, which accounts for 7.2 % of the total number of criminal offences in 2008 of 850,856. The issuing of fixed penalty notices and cautions is but a small part of the police’s armoury to deal with criminal offences in London. Low Emission Zone Question No: 200 / 2009 Darren Johnson Will you call on the European Commission to refuse the UK Government’s request to extend the deadline for meeting the PM10 and NO2 air quality limit values? Answer from the Mayor: I believe it would be counter productive to call upon the EU to refuse the Government’s request to extend the deadline for meeting PM10 and NO2. This approach will not deliver actual improvements in air quality on the ground. I intend to focus on putting in place measures to achieve genuine reductions rather than political gestures. There are a number of initiatives in place to deal with this issue, such as; encouraging more electric vehicles; ensuring every bus entering the fleet is hybrid by 2012 and investing in hydrogen buses. I have also kept the Low Emission Zone Phase 1 & 2, which has worked well and targets the heaviest polluting vehicles. I met with Lord Hunt last month and we agreed that Defra and GLA officials would work together over the coming months to look at potential measures that could be taken at the local, regional and national level to further reduce PM10 emissions in London. Officers will also look at measures to tackle NO2. 66 Bus Route Question No: 415 / 2009 Roger Evans The 66 Bus Route travels from Leytonstone to Romford and connects five London Underground stations and Romford Rail Station. Will the Mayor ask TfL to investigate extending the 66 Bus Route to a 24 hour service as this would be hugely beneficial to my constituents? Oral Response 4 Civil Service Pensioners Question No: 507 / 2009 John Biggs Do you accept that the majority of public sector employees and former public sector pensioners are far from being ‘fat cats’ and that your comments, given that as Mayor you are an employer, are misconceived? Answer from the Mayor: There is a distinction to be drawn between many talented and hard working public servants, most of whose individual pensions are relatively modest and the total public sector liability, which is unsustainable and needs to be openly debated and addressed. Family Sized Units Question No: 413 / 2009 Andrew Boff To what extent does the mayor think that the demographic shift towards smaller households is as a result of the shortage of family sized properties. Please could the Mayor make available the data used by the LDA in relation to the Barrier Park East development on socially rented demand in Newham that justify the LDA’s position that “The percentage of one and two bedroom units on this scheme reflect local needs”. Oral Response Information on the TfL Website Question No: 470 / 2009 Valerie Shawcross Why is TfL so slow to publish board and committee papers on the TfL website? · Example 1 – 27 Jan 09 Finance Committee Meeting - no documents posted before the meeting - as of today (10 Feb) not one single paper has been posted for this meeting on the TfL site · Example 2 – 10 Feb TfL board meeting - no papers were posted until Fri 6 Feb when the Agenda only was posted to the TfL site – no papers and no reports - as of the date of the meeting the agenda remains the only document posted · Example 3 TfL are also very slow at posting other reports eg the Operational Performance report for Q3 was in today’s Board meeting papers but only Q1 has been put on the TfL web site with Q2 completely missing. Answer from the Mayor: TfL uploads the agenda for the Board meeting the day it is posted to Board Members. For the Board meeting on Tuesday 10 February, this was on Friday 6 February as noted. The papers for the meeting appeared live on the website on the night of the meeting. TfL publishes open Board, Committee and Panel reports on the web as soon as possible after the meeting where they have been considered by Members. In the case of material which is for later 5 consideration by the Board, the material is published after that later meeting. There was a delay in uploading the papers for the 27 January Finance Committee meeting for which TfL apologises. Road Safety Question No: 423 / 2009 Valerie Shawcross What steps are you taking to reduce fatal and serious accidents involving pedestrians on London’s roads? Answer from the Mayor: The numbers of pedestrians killed and seriously injured has reduced from 1,870 in 2000 to 1,292 in 2007 (a 31% decrease). With 109 pedestrians killed in 2007 however, reducing this number further remains a high priority. TfL continues to upgrade its network to provide safer crossings for pedestrians. TfL’s London Road Safety Unit work closely with their Walking & Accessibility team to improve the walking environment for pedestrians in London. With regards to safety, this means providing adequate facilities, such as crossings, which will enable people to make a journey on foot in a direct and safe manner. In addition TfL, through the Local Implementation Plan process, fund borough initiatives to improve pedestrian safety on local roads. TfL will also be updating their Walking Plan alongside my Transport Strategy and there will be more focus on improving urban realm/public spaces and pedestrian safety. There have been a number of critically acclaimed campaigns that aim to improve the safety of pedestrians (e.g.

Devised as an illustrative example of ‘triolectics’, Danish artist and philosopher Asger Jorn conceived of three-sided football in 1962. However, the game remained a purely abstract philosophical exercise until the early 1990s when a group of anarchists, architects and artists decided to play the game for the first time.

  • Submission from RLSB
    Submission from Pro-Active East London Dear Mr Berry, Thank you for the opportunity to provide a written contribution to the London Assembly’s Economy, Culture and Sport Committee review into how to increase participation of disabled people in sport and physical activity in London. I am the Director of Pro‐Active East London ‐ the East London based County Sport Partnership serving the ten boroughs of East London. Additionally, as part of the Sports Regeneration Framework (SRF) work, I act as the champion for disability sport across the 6 host boroughs and work with colleagues and partner organisations to improve provision for physical activity and sport across the board which includes work directly linked to disabled participants. It is in the role as ‘disability champion’ and Director of Pro‐Active East London that I provide this response. The committee has identified four key questions and for ease I have identified brief bulleted points under each of the questions. 1. What has been done since 2006 to improve the provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners? a. Good progress has been made in the improvement of provision of sport and physical activity to disabled Londoners but we believe that much more can be done to drive improvement. b. The Olympic and Paralympic Games has made a significant difference in raising the profile of Paralympic sports locally and as such, we have seen more evidence of funding being given to disability sports projects and a higher profile of the sports that form part of the Paralympics. c. The increased profile and focus on East London has encouraged many National Governing Bodies (NGBs) who focus on disabled sport (for example Wheelchair Basketball) to work in the locality and as a consequence, has provided significantly more disability sport provision for East Londoners.

Class and sport in Britain, 1850-1939 Matthew Taylor It is difficult to deny the imprint that class made on the development of modern sport in Britain. The idea of a Victorian sporting revolution, involving the invention and codification of new sports and an explosion in the numbers of those playing and watching, is now firmly established. Although we should not forget the continuities that existed between old and new ways of playing, the transformation of sporting culture impacted upon society at all levels.1 The perspective of the first generation of leisure and sport historians was to view much of this transformation through class spectacles. The predominance of socially exclusive clubs and the restrictions of amateur regulations suggested the creation of separate middle-class and working-class sporting spheres. Where it existed, middle-class interest and involvement in workers’ sport was seen to have an instrumental purpose. Sport was promoted to improve or reform the morals of the workers, or else could function as a form of social control, increasing efficiency and productivity in the workplace and shifting the attention from more dangerous political concerns.

  • Tennis in London a Report by the London Assembly’S Economic Development and Planning Committee
    Economic Development and Planning Tennis in London A report by the London Assembly’s Economic Development and Planning Committee January 2005 Tennis in London A report by the London Assembly’s Economic Development and Planning Committee January 2005 copyright Greater London Authority January 2005 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4000 minicom 020 7983 4458 Cover Photograph Junior Programme at Westway © Westway Sports Centre, 2004 ISBN 1 85261 687 3 This document is printed on recycled paper Foreword Earlier this year, the London Assembly’s Culture Sport and Tourism Committee met with Sport England and the LTA to discuss tennis in London. Using the Wimbledon Championships as our starting point, the Committee investigated how this world famous tournament can help to promote tennis at a grass roots level within the capital. We also considered access to tennis courts in London, highlighted projects which encourage young people to get involved in tennis (such as the Westway Tennis centre), and examined how the Mayor, Sport England and the LTA can encourage more Londoners to pick up a racquet. At present, this year’s Wimbledon Championships seem a long way away. However, as this report points out, planning needs to start now if we are to translate the excitement of the annual Wimbledon Championships into greater opportunities for Londoners to get more active. And with support for London’s 2012 Olympic bid building, London needs to demonstrate active encouragement for grassroots participation in tennis. Responsibility for investigating issues associated with sport in London has now passed to the Economic Development and Planning Committee.
