    34th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 12th September 2019 This is my Thirty-Fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 5th July – 29th August 2019. Executive Summary Cycleway 4 construction to start ahead of schedule On 27 August, I announced that the next section of Cycleway 4 will start ahead of schedule. Once complete, Cycleway 4 will add 10km of segregated cycle route to London’s network – enabling thousands more people to enjoy the benefits of this major new route between Tower Bridge and Greenwich sooner. New pedestrian crossings are set to make the area much easier for people walking to get around. Notting Hill Carnival On Sunday 25 August, I spent the afternoon enjoying the music, magnificent parade costumes and sunshine at Notting Hill Carnival. Currently in its 53rd year, it is a celebration of Caribbean culture, that attracted an estimated 1 million people across the weekend. The event would not have been the success it was without the hard work of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd, the public and the voluntary agencies involved, and I thank them for their dedication. New figures show year of stability for London’s pubs On 24 August, new City Hall research shows the number of pubs in London remained stable between 2017 and 2018 after falling by more than a quarter since 2001 London pubs have been a key part of our capital’s heritage for generations, helping to unite Londoners and acting as a vital hub in the community.

    WESTBROOK PARTNERS Dear Residents, Neighbours and Friends, 15 March 2018 Dolphin Square: The Next 100 Years Frequently Asked Questions and Our Responses As you may be aware, we have submitted a Planning Application to Westminster City Council setting out how we plan to invest in Dolphin Square to rejuvenate it and to secure its future for The Next 100 Years. This application followed a series of meetings with residents, neighbours and other local stakeholders about our Proposals, together with two public exhibitions, in a process which started back in April 2017. Many of you attended our meetings and exhibitions and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part in our consultation, provided feedback and kept in touch. We very much appreciate the contributions to date which will help to shape the future of Dolphin Square. We want to get in touch again to make sure that the residents and neighbours of Dolphin Square are clear about our Proposals and to reaffi rm our reassurances to you. We would like to reiterate that all tenants will have the opportunity to remain as residents of Dolphin Square during construction and after completion of the works, if they wish to, but it is likely that they will need to move fl ats for a period of time during the works (see page 8 for further details). If we are successful with our Planning Application, then we do not expect to start moving residents before 2020. Our current view is that the works will take approximately 5 years to complete. Once we have an approval from the Council, which we expect in the third quarter of this year, we will be able to develop detailed construction management and sequencing plans and talk to you about how the project will affect you individually.
