Written Answers to Questions Not Answered at Mayor’S Question Time on 16 November 2011 Written Answers to questions not answered at Mayor’s Question Time on 16 November 2011 Time for Action Question No: 3602 / 2011 Joanne McCartney Do you still personally review Time for Action every month? Oral Response Capacity on buses Question No: 3295 / 2011 Caroline Pidgeon Why are you cutting capacity on buses? Oral Response London hub airport Question No: 3413 / 2011 Victoria Borwick The Roskill Commission and John Connell, the founder of the Noise Abatement Society, both suggested an estuary airport decades ago. Indeed the Heath Government started building just such an airport at Maplin Sands in the early 1970s. Can the Mayor tell us why progress has been so slow? Oral Response Operation Connect (1) Question No: 3383 / 2011 Darren Johnson Will Operation Connect be up and running in the 14 selected boroughs well before the Olympics? Oral Response Sharia Law: Question No: 3211 / 2011 Richard Barnbrook Do you know whether Sharia Law is being practiced in London and if so, do you condone its use? Oral Response 8th August in Croydon Question No: 3419 / 2011 Steve O’Connell With the new Met Commissioner reportedly telling MPs that police tactics were wrong on August 8th, what improvements would the Mayor like to see that ensure the riots we saw in Croydon do not happen again. Oral Response London’s Economy Question No: 3468 / 2011 John Biggs Does London’s economy need a Plan B? Oral Response Coordinating LU and Mainline Rail Works Question No: 3436 / 2011 Richard Tracey On successive weekends of 15/16 and 22/23 October both Wimbledon branch of the District line and the mainline railway running through Putney were all closed at the same time. These closures left my residents in Putney virtually cut off from the rest of London for all of both whole weekends. Why were TfL and Network Rail not better coordinated in arranging their engineering works? Oral Response Crime on Transport Question No: 3465 / 2011 Valerie Shawcross In which boroughs has crime increased on the buses? Written response from the Mayor Since my election, bus-related crime has fallen by 28 per cent despite substantial increases in the number of people travelling by bus in the capital, with reductions in all London boroughs. TfL priorities Question No: 3464 / 2011 Brian Coleman Out of the top 100 staff at TfL how many are women?* Oral Response Lynton Crosby Question No: 3466 / 2011 John Biggs How many times have you met with Lynton Crosby at City Hall? Written response from the Mayor Mr Crosby, along with all sorts of people, has met me in City Hall on a very few occasions. As the Monitoring Officers has made clear, my visitors, along with Assembly Members’ visitors, are welcome to meet in City Hall. Anything can be discussed ” including that of a political nature ” as long as GLA resources are not being used to support party political activity. Wasting police resources Question No: 3394 / 2011 Andrew Boff Police are spending a great deal of money that has been allocated to prevent human trafficking on closing non-coercive brothels. Do you agree with me that this is wrong? Oral Response Thames Tunnel Question No: 3334 / 2011 Mike Tuffrey Do you still support Thames Water’s plans for a full-length Tideway Tunnel? Oral Response Westfield Stratford City Sunday Opening Question No: 3406 / 2011 Tony Arbour Since 70% of the Olympic ticket holders will pass through the Westfield Stratford City shopping mall to enter the Olympic Park, does the Mayor think it would be appropriate for Westfield to be allowed to extend its Sunday trading hours so that spectators arriving for Olympic events on Sunday mornings and evenings do not have to walk through a deserted shopping mall where all the shops are closed? Written response from the Mayor I agree that there are benefits to extending Westfield Stratford City’s Sunday trading hours during the Games. However, changes to Sunday trading laws would require Government support. The Government has recently made clear that, following its Red Tap Challenge consultation in which the majority of respondents were against any change to the Sunday trading hours, it doesn’t support such a measure. Whilst the shops in Westfield will be closed on Sunday evenings the restaurants, cinema, bowling alley and casino will all be open to 11pm or beyond. Impact of housing benefit changes Question No: 3356 / 2011 Jenny Jones What are you doing to help boroughs with more affordable housing deal with additional pressure on local services that may arise if people move there from more expensive areas due to cuts to the Local Housing Allowance? Oral Response Military personnel during Olympics Question No: 3428 / 2011 James Cleverly In light of the fact that military personnel have expressed doubts about G4S’s ability to recruit large numbers of security personnel and obtain the necessary clearance in time for the 2012 Games, will the armed forces, either Regular or Reserves, be required during the Olympics? Written response from the Mayor Government, LOCOG and G4S are working together to finalise the requirements for Olympic venue security. Detailed planning is ongoing and on schedule. As is common with all major sporting events, all parties involved will make the best and most appropriate use of all available resources. Rent Question No: 3471 / 2011 Nicky Gavron What was the average percentage increase in Londoners’ rent over the past year in the private rented sector? Oral Response Turning Left at Red Lights Question No: 3414 / 2011 Victoria Borwick Have you had an opportunity to reconsider your answer to question 2419/2010? Written response from the Mayor As I said in response to your question 2419/2011, I would not support any proposal to allow motorised vehicles to turn left at red lights. This is illegal in the UK under national regulations, and would increase the risk of collisions between road traffic and pedestrians. As you know however, I am keen to explore the potential for cyclists to be permitted to turn left, against red traffic signals. There have been similar trials of this in Strasbourg and Bordeaux. Changing the regulations to allow cyclists to turn left against a red signal would require an amendment to Secondary Legislation. TfL would need to demonstrate that it was safe and worthwhile. TfL is discussing with the DfT whether a trial to allow cyclists to turn left at a red traffic signal could be permitted, in order to inform the evidence DfT would need. Titan Project Question No: 3235 / 2011 Dee Doocey How many boys and young men are currently being mentored by Project Titan? Written response from the Mayor This is a 3 year programme, which I am proud to have initiated to help black boys at risk. The aim is to deliver a minimum of 1,000 mentoring relationships over that period. The funding agreement was signed in mid-August and, thanks to the preparatory work we carried out earlier this year, we have over 2,000 volunteers on the books. So I am confident that we will gear up from the 21 boys currently being mentored to achieve the 3 year target. Bus Driver Customer Service Question No: 3456 / 2011 Roger Evans Incidents of poor customer service on the 296 have been brought to my attention. How will drivers be retrained to ensure passengers get the treatment they expect in future? Written response from the Mayor All London Bus drivers already receive thorough and comprehensive training before being allowed to drive a bus and carry passengers. In addition, there is an enhanced programme for all drivers - regardless of previous experience - aimed at raising standards of driving and improving customer service skills. This programme leads to a nationally recognised BTEC qualification and is normally completed within one year of a driver starting employment. TfL monitors the network to ensure that the expected high standard is maintained. Over 7,000 surveys are carried out covertly by independent assessors from the Driving Standards Authority. These surveys provide an objective assessment of the bus driver’s driving, including areas such as braking, acceleration and positioning at bus stops, which are of direct concern to passengers. Furthermore, Mystery Traveller and Customer Satisfaction Surveys assess other aspects of a driver’s ability; and these have shown that service levels have improved considerably in recent years. TfL also produce the ‘Big Red Book’ which provides drivers with a concise and comprehensive guide to TfL policies which might affect them. Two editions of the Book have so far been produced. There are also new EU regulations regarding continued driver training. These stipulate that all bus drivers must undertake continued training while employed as a driver. TfL has agreed with the bus operating companies that, in addition to all other training, all drivers will undertake a day’s refresher training each year for this purpose’ augmenting other existing training programmes. This will ensure that the drivers’ quality of service delivery is maintained, improved and kept fully up to date. In relation to the incidents on route 296, the operator has been reminded of TfL’s customer service requirements and has taken appropriate action with the relevant drivers. These appear to be isolated incidents. Electric capital of Europe? Question No: 3377 / 2011 Darren Johnson Given that the number of purely electric vehicles in London has grown by around 200 a year from the 1,700 you inherited as Mayor in 2008, it will take 490 years to achieve your target of 100,000 vehicles. How will a future Mayor achieve your target more quickly? Written response from the Mayor London already has the highest proportion of electric vehicles in the UK and I am confident that the measures I am putting in place and the availability of increasing numbers and ranges of Electric Vehicles (EVs) will see a step change in the number of EVs in London in the coming years.

  • Healthy Transport Plan
    Healthy Transport Plan UPDATE 2010 As part of its continuing site development and acknowledging its role within the local community, Kingston Hospital NHS Trust (KHT) is updating its Healthy Transport Plan (HTP). The HTP will include the following sections, including a review of the current position and introduction of additional measures. 1. Introduction 2. Objectives and benefits of the travel plan 3. Staff surveys 4. Management and funding arrangements 5. Travel Plan Measures Ø Pedestrians / Walking Ø Way finding Ø Cycling Ø Bus Ø Rail Ø Cars / Vehicles Ø Smarter Working Practices Ø Publicity/ Marketing 6. Targets and Monitoring 7. Conclusion Page 2 1. Introduction . The continuing rise in the number of cars on the roads contributes greatly towards the problems of traffic congestion and environmental pollution. It is estimated that the NHS generates around 5% of all traffic on UK Roads, so the Department of Health obliges all NHS Trusts to develop Travel Plans in order to manage the amount of car trips they generate. Kingston Hospital is the largest employer in the Borough and attracts huge amounts of patient and visitor trips, so it is likely that it contributes significantly to traffic congestion on local roads. KHT therefore has a responsibility to reduce the impact of its transport needs, for the benefit of the environment and the local community. In addition, encouraging active travel choices such as cycling and walking can help to combat health problems caused by lack of exercise, which is particularly important to the Hospital in it’s role as a health care provider. KHT has long term plans to expand the Hospital site and services.
