I thought the one on [congestion] in particular had some excellent points made.” David Begg, Transport Times and Visiting Professor, Plymouth University "Today, we welcome the findings of the London Assembly Transport Committee into congestion on London's streets. This is an issue that not only affects the productivity of the capital's businesses, but more importantly, the physical and mental health of its residents.” Suzanne Moroney, Institution of Civil Engineers London "This is an important and timely report.

Overall the response to the report has been positive. The Mayor and TfL supported the vast majority of the recommendations and announced plans to implement key proposals.

If not, please visited occasionally and know of people in the explain the reasons and/or evidence which UK. support your view. There was nothing in the Ofcom rules that stated a U.S. citizen could not participate, so I have decided to participate anyway. All content is original research. ---- Localness should never be reduced on local commercial radio stations. There is research to back this up, proven by statistical research from 2008-2014. There is substantial research that proves listeners value local content to some extent, and not just in major circumstances like floods, terrorist attacks, fire, major emergencies. Rather than reducing local-made programming, some radio stations should be, by statutory requirement, have as much local programming and content as necessary. There is substantial evidence from American researchers – 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014 that proved listeners value locality as a major selling point. Unofficial research in 2007 has proved this. No station should be local for only 3 hours a day, whatever the day of week.

An online survey was carried out amongst 1,000 commercial radio listeners aged 16-65 in Great Britain in March 2015 using Ipsos MORI’s online panel. To ensure familiarity with the station asked about, the station had to be one the participant listened to at least once a week (and had listened to for art least 5 minutes in the past week). © Ipsos MORI | Version 1 | Internal Use Only Ipsos MediaCT RadioCentre Music Formats | March 2015 3 Executive Summary When spontaneously asked to describe the type or types of music played on a station they listen to in their own words… 72% of respondents used none of the same terms as the Ofcom music formats. People tend to describe the types of music played on a station they listen to in a wide variety of ways. When asked which of the Ofcom music genre formats describe the music played on a station they listen to, 67% select more than one of the Ofcom music descriptions for their station. Listeners have a broad and varied outlook on the music radio stations are playing. 1 in 3 commercial radio listeners* chose the correct Ofcom description as the one that most accurately describes a station they listen to.
