Questions for Written Answer Mayor's Question Time Wednesday 29 January 2014 Questions for Written Answer Mayor's Question Time Wednesday 29 January 2014 Report No: 5 Subject: Questions to the Mayor Report of: Executive Director of Secretariat Following the decision made by the Assembly at the December Mayor’s Question Time meeting, all the questions below will be given a written response by Monday, 3 February 2014. CCTV in Metropolitan Police vans Question No: 2014/0048 Jenny Jones How many Metropolitan Police Service vans have yet to be fitted with CCTV cameras? Better Junctions Review Question No: 2014/0049 Jenny Jones Thank you for your answer to my question 2013/4076. Please can you confirm that since the Better Junctions Review was initiated in January 2012 none of the forty major junctions which have been reviewed by stakeholders and the TfL's Design Review Group, have actually been altered despite all of them having been acknowledged to be serious hazards? Please could you explain why no alterations have yet been made? Monthly meetings with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner transparency Question No: 2014/0050 Jenny Jones The notes of the monthly bi-lateral meetings between the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime and the Metropolitan Police Commissioner are published on the Greater London Authority website. In the interest of transparency, will you publish the notes, redacted where necessary, of your monthly meetings with the Metropolitan Police Commissioner? Global Peace and Unity (GPU) Conference at Excel Arena, 23rd-24th November Question No: 2014/0051 Darren Johnson In your response to question 2013/4643 you stated that you did not issue a statement of support for this conference. A statement of support purportedly from the Mayor of London has been on the conference website for several months now. Do you deny that you made this statement and, if so, what action are you taking against the event organisers over their claim that you supported this conference? Southeastern Trains Question No: 2014/0052 Darren Johnson Will you work with Southeastern trains to encourage commuters to take the train for the whole of their journey to help prevent road and car park congestion from building up in and around rail stations (such as Falconwood station in the London Borough of Bexley) when rail commuters decide to drive part of their journey? Exit from Brockley Station Question No: 2014/0053 Darren Johnson Brockley station users have expressed great dissatisfaction that after taking the trouble to listen to community concerns and install ticket barriers at platform level to allow step-free access, TfL are now closing these barriers at 9.00pm each evening. Can you ask TfL to review either its staffing arrangements or its access arrangements to allow continuous step-free access out of the station throughout the evening? Loughborough Junction Question No: 2014/0054 Darren Johnson Given an Overground station at Loughborough Junction would provide a key interchange between the Overground and Thameslink (Sutton branch) and would be the only such interchange in south London, would the Mayor ensure that evaluation of the options for an Overground station here is incorporated into the next TfL business plan? Oxford Street - Highways Authority Question No: 2014/0055 Darren Johnson Thank you for your response to question 2013/3406. As per the Traffic Management Act 2004, Westminster City Council must gain approval from TfL in exercising its role as the highway authority. This was confirmed by the Head of Transport for LB Westminster, in an email to the Secretary of Westminster Living Streets on 13th December 2013. Will you now provide a response to question 2013/3406 with this in mind? Cycle Hire contract Question No: 2014/0056 Darren Johnson Given the termination of the Barclays cycle hire contract, is it now time for TfL to initiate a thorough review of the scheme including sponsorship, contractual arrangements, hire charges and geographical scope in order to ensure London gets the best possible scheme in a way that does not detract from the investment needed for improving cycle safety and infrastructure? Cycling budget Question No: 2014/0057 Darren Johnson Can you confirm that the £913m for cycling started in 2012/13? Will the underspent money carried over from the 2011/12 cycling budget be in addition to this £913m? Involvement of National Standard cycling trainers Question No: 2014/0058 Darren Johnson Will you ensure that National Standard cycle trainers will be involved in the consultation process on improving cycle superhighways and can you give an assurance that those involved in delivering cycle training will be properly represented in the junction review? Cycling under-spending Question No: 2014/0059 Darren Johnson On the 14th January you stated that under-spending on TfL capital projects was a 'fact of life'. Given that you have underspent your cycling budget by around a quarter over the last six years, do you think it would be wise to over-program, so that all the money you have allocated is actually spent? Staffing and delivery of the vision for cycling Question No: 2014/0060 Darren Johnson Your press release of the 6th November announced "over 100 additional designers, engineers and traffic modellers will be sought to help deliver the massively-expanded cycling programme…" However, according to TfL "The posts will not all be new staff to TfL - some headcount will be filled by existing staff who 'roll-off' as projects are completed or internal staff secondments, and will supplemented by additional resource only where necessary." Can you explain how many will actually be new staff? Safe junction program Question No: 2014/0061 Darren Johnson Your answer to my question 2013/4659 did not say what action, if any, you are taking on the remaining 67 junctions not on your list for safer junctions and what the budget will be for these. Can you please answer the question and also explain what action will be taking on these dangerous junctions between now and the end of the 10 year business plan? Bus ridership Question No: 2014/0062 Darren Johnson Can you explain why over a decade of increase in bus ridership has now come to a halt, despite London's population continuing to rise? What is Transport for London's assumption for bus ridership in 2014? Cycle lanes and parking Question No: 2014/0063 Darren Johnson Are you concerned that running a new cycle lane along a main road, next to parking bays will increase the risk of 'car dooring' incidents and possible fatalities as cyclists are flung into the path of fast moving traffic? Would the preference be to move the parking bays out and have the cycle track run behind the parking bays, next to the pavement, with properly designed bus stop bypasses, on the continental model? Cycle Hire Budget Question No: 2014/0064 Darren Johnson Can you explain why the total budget for cycle hire has increased from £75m in the 2011 version of the TfL Business Plan, to £144m in the recent one? Can you provide a breakdown showing how much of this: contract inflation, revised estimates for sponsorship money and revised expansion plans? Cycling budget - superhighways Question No: 2014/0065 Darren Johnson Are you confident that you can spend £100m on cycling superhighways in the final year of your term as Mayor, in order to achieve your stated goal of completing all the superhighways by 2016? Cycling budget - central London cycling grid Question No: 2014/0066 Darren Johnson Are you confident that you can spend over £40m on the central London cycling grid in the final year of your term as Mayor, in order to achieve your stated goal of completing the bulk of the grid by 2016? Cycling budget – safer junctions budget Question No: 2014/0067 Darren Johnson You are spending £14m of your £100m safer junctions budget in the coming year, how many will that complete? Are you confident that you will finish 25 safer junction schemes by the following year and how much will that cost in total? Cycling budget cut (1) Question No: 2014/0068 Darren Johnson Last year you stated that £127m would be spent on cycling in 2014/15 and £145m on cycling in 2015/16. We know that next year's cycling budget has been cut back to £107m, is there a new total for 2015/16? Cycling budget cut (2) Question No: 2014/0069 Darren Johnson In response to the massive lobbying campaign by London's cyclists last year, you promised to increase the 2014/15 budget to £127m, but you are now planning to spend £107m which is even less than you originally planned. How do you explain this broken promise to be more ambitious? TfL's 2012/13 under-spend Question No: 2014/0070 Darren Johnson Can you explain why Transport for London have failed, despite repeated requests since March 2013, to tell me how much they under-spent on the 2012/13 cycling budget? Will you please do so? Cycling budget - Quietways Question No: 2014/0071 Darren Johnson You are spending £10m on Quietways in the coming year, how many Quietway routes will this complete in how many boroughs? Are you aiming to dramatically step up the delivery of Quietways in the following year in order to make full use of the £115m budget? Speed limiters Question No: 2014/0072 Darren Johnson After the successful trials of speed limiters in London in 2009 and the creation of a digital speed map, what have you done to take this initiative forward? What are your future plans for encouraging the uptake of this technology on either public service vehicles and/or privately owned vehicles? New homes bonus (1) Question No: 2014/0073 Darren Johnson Can you provide clarity on when you will finalise arrangements for the LEP's top-slice of the New Homes Bonus, and on the period over which the LEP will spend the money? New homes bonus (2) Question No: 2014/0074 Darren Johnson In your response to the Government's technical consultation, you argued that some boroughs received higher levels of New Homes Bonus funding both because more homes were built in their boundaries, and because they have relatively higher property values.

  • Tristan Fund Buys Historic Holborn Links Estate in London's Midtown for £245 Million
    Tristan Fund Buys Historic Holborn Links Estate in London’s Midtown for £245 million 2 March 2020, London: CCP 5 Long Life (CCP 5 LL), the core-plus perpetual fund advised by Tristan Capital Partners, and Cording Real Estate Group, have acquired the Holborn Links Estate (The Estate) in Central London for a total investment of £245 million (€293 million) from LabTech Investments Limited. Located between the City and London’s West End, the 2.5-acre freehold estate comprises 32 individual assets over 253,715 sq. ft. of leasable space. The Estate is currently home to 50 different tenants across a broad range of sectors and also includes a number of Grade II listed buildings of historical importance, the most prominent of which is Sicilian Avenue. Nicho Jenkins, Managing Director at Tristan, said: “The Holborn Links Estate has huge potential. Our focus will be on repositioning the entire offer to create a high quality user experience in a cohesive and carefully curated environment. That investment should allow us to benefit from burgeoning demand for office and retail space in Midtown, at a time when vacancy rates are low and there is a limited development pipeline.” The Estate is located in the heart of Bloomsbury, one of London’s most vibrant submarkets which is home to world famous institutions including University College London (UCL), London School of Economics (LSE), Great Ormond Street Hospital and The British Museum. The Estate is located close to two Crossrail stations on the Elizabeth line, Tottenham Court Road and Farringdon, both of which are due to open at the end of this year and is a short walk from Holborn tube station, which is currently undergoing major refurbishment works.
