How worried are you about this generation of disadvantaged Londoners being left behind?

Future of our Police Stations and front counters Question No: 2021/1338 Tony Devenish After 5 years, communities across Kensington and Westminster tell me they still have no certainty on the long term future of our Police Stations and front counters. This drives a very real fear of crime across all three of my Boroughs. Why have these basic property decisions not been made long ago?

Next Steps for Air Quality Improvements in London Question No: 2021/1030 Leonie Cooper Areas of deprivation in London are often those disproportionately affected by poor air quality. You’ve done considerable work to address this public health crisis and clean up London’s dirty air, but you recognise that more work needs to be done.

Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 and Public Safety Question No: 2021/1101 Andrew Dismore Do you agree that evidence at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 is a damning indictment of privatisation, de-regulation and the pursuit of profit over public safety?

Children and Young People’s Play and Recreation Space Question No: 2021/1138 Nicky Gavron You are the first London Mayor to include in your London Plan strong policies on play and informal recreation with space standards of 10 square meters per child and young person. However, given that the new census is happening this weekend, will you be updating the calculator used to assess the number of under 18s in a development to ensure your policies and standards are met and accurately implemented.

Sprinklers as the next step to fire safety Question No: 2021/1179 Navin Shah I acknowledge the new London Plan and the Fire Commissioner/Fire Brigade’s measures to enhance fire safety through the requirement of sprinklers for residential buildings.

ULEZ expansion traffic data (3) Question No: 2021/0991 Caroline Russell Thank you for your answer to my question 2020/1014. Do Transport for London (TfL) have an expectation for the future changes in traffic volumes within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) for both the central and expanded zones?

Have you made representations to Heathrow Airport Limited or the Government about this issue, which risks a rise in local motor traffic?

Heathrow Free Travel Zone (2) Question No: 2021/0998 Caroline Russell The operator of Heathrow Airport has suspended the Heathrow Free Travel Zone and is withdrawing support for local public transport.

Ineffectual shared ownership Question No: 2021/1001 Siân Berry In the findings of your research into intermediate housing, respondents said that they: “felt that shared ownership (SO) is not an effective way to tackle the issue of housing within London. […] it doesn’t get to the root of the problem – a lack of supply of housing which forces up prices and creates a situation in which many people cannot afford to rent, let alone buy.” How will your housing and planning policies change in response to these findings?

London housing data survey and analysis (2) Question No: 2021/1002 Siân Berry In your answer to my question 2020/4314 you told me that your officers have not produced an equivalent analysis on the accessibility of existing homes to that done through the English Housing Survey (EHS) and the detailed data required to do so is not yet available.

Anti-virus air filters Question No: 2021/1011 Caroline Pidgeon I understand that anti-virus air filters are being fitted to every bus on the Brighton and Hove Metrobus fleet. What assessment has TfL undertaken of the use of anti-virus air filters on buses, Trams, the DLR, London Overground and the London Underground?

Removal of cash payments at London Underground stations (1) Question No: 2021/1012 Caroline Pidgeon In a letter to the London Assembly Transport Committee, dated the 24 February 2021, on the subject of the removal of cash payments at London Underground stations it was stated by the Managing Director of London Underground that: “While the coronavirus transmission rate is high and passenger numbers remain low, we will continue to maintain the temporary cashless arrangements already in place at ticket machines on London Underground and DLR stations, and at London Overground, TfL Rail and Emirates Airline ticket offices. This is to protect staff and customers from handling cash.” Has TfL undertaken any research or received any scientific evidence which differs in anyway from the research of the Bank of England, which in its bulletin titled Cash in the time of Covid, published on the 24 November 2020 stated: “In summary, any risk from handling cash should be low.”?

Removal of cash payments at London Underground stations (2) Question No: 2021/1013 Caroline Pidgeon Bank of England research, titled Cash in the time of Covid, published on the 24 November 2020 stated: “A few hours after infection, even at high doses, the levels and therefore associated risk of infection appear low. We also conclude that there is no material difference in the viability of the virus on polymer and paper banknotes.” Does the time lag between cash being placed in ticket machines and then being handled by selective TfL staff mitigate the risks of Covid from cash payments, especially when coupled with the use of Personal Protective Equipment?

London’s poor position of pedestrian deaths from buses on international benchmark Question No: 2021/1014 Caroline Pidgeon The data provided in your response to Question 2020/3828 shows TfL in the bottom half of its World City benchmark for pedestrian deaths from bus collisions and with a higher deaths per km than about 60% of its World City Peers. Does this result further confirm that the World Leading Bus Safety Programme announced on 1 February 2016 has not been given the full priority it deserves? What assurances can you give that London’s international position will improve?

Idling of buses Question No: 2021/1015 Caroline Pidgeon I have received reports that buses are left idling at Camberwell bus garage, with engines often kept running when bus drivers are switching over between shifts. What steps are being taken to ensure that the idling of buses is stopped at this garage and throughout all bus garages in London?

Fire on DLR train at Poplar station Question No: 2021/1016 Caroline Pidgeon Has the investigation into the fire that occurred on a DLR train at Poplar station on the 16 January 2021 been completed? As the initial cause of the fire has been identified as a fault on the shoe that picks up the power, has any assessment been undertaken on this part of other trains throughout the DLR?

The iREPORTit App for Reporting Terrorist Content Online (1) Question No: 2021/1017 Caroline Pidgeon I very much welcome the launch of the iREPORTit app to support Londoners in reporting terrorist content online.

Supporting Disabled People Impacted by Covid-19 into Work Question No: 2021/1020 Caroline Pidgeon A recent report by Inclusion London on disabled people’s experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic in London highlighted the importance of supporting disabled Londoners in getting and keeping good jobs, with good pay and working conditions.

Progress Turning Beddington Farmlands into a Nature Reserve Question No: 2021/1021 Caroline Pidgeon As part of the planning conditions for the Energy Recovery Facility in Sutton, Viridor is required to restore the adjacent landfill site on Beddington Farmlands to a nature reserve by 31 December 2023. There are serious concerns about progress on this commitment. Given the area forms part of the All London Green Grid and is recognised as a significant regional asset in the London Plan, and the planning permission required GLA sign off, will you join Sutton Council in putting pressure on Viridor to ensure they deliver the restoration on time and as promised?

Developments with ‘Affordable’ Housing Question No: 2021/1022 Caroline Pidgeon If a development’s affordable housing provision consists of only ‘intermediate’ forms of affordable housing and no social rented homes, does this affect the amount of funding the development receives from the GLA?

Developments with 36% or More Affordable Housing Question No: 2021/1023 Caroline Pidgeon At present if a developer puts forward proposals with at least 36% affordable housing they do not have to provide a financial viability assessment. Can you clarify whether within this 36%+ of affordable housing developers are required to offer a mix of affordable housing and cannot simply put forward only so-called ‘intermediate’ forms of affordable housing. Do you insist that they must include at least some social rented homes, and if this is not the case, will you consider introducing this as part of the upcoming Affordable Housing Programme?

Housing Associations Buying Back Shared Ownership Shares to Help Those Unable to Sell or Move Because of the Cladding and Fire Safety Scandal Question No: 2021/1024 Caroline Pidgeon Several well-respected individuals within the housing sector have suggested the benefits of a ‘Buy Back’ scheme for shared owners impacted by the cladding and fire safety scandal. Such a scheme would mean the housing associations that sold these properties on a shared ownership basis could buy the shares back from anyone who is struggling and unable to move due to the crisis. Given the number of shared owners impacted by the scandal in London is this something you will work with housing associations to explore?

Step free access Question No: 2021/1025 Caroline Pidgeon Further to the letter, dated the 4 March 2021, sent to the Transport Committee by the Deputy Mayor for Transport, on the subject of the delivery of capital projects and programmes listed in the 2016 Transport for London (TfL) Business Plan, please list by name the 11 London Underground stations that are expected to become step free by the end of 2022.

West Hampstead Overground Station Question No: 2021/1108 Andrew Dismore When planning permission was granted for the improvement of West Hampstead Overground station, the community in NW6 was looking forward to the greater space this would afford pedestrians on the extremely busy and constrained West End Lane bridge. TfL have since said that demolition of the former ticket office would be too costly, but the benefit for this busy interchange and important neighbourhood would be immense. West Hampstead residents regularly report having to step into the congested road, putting all road users at risk including pedestrians themselves and people cycling. Please can TfL agree to a meeting with TfL senior officers, Camden councillors and officers to discuss this further and to fully factor in the great benefit for pedestrians’ and road users’ safety the extra space would confer?

Government cuts to London Question No: 2021/1109 Andrew Dismore Costs are higher in London and this is a challenge that Government itself faces in directly funding the capital. Be it capital city function funding for the police, the, in my view, vindictive cuts to TfL funding or the recent cuts to university funding, do you believe

London is being targeted by the Government for cuts? Is this levelling down London, instead of levelling up the rest of the country, as they promised?

Government cuts to London Universities [2] Question No: 2021/1110 Andrew Dismore Do you agree with Middlesex University, who are calling for a package of measures to support the university sector in London, and if so will you make representations to the Government from measures including: -additional hardship funding and student premium funding, as recommended by the All Party Parliamentary Group for Students report on Tuition and Accommodation Costs during Covid19; -support extended beyond this financial year as accommodation contracts typically run to 31 July, or 31 August for private accommodation, and students also face a long summer of limited opportunities for work to supplement their income due to the ongoing pandemic and economic situation; -schemes for universities to work with suppliers to support ‘educational prices’ for laptops for students; -progress with the Government’s planned sharia-compliant loan scheme for Muslim students as quickly as possible. Many such students and potential students have been unable to earn income to support tuition fees and other costs and risk not being able to continue / access higher education.

In your response you said that the Homes for Londoners Board has called on the Government to review the role and remit of LEASE, that exists to support leaseholders with fire safety issues, and that you will continue to support leaseholders and residents impacted by the building safety crisis and lobby Government for essential change.

Will you commit to organising a similar cladding question time for the thousands of London leaseholders caught up in the cladding scandal in order to bring their concerns directly to Government?

Grenfell Tower Inquiry [1] Question No: 2021/1134 Andrew Dismore As the FBU reports on twitter: “At the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, The manufacturers of Grenfell’s flammable insulation, Kingspan, admitted to wrongly using a failed fire test to claim their products were safe. In 2013, ‘desktop assessments’ were introduced to prove products were safe to be installed on high-rise properties. But these ‘desktop assessments’ aren’t proper tests. They are only assessments that determine how safe a cladding system is *if* tested. Kingspan went onto use an insulation system that had **FAILED** a fire test to produce **29** of these ‘desktop assessments’. The failed fire test was carried out by the once public Building Research Establishment (BRE), the industry regulator that became a profit-seeking private entity in 1997. Video evidence showed flames spread over the 8-metre rig in 43 minutes, a failed result. But, after receiving a complaint from Kingspan, the BRE issued a report which did not make clear the test had failed. This report was used by Kingspan as the basis for 29 ‘desktop assessments’ instead, allowing the company to mislead clients on the safety of its product.” If the inquiry finds that this is an accurate interpretation of what Kingspan did, and how the BRE operates, does this not indicate that the industry regulator is not fit for purpose and should be replaced? Does it also show the folly of privatising regulators?

Grenfell Tower Inquiry [2] Question No: 2021/1135 Andrew Dismore Does there need to be a review into all decisions made by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) into which materials are safe or not given the scandal over approval of flammable insulation? Do you have faith in the approvals granted by the BRE, and if not do you believe it is time to re-establish a public regulator?

Privately owned public green space Question No: 2021/1145 Nicky Gavron There is a vast amount of privately owned green space in London, much of which is there for public amenity, for example, sports fields. However, CPRE London reports that many fields are being deliberately fenced off, stopping pitches from being booked, removing public access and allowing the land to become derelict, with a view to applying for planning permission once five years has passed and Sport England can no longer challenge them. What policy and legal levers are there to challenge private landowners to keep the fields in use for sports, where relevant, and open for public amenity more generally?

Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm (1) Question No: 2021/1199 Peter Whittle I note that on 24 February 2021 Mr Toyin Agbetu - one of your Commissioners for Diversity in the Public Realm resigned, after his blog posts commenting on Jewish people were brought to City Hall’s attention by Jewish News. One of his posts claimed there was an ‘immoral hierarchy of suffering’ which had seen victims of the Holocaust ‘served well by Nazi hunters’ compared to African victims of the slave trade. Agbetu has also claimed that Jews played a leading role in the Atlantic slave trade. In 2007, he also heckled the Queen, during a service at Westminster Abbey to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade, shouting ‘the British are the Nazis.’ All of which, rather begs the question, why did you appoint him in the first place?

Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm (2) Question No: 2021/1200 Peter Whittle Given that your recruitment due diligence failed to uncover the alleged anti-Semitism of one Commission appointee, what else might it have failed to pick up? How can Londoners have confidence in the people you have selected?

Stop and Search Question No: 2021/1201 Peter Whittle On 26 February 2021, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services published its report into the police use of stop and search powers. It raised the prospect of abandoning stop and search for drugs altogether, stating that damage may outweigh the benefits. ‘While suspicions about drugs are stated as the reason in the majority of the half a million stop and searches in England and Wales annually, illicit substances were found on only one in four occasions.’ Does the Metropolitan Police regard one in four as an effective detection rate?

Taxis in London Question No: 2021/1202 David Kurten Given that the black cab taxi fleet has now shrunk to less than 14,000 vehicles and many drivers are struggling to earn a living, let alone buy a new electric wheelchair accessible taxi for more than £60,000, do you think the black cab has a future in London?

Taxis and wheelchair accessibility Question No: 2021/1203 David Kurten Are you aware that less than 0.5% (half a percent) of all private hire vehicles are wheelchair accessible (and most of those are school run mini buses)? What will you do to see that London’s ageing and disabled population can get around if there are no purpose built wheelchair accessible taxis in the future, because they’ve been priced out of the market?

Uber Question No: 2021/1206 David Kurten Uber maintained for a long period of time that the acceptance of private hire bookings by a licensed London PHV Operator acting as agent for drivers would comply with the regulatory regime. Given the recent Appeal Court ruling that Uber drivers are employees, does the mayor believe that Uber have been operating in London outside of the PHV regulatory regime since TfL granted them an Operator Licence in 2012?

Protecting Londoners From ‘Thought Crime’ Policing (1) Question No: 2021/1207 David Kurten With reference to your answer to my question MQ2020/1050, it concerns me that non- crime hate incidents are criminalising people for expressing their opinions within the law and this was not recognised in your answer. For instance, Harry Miller, that Mr Justice Julian Knowles concluded his tweets were: “lawful and that there was not the slightest risk that he would commit a criminal offence by continuing to tweet”. Does the Metropolitan Police Service recognise the fundamental right that people who have expressed opinions within the law should not be criminalised in this way and have non-crime hate incident allegations recorded against them? Ref: https://www.london.gov.uk/questions/2020/1050

Protecting Londoners From ‘Thought Crime’ Policing (2) Question No: 2021/1208 David Kurten In your answer to my question MQ2020/1052, you stated that during the period 2014 to 2019, 9,473 people had non-crime hate incidents recorded against them by the Metropolitan Police Service. How do you expect Londoners to trust or have any credibility in these figures, when the case of Harry Miller revealed that people expressing opinions within the law are been criminalised by having non-crime hate incidents recorded against them? Ref: https://www.london.gov.uk/questions/2020/1052

Protecting Londoners From ‘Thought Crime’ Policing (3) Question No: 2021/1209 David Kurten In the MailOnline article ‘Police log 120,000 ‘hate reports’ – but not ONE is a crime’, 13 February 2021, Harry Miller a former police officer and co-founder of the Fair Cop

campaign group said: “Non-crime hate incident reports do not appear to have any usefulness as a crime prevention tool, but what they do have is a chilling effect on free speech because they make people think twice before saying or posting something on social media in the fear that it could land them with a criminal record. “These reports have allowed the police to become weaponised by woke activists who seek to attack and shut people up if they dare to express any views that they do not agree with.” Do you acknowledge these comments that non-crime hate incidents are being used by activists to silence people they do not agree with? Ref: Police log 120,000 ‘hate reports’ - but not ONE is a crime
