Covid-19 Update The Chair introduced the item informing members that: • the London Councils Pandemic Sub Committee, which had been established following the decision of Leaders’ Committee in October, was meeting weekly; • Elected officers were working closely with the London Local Authority Strategic Co- ordinating arrangements and the Co-ordinating Chief Executive that rotated on a monthly basis; • The twice weekly meetings of the London Leaders Covid-19 Committee, involving the Mayor and the Elected Officers, was considering London’s input into future decisions on the tier of restrictions that would apply to London after the next Government review set for 16 December. This was in addition to the weekly London Councils meetings of all Leaders and Directly Elected Mayors. Members made the following points in response to the report: • the governance arrangements that had been put in place had been effective in helping coordinate activity; • concern was expressed about both the potential economic and health impacts of changes between different tiers of restrictions for London and the difficulty it would represent for imparting clear and consistent messaging to Londoners; • the ‘one London’ approach had been effective, but varying infection rates and the specific economic challenges faced by different parts of London also needed to be kept at the forefront of thinking. The Chair thanked members for their comments and confirmed that economic metrics did need to be considered alongside health indicators.

There was also a recognition that the London narrative would need to be sustained in to 2021 taking account of big issues on the future of Adult Social Care, the Fair Funding Review and the future of Business Rates.

Members also expressed their thanks to Guy Ware, London Councils Director of Local Government Performance and Finance, who was attending his last meeting of Leaders’ Committee before retirement, for his service to London local government. 6. Thrive LDN Mayor Glanville Introduced the report, commenting that: • Thrive LDN continued to provide grass roots support but had also become part of the critical infrastructure of mental health support during the pandemic, and he extended congratulations to the team at Thrive who had achieved this; • many of the resources provided by the organisation had now moved onto digital platforms, which had been promoted by the GLA and London Councils; • Thrive LDN was aware that a digital divide existed, so provided well-being advice by other methods as well; • Thrive LDN had also successfully promoted ‘Good Thinking,’ a digital mental wellbeing service; • insight work had been carried out to look in depth at the psychological impact of the pandemic for isolated young people – the report was soon to be published; • last year Thrive LDN launched a campaign to train 100,000 Londoners in suicide prevention; the target had been exceeded and 130,000 people had now been trained; • Thrive LDN were also working, in partnership with the GLA, boroughs and London Councils, supporting the development of the Mental Health Recovery Mission. Cllr Dombey thanked Mayor Glanville for presenting on the work of Thrive LDN. She also mentioned that one of the nine missions of the London Recovery Board mission related to mental health and well-being, and that one of the ambitions of the mission was that by 2025 London would have identified 250,000 well-being ambassadors. Cllr Dombey also mentioned the recent consultation being carried out via the GLA called ‘Talk London,’ where mental health and well-being emerged as some of the most important issues for Londoners. Mayor Fiaz also mentioned the research being undertaken on the role of kindness and empathy within the Health and Adult Social Care sectors and the Carnegie report into kindness and empathy in NHS Scotland. Leaders’ Committee noted the report. 7a. Pledges to Londoners - Update on Progress in Transport and Environment Mayor Glanville introduced the report in his capacity as Chair of TEC.

Branding the Unbrandable: A Solution to Rebranding the MTA Sydney McGinn Advertising & Integrated Marketing Advised by: Vishal Lala Marketing Department Presentation Date: 10 May 2019 Graduation Date: 23 May 2019 McGinn 1 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to determine why customers have lost trust in the New York City Subway system and how to most optimally communicate to customers in order to regain said trust that has been gradually lost over the past couple of years and to ultimately boost ridership. The New York City Subway system officially opened in 1904 and many components of it today are antiquated and in desperate need of upgrades or repair. Since the Transit Crisis of 2017, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has put a number of plans in place to improve the subway system, yet in the customer’s minds, the damage has been done. Now it is a matter of simultaneously continuing to make improvements while launching a comprehensive rebranding plan to win back the trust of riders.

  • The Operator's Story: Emerging Findings
    Railway and Transport Strategy Centre The Operator’s Story Emerging Findings OECD ITF 2017, Leipzig May 2017 © World Bank / Imperial College London Property of the World Bank and the RTSC at Imperial College London Community of Metros CoMET Acknowledgements Metro Operators are the entities that deliver metro services to the customers who in turn comprise the residents, workforce, and overall human capital of modern cities. They often perform miracles every morning and repeat those again every evening. Their performance impacts on quality of life, access to jobs, and the competitiveness of cities, if not countries. This research has been possible because the 34 Operators that participate in the Community of Metros (CoMET) agreed to help tell the “Operator’s Story.” In particular, 10 Operators provided in-depth insights by hosting the authors for visits and interviews where they shared candid insights. Their intention is to open information to a much wider audience and in so doing to increase understanding of the Operator’s role and the frustrations they often face. The ultimate aim is to increase understanding for what makes metros successful so that government, authorities, planners, financiers, political actors, and indeed Operators themselves can take good decisions that ultimately benefit metro customers and their cities. The Authors would like to acknowledge support for this work that was provided by the Government of Australia and the Government of the United Kingdom whose generous grants made it possible to tell the “Operator’s Story.” This work was conducted upon a request from the Government of India under the supervision and assistance of the Ministry of Urban Development.
