LBH - Cabinet Decisions 18.12.08 Page ii CABINET DECISIONS Cabinet Office The record of decisions of Cabinet held on 20th November 2008 was agreed as correct subject to the following amendment which was approved by the Cabinet: Amendments to Hillingdon Design and Accessibility Statement Supplementary Planning Document: Residential Extensions - Amended paragraph 1.9e of the Appendix of the accompanying report to read as: ‘Roof extensions, other than in the case of hip-to-gable enlargement, are to be set back, as far as practicable, at least 20cm from the eaves.’ 1 MEDIUM TERM FINANCIAL FORECAST 2009/10 – 2012/13 Paul Whaymand, DECISION Finance and Resources That Cabinet: 1. Note and forward the draft revenue budget and capital programme proposals for 2009/10 as the basis for consultation with Policy Overview Committees and other stakeholders. 2. Request the comments of individual Policy Overview Committees on the draft budget proposals relating to their areas of responsibility, to be collated into a single report back to Cabinet from the Corporate Services and Partnerships Policy Overview Committee. 3. Authorise the Corporate Director of Finance and Resources in consultation with the Leader of the Council to respond on behalf of the Council to the consultation on the provisional local government finance settlement and to the Mayor of London’s budget consultation. REASONS FOR DECISION The recommendations have been framed to comply with the Budget and Policy Framework rules, and to allow the presentation to Council of a recommended budget for 2009/10 in February 2009, which takes into account consultation with Policy Overview Committees. They also allow for representations to be made to the Department for Communities and Local Government in relation to the provisional local government finance settlement, and to the Mayor of London in relation to the Greater London Authority’s budget proposals, in accordance with the deadlines for responses of 7 January 2009 and to be confirmed within January 2009 respectively. LBH - Cabinet Decisions 18.12.08 Page iii ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED In order to comply with the Budget and Policy Framework the Cabinet needs to publish a draft budget for consultation at this meeting. The Cabinet could, however, choose to vary the proposals set out in the report, with any amendments reflected in the papers consulted upon with Policy Overview Committees during January 2009. As contained in the section of the report on the Development and Risk Contingency, there are considerable risks and uncertainties around several of the key economic indicators against which the budget is constructed, leaving a total budget gap at this stage of over £4 million remaining to be managed through targeted reductions in pressures and further consideration of provisions for budget risks in contingency. These will be reviewed in detail with a view to presenting a fully balanced budget for 2009/10 that meets the key target parameters to Cabinet in February 2009. The level of this gap is the result of the continuing uncertainty on securing the extra income on Asylum for 2009/10, as well as significant changes in the financial environment for which appropriate management actions are currently being formulated.

  • 4.6 PARKING and LOADING Priority Area for Implementation IV
    4.6 PARKING AND LOADING Priority area for implementation IV: Improving the working of parking and loading arrangements to provide fair, reasonable and effective enforcement of regulations, recognising the needs of business for servicing and delivery as well as other road users, thus contributing to easing congestion and improving access to town centres and regeneration areas. 4.6.1 Hillingdon aims to use parking management to maintain or increase the proportion of personal travel made by means other than the car and to safeguard the needs of local residents. 4.6.2 The strategic management of parking spaces is able to contribute directly to this target as the supply, location; pricing and enforcement of spaces can control uninhibited growth in the use of road vehicles and can encourage more acceptable transport alternatives. The use of parking standards and controls can also regulate traffic generated by new developments. 4.6.3 Hillingdon’s emerging Local Development Framework includes policies to limit the amount of parking space in new developments which will have a long-term effect on traffic levels. Hillingdon’s BTS also contains objectives and policies regarding parking management. These objectives and policies are: • To maintain a parking management service, which discourages car commuting and protects the interests of residents, local business and other local stakeholders. • To manage the street environment so that road traffic does not intrude unnecessarily and residents and other users of public spaces enjoy an attractive and safe environment. • To ensure that Hillingdon parking standards continue to be consistent with current need • To provide adequate space for short-term visitors to town centres, other centres of demand and at residents’ homes • To prohibit parking on the footway except where essential and can be safely provided without causing obstruction to pedestrians, while maintaining a minimum footway width of 1.5m.

  • A Vulnerability-Based Approach to Human-Mobility Reduction for Countering
    A vulnerability-based approach to human-mobility reduction for countering COVID-19 transmission in London while considering local air quality Manu Sasidharan1*+, Ajit Singh2, 3*+, Mehran Eskandari Torbaghan4*, Ajith Kumar Parlikad1 1Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge, CB2 1PZ, United Kingdom 5 2School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. 3Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. 4Department of Civil Engineering, School of Engineering, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, 10 Birmingham, B15 2TT, United Kingdom. *Correspondence to: [email protected] (M.S.); [email protected] (A.S.); [email protected] (M.E.T.) + Equal contribution 15 1 20 Abstract An ecologic analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between air pollution, and COVID- 19 cases and fatality rates in London. The analysis demonstrated a strong correlation (R2>0.7) between increment in air pollution and an increase in the risk of COVID-19 transmission within London boroughs. Particularly, strong correlations (R2>0.72) between the risk of COVID-19 25 fatality and nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter pollution concentrations were found. Although this study assumed the same level of air pollution across a particular London borough, it demonstrates the possibility to employ air pollution as an indicator to rapidly identify the city’s vulnerable regions. Such an approach can inform the decisions to suspend or reduce the operation of different public transport modes within a city. The methodology and learnings from 30 the study can thus aid in public transport’s response to COVID-19 outbreak by adopting different levels of human-mobility reduction strategies based on the vulnerability of a given region.

  • Question and Answer Session – Transport for London
    Appendix 1 Transcript of Agenda Item 4 Question and Answer Session – Transport for London Roger Evans AM (Chairman): Welcome to Boris Johnson, in his role as Chair of the Transport for London (TfL) Board and Sir Peter Hendy CBE, the Commissioner for TfL. 2014/2976 - Bearing Down on Fares Richard Tracey How will Transport for London (TfL) bear down on fares and introduce more flexible ticketing from January 2015? Boris Johnson (Chairman, TfL): Thanks very much, Dick. As you will remember, I was re-elected on a manifesto to bear down on fares across London where that was possible and where that was consistent with investment in transport infrastructure, and that is exactly what we are doing. For the second year running, Londoners will know, we have been able to keep fares across TfL services at an average of the retail price index (RPI) rather than RPI plus 1%. We were able to announce that on Monday, thanks to financial support we will be getting for that measure from the Chancellor. We will make sure, obviously, that we continue to provide Londoners with all the benefits that we fought for and secured and, indeed, extended under this Conservative mayoralty. I would point out: Freedom Passes for everybody over 60 for 24 hours a day; free travel for those who are disabled war veterans and armed services personnel in uniform; extending the bus and tram discounts to people in search of work; introducing concessions for apprentices; and loads of imaginative schemes to help people who need support with the cost of their transport.
