Response to the Mayor’s Draft Transport Strategy London Councils’ TEC – 12 October 2017 Agenda Item 4, Page 1 Background and response development 1. The draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy was published on 21 June 2017. London Councils has taken care to give opportunities for boroughs to shape the draft response. 2. On 2 March 2017 London Councils held a joint pre-consultation event with TfL for officers and members. 3. An event with the Deputy Mayor, Val Shawcross CBE and Lilli Matson from TfL was arranged for 20 July 2017. This provided an opportunity for members to hear about the draft MTS and discuss key issues. 4. London Councils officers have also attended a number of officer meetings and forums to capture issues that borough officers have raised. These include a workshop for borough officers organised by TfL on the Mayor’s Transport Strategy on 18 July, a LoTAG meeting (London Technical Advisers Group) on 24 July, and a meeting of the London Environment Directors Network (LEDNET) on 4 September. 5. Our response drafting has been assisted by an officer Task and Finish Group which has met twice; once on 6 July and again on 7 September. 6. All borough officers have been invited to comment on three occasions as the draft has developed, between July and September. 7. Members were invited to comment on the draft response between 11 and 25 September. Comments have been incorporated into this final draft response attached at Appendix 1. TEC meeting 12 October 2017 8. Val Shawcross CBE, Deputy Mayor, is attending TEC on 12 October 2017. This will be an opportunity to highlight key issues in response to the draft MTS. 9. Further comments can be provided by TEC members at the meeting, which will be incorporated into the final response. 10. If the changes are substantial, it is suggested that the final response be signed-off for submission by the Chair and Vice-Chairs of TEC. 11. The consultation formally closed on 2 October 2017. London Councils has been granted an extension to enable TEC to discuss the response at its meeting on 12 October. It is however necessary for the response to be submitted as soon as possible after the TEC meeting to ensure borough views are taken into account. Recommendations The Committee is asked to: Note and discuss the report and draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy at Appendix 1; Agree to submit the draft response to the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy as outlined at Appendix 1; Agree that if changes are substantial at the TEC meeting, the Chair and Vice-Chairs will sign-off the response on TEC’s behalf.

Response to the Mayor’s Draft Transport Strategy London Councils’ TEC – 12 October 2017 Agenda Item 4, Page 3 Thursday 12 October 2017 London Councils Draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy DRAFT London Councils response London Councils represents London’s 32 borough councils and the City of London. It is a cross- party organisation that works on behalf of all of its member authorities regardless of political persuasion. Introduction and key themes 1. London Councils represents London’s 32 borough councils and the City of London. It is a cross party organisation that works on behalf of all its member authorities regardless of political persuasion. 2. The 32 London Boroughs and the City of London are the Mayor of London’s and Transport for London’s key delivery partners for the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. Boroughs are responsible for 95 per cent of the highways network, as well as taking a keen interest in the rail, tube, tram and bus services provided to their residents, workers and visitors. This London Councils response sets out a series of issues we want to see reflected in the final Mayor’s Transport Strategy. 3. The key themes of our response are: i. We support the ambition and bold vision, particularly for Healthy Streets; ii. We welcome the recognition that some of the proposals will be easier for some boroughs to deliver than others; iii.
