  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Fortune
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Peter Fortune AM: Just to say I agree with my colleague about the corporate speak and holistic thought cascades and all that sort of stuff. It does not get us anywhere at all. More seriously and sadly, just reviewing some of the advice from the GTI, there was some pretty brutal advice given from Danny Friedman QC that talked about the Grenfell disaster and some of the response to the fire that was “extreme but foreseeable” and also criticises the service for having “no developed thinking at all”. I know you are a serious man who thinks about this deeply...

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Nick Rogers AM : Thank you, Chair. Just briefly on the subject of the museum, I would highly recommend the little museum that the firefighters at New Malden Station have developed in their mess room. It is quite the collection they have there. To build on some of the points that Assembly Member Hall was making around collocation, Commissioner, you mentioned that you are engaged in regular discussions on this issue. You mentioned Purley and was it Hornchurch? Which was the other one you mentioned, sorry?

  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning to both of our guests. Can I go back to this idea of taking over some of the responsibility for flood risk in London. Do you think, with the level of change that you are currently going through as an organisation, you would be able to do that, you have that capacity and you have enough capacity to pay attention to that very serious job?

  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Anne Clarke
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Anne Clarke AM: Fiona, I would like to come back on something Assembly Member Bailey asked about and I just want to enhance his point around flooding. The LFB is responding more to floods. We saw across London this summer floods, some of them very bad. The LFB was at the forefront of that. On one of my visits to Barnet Fire Station, firefighters said that they felt they needed some training with almost social care because they were taking on responsibilities that were beyond what they had been trained for. They were happy to do it. As people, they...

  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thanks, Fiona and Andy, for what has been a very transparent session so far today. My question to you is whether you could explain to me the capacity the fire department has to respond to planning applications and procedurally how that works for you when those applications come in.

  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Len Duvall AM: If I can just go back over some of the issues, if we set aside some of the challenges in terms of service delivery that you have, we know we have the Government thing and the feds do not really understand us and never really supported some of our services. It does not matter, regardless of political persuasion, there is always that tension. We now have regional politicians and the likes of the Mayor [of London] and Fiona Twycross giving the resources that they can provide to you in terms of the service. In that sense, you...

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about flooding. There are recent issues that I am sure you are aware of that have happened in London. If you were to examine the OPDC website, the most recent information on policies to deal with flooding go back to 2015. Can you provide an update on the development of infrastructure and capacity to deal with flood risk, especially to deal with surface and storm water runoff?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Liz and David. On OPDC, I have lived on both sides of that site. I used to live down the Wood Lane end and then up in Harlesden there and so I have a keen interest. Let me just start with the main question. The original aim of the OPDC was to deliver some 25,500 homes. How many now do you expect to deliver and in what timescale?
