Do you agree that the prospect of the closure of the facility next spring provides a real risk in terms of damaging our bid or our reputation? Do you look to the various members of the GLA family to be supportive in trying to resolve this rather knotty problem? I will ask a second question, if it does not get in the way of others. You mentioned the remoteness of Crystal Palace. Does this then mean that the area I represent of Croydon and Sutton is regarded as being a place that is remote from the Olympic process? Does that...

I made the mistake of asking two questions at one time. My first question, in terms of looking to the GLA family to be supportive, and maybe make some intervention, what degree of risk do you see for our Olympic bid if Crystal Palace closes in March next year?

Just one quick point. There is an arena potentially being built in Croydon that provides one place for sports facilities, and we have many lovely hills which are good for cyclists to tackle.

I could not find the cheap fares summer promotion in connection with the Totally London campaign on the TfL website. I would like to ask what degree of co-ordination there was in giving good notice of this cheap fare promotion and indeed what information was provided in a timely fashion to bus companies about the cheap fare promotion.

On 15 May this year, the Caterham-bound 407 bus broke down at the West Croydon end of Tamworth Road. Trams were unable to get past as a result. Could you advise as to how many times tram operations have had to be suspended owing to vehicles being unable to be moved from the tram lines.

Early last Autumn I posed a question to the Mayor about "the public scandal of those who live close to the Tramlink being provided with no compensation whatsoever for disturbance or loss of value to their properties." He very kindly responded that TfL had completed its legal review of the situation and was now satisfied that the Land Compensation Act did apply. The Mayor advised that TfL was in the process of agreeing on a strategy for handling the 1,500 claims received and that those that were substantiated would be settled as quickly as possible. But eight months on little...

Special methods were employed to minimise the vibration effects of the introduction of the tram outside Croydon's historic Almshouses at the junction of George Street and North End. With the very significant vibration that is being encountered by residents and the public house in Addiscombe Road, do you feel that it would be appropriate for some public money to be spent to re-lay part of the tram line system in Addiscombe Road where the track runs on road with the same degree of special foundations that have limited the amount of vibration from the tram at the Almshouses site? .

During a meeting between the Mayor, TfL, concerned residents and myself on 6 November 2002 to discuss implementation of the proposed A22 Godstone Road red route, a representative of TfL confirmed verbally that TfL would install two speed cameras on the Kenley stretch of the A22: one to be situated near Kenley police station and the other on the borders between Whyteleafe and Kenley. The Mayor also verbally confirmed this decision at the same meeting. The reason for such an installation is that traffic tends to travel along this stretch of the A22 at speeds in excess of 50mph although...
