First I would like to say that I was part of the visit recently to the venue and I thought it was absolutely amazing, so well done to David and John and thank you to Paul for showing us round. That was very generous of your time. That is the nice bit! Now where I think you are failing, Seb and Paul; you mentioned catering.

Will the information provided to people during the current consultation on the East London River Crossing include an assessment of the impacts of extra traffic on air quality and health in East London?

The TfL document on transport growth and the London Plan has a predicted 11% rise in motorised traffic across London by 2016. This is based upon the assumption that the increases in public transport capacity will happen and that if they don't then the result will be more over crowded trains, buses and tubes.

Why are plans to widen the M25 crucial to London's prosperity? Has TfL been pressing for road widening as its contribution to the Orbit Study? Have TfL been slowly slipping back into a road building approach? Do you feel that the proposed large scale investment in laying fresh tarmac in London is preventing investment in traffic reduction measures, such as Safe Routes to School, car sharing, workplace travel plans, travelsmart, etc' .
