  • Achievements as Commissioner for Transport (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    If you will be indulgent, I just want to say something before I ask my question. When we all came onto the Assembly I think all of us knew that London's transport had years of under-investment and was in a terrific mess. Many of us had looked to New York and the subway and how it had been saved and improved out of recognition, so that when Bob Kiley agreed ' I think it was that way round ' to be TfL's Commissioner, many of us felt it to be an inspired appointment.

  • Junction dangers in Southwark (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004

  • Local Residents (Supplementary) [4]

    The Environment Committee, or rather Graham and I, met TfL the other week and we came up with the issue of how the Mayor's noise and air quality strategies get embedded. It goes back to Tony's question, because the noise strategy states very clearly that you will consult about buses. Although you will consult if it is related to the noise strategy, what does that mean to your toolkit? If it makes a street noisier, what are you going to do about it? You have the consultation and people say it is making their street noisier, so then what?
