    Will the cost of the New Bus for London push up bus fares?
  • Bow Roundabout - transparency

    • Reference: 2012/0005
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    At which meeting (including date) was the decision taken not to go ahead in 2010 with the safety improvements at Bow Roundabout recommended in the Jacobs report, and what part did your transport adviser at that date play in the decision making process?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Can you understand Londoners' frustrations? People expect you to take time off as Mayor, but when there are so many problems on the Tube that commuters face and they see you off on promotional book tours in the United States and so on, can you understand Londoners' frustration with you?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I have a question to the Mayor. Had you perhaps underestimated how difficult it would be running the Tube network?
  • Bow Roundabout - transparency (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    No, I am concerned about the Bow Roundabout aspect. I know about the Newham problem and it is a problem. The reason I keep asking these questions - and I have had endless questions to you and lots of Freedom of Information requests of TfL - is because these decisions, especially when they result in the deaths of road users, in this instance two deaths in just over a month of cyclists, these decisions have to be accountable. They have to be transparent.
  • Bow Roundabout - transparency (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Thank you very much for that. We will pick that answer over later. Thank you. The thing is I have a list here of lots and lots of meetings that happened between your advisor and officers and other meetings as well, but we still cannot see where exactly the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were rejected because the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were for a much safer system for cyclists. So at some point you are suggesting that your TfL director of surface whatever was the person who rejected that Jacobs Report and decided to go with the less...
  • Concern (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    How many will there be?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I would like to say right up front I am not trying to score any points here, I would just like some progress. I am well aware that my name is on this list of people who have flown on behalf of the Mayor. What weight is given in the planning for whether or not to take trains rather than planes? It is clear that, for example, two people at least have gone to MIPIM [international property event] in Cannes this week, and the LDA automatically booked a flight because apparently you have to book a long way ahead. So...
  • Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I have one more question if you do not mind. I suppose what I would like to see is some really positive and clear climate change advantage from each trip; if you are going to fly, then get some real advantage from it. That is the sort of offsetting that I could accept. Are you concerned at the fact that flights by GLA people have increased more than threefold since 2001, because this does not fit with the Climate Change Action Plan? Are you going to reconsider this policy?
  • Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    I do understand the rationale for what you are doing. However, if you have this cheaper oil it takes the pressure off in a way from looking for other alternatives, whether it is LPG or bio fuels, and this could actually slow down real progress on climate change adaptation.
