The Mayor told me he has 'asked TfL to work with LLDC to review the traffic modelling options operating the bridges in light of [his] draft transport strategy'. Should the review highlight unacceptable traffic impacts on local people, will the bridge plans be cancelled?

In response to my question 2017/3007 the Mayor revealed that the GLA provided £110m grant in total to Triathlon Homes for affordable homes in the East Village (the former athletes' village).

Darren Johnson AM: I hear what you say about Wormwood Scrubs and the issue of permeability. I do not at all doubt the need to improve permeability. However, surely, this type of thing can be done through sensible negotiations between boroughs. You do not need to include it in the MDC to ensure pathways and gates to public open space, do you?
