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). Residents and local campaigners have said that Triathlon Homes have now increased the rents beyond what they can afford, forcing them to move away. What will you do to ensure that affordable homes in the Olympic park stay affordable?

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...

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?

My mistake. Let's talk about Brazil anyway. Brazil has actually got massive amounts of bio fuel from sugar cane. Why hasn't have some sort of arrangement with them, rather than polluting oil?
