  • Listing of Fire Stations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    It sounds as though it is a major constraint on the modernisation of the service. I am just wondering if you have done any lobbying with the relevant parties because it has always been the impression that I have had, with English Heritage certainly, that they have the listing without the financial responsibilities and it is something they need to be more receptive to.

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    That is very encouraging, because at the time, certainly from our side, we said we believed it would have this effect but if it proved not to, we were prepared to come back and reconsider.

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    I am intending to be helpful, in that my question ' whether it was great minds thinking alike or monkeys with typewriters ' is more or less the same as Mike Tuffrey's, and it is the next question on the Order Paper. Sally Hamwee (Chair): Just so we all know where we are, is this a supplementary? John Biggs (AM): It is a supplementary but it might mean we can forgo my question after this one. Obviously there was a lot of heat and light in Tower Hamlets about the loss of the fire engine. Most of my question has...

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    I am perhaps expressing myself badly. I think what I was told by one of my residents was that the reason for the excellent response time on 7 July was in part luck because we had fire officers returning from an earlier incident, which meant they were they returning and free to go straight out. I do not know the truth of that; I am just putting that point to you because it was put to me and I wonder whether that was part of it. My other question to Valerie (Shawcross) is that I hear what you say about...

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    You have that list in front of you with attendance times, which tells us that Westminster is fourth as predicted. Is Havering last as predicted?

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    I am very happy to take that as an undertaking. My final question is, in terms of community fire safety work, I know that the FBU and fire workers have had mixed feelings about their duties in this area and it has been challenging to get the responses and figures up. Do you feel that enough training and confidence has been developed in the workforce to reach out into the hardest parts of the community? For example I see people standing outside supermarkets with information leaflets but you do not know whether they are going into some of the more...

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    I look forward to having those figures but if I could just ask one more time ' I am just wondering if that is as good as it always was or whether there has been any change at all. That is what I want to know.

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    It sounds like I was dangerously overly helpful in my question, so I thought I would follow it up with two brief supplementaries. The first is, and obviously I supported this strategy not least because at the other end of my constituency in Barking and Dagenham, they have not such good response times so I am hoping the redeployment will make it a little bit more equitable and safer for people in a whole range of environments across London. In Tower Hamlets, although you could argue it still has the highest response, the best response times and therefore should have...

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    You spoke about there being delays in the receiving boroughs. I know that one of them was Chingford. Can you say why there has been a delay there and when you expect that station to be ready, given that we have raised expectations and said the fire engine is needed there. Should we not have it there as soon as possible?

  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    The location of the Command Support Unit needs to be changed and also the Driver Training Centre, away from Addington. Those are in train to happen. The locations were still not clear at the point we approved the Plan.
