Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

Just in case Londoners watching this think that London Fire Service is always locked in disputes about things, I think other answers and briefings we have seen show that there has been massive development of work practices and cooperation, for example, community fire safety work, which I think all Londoners would welcome. This does look like an impending dispute and I am wondering how you see it evolving and being managed and, without carrying your negotiations on in public, what you see as being the bottom line, the problems, the challenges that we face in addressing those?

Will TfL work with the boroughs and follow the advice of the Department for Transport to define and establish a 'road hierarchy' so that the character of each road can be developed to best suit the functions it has to fulfill - providing safer walking and cycling routes, and keeping cars from 'rat-running'? .

Just going on a bit from what Jenny (Jones) was talking about. I just wanted to say that if we were to issue gold stars from the Environment Committee and maybe it should be green stars, then LFEPA does get a bit more in terms of delivering through responding to the environment agenda but also being able to quantify and put very clear markers down where you think you have the gold stars and where you think you know where you are in the process. I wanted to say that there is clear engagement on the environmental agenda, which is...
