Will you reconsider the time that TfL allots for consultation on major road changes, and allow more time for consultation, particularly over holiday periods? For example, a proposal by TfL to install a bus lane in Roehampton Lane was given only two weeks consultation period over the Christmas and New Year holidays (from the 22nd December to 5th January) which is just not acceptable for such a sensitive issue.

With the Mayor's insistence that 1 in 3 homes should be for social housing, do you agree that he is rejecting the aspirations of people of all income levels to own their own homes, and that middle income households will lose out in a London divided between people in higher priced homes and those who qualify for subsidised housing? .
