  • Westward Extension of Congestion Charging (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    The point I am making was a question of who is running London now? Will it be the Government or will it be you?

  • Westward Extension of Congestion Charging (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    But one of the questions that I am interested in, and I know Angie (Bray) has got a similar question later on, is: can Transport for London go for the measures that are most cost-effective? One of the things that worries me continually is the huge budgets for these major infrastructure projects. When you look at the work done on the modal shift you can get out of travel planning and marketing, which are my special interest subjects, they actually produce fantastic results in a completely different way. If you look at the TfL budget, it is so geared towards...

  • Westward Extension of Congestion Charging (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    Have you put it to the board in a vote?

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    Was there a vote on that?

  • Westward Extension of Congestion Charging (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    I was not saying money was the object. This is the set-up cost being a very high cost at this moment in time. One of the issues around that is: would you accept that allowing a huge number of residents a 90% discount might risk compromising the success of the central London Congestion Charge?

  • Quality of Service (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    Believe me, I write about twenty letters a day to Peter (Hendy). He writes back; he is very good. We are both working in the same direction. But given that it is not a perfect world and that the training is going to take time, from what you are saying, there are lots of really good bus drivers that have a really hard time. What about other measures, like when someone is lying on the floor, because this happens. A bus driver has driven off and they have been left on the pavement, it is very difficult for people to...

  • Junction dangers in Southwark (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    Lynne Featherstone (AM): I went to the Angel junction with Bridget Fox, who is an executive member on Islington Council. It is one of the most dangerous junctions I have ever seen. Myself and Bridget (Fox) nearly got killed a number of times, which would please everybody no doubt, because there is almost no safe phase when you cross. But the answer from TfL at that point was that everyone knows about the junction; it is well known for being a dangerous junction. But my understanding is that they said there is nothing much they can do about it. I...

  • Congestion Charging (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 14 January 2004
    I am spending an inordinate amount of my time on Radio Shropshire, where one poor guy has received so many demands, never been to London - same old story. Even after selling his car, he continuously gets erroneous penalty notices. He is not alone; I know of a woman in Oxford. He was articulate and a lawyer and threatened legal action. She was a little old lady in Oxford - very vulnerable. It is unacceptable, both in terms of the aggravation and worry you give to vulnerable people and the time taken by almost anyone who tries to deal with...

    And, Mayor, intervene in the system to stop it doing what it keeps doing.
