  • Community Fire Safety Work (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Am I right in saying that the target for the percentage of time spent on community fire safety at station level has risen from 6 per cent to 8 per cent? Looking at the actual performance last year, over a third of our stations exceeded 10 per cent and one of them, Sutton, according to the figures, spent 25 per cent of their time on community fire safety. Is not 8 per cent really too low as a target, therefore, and should we not be getting the average a lot higher?

    If some can achieve above 20 per cent, can we not encourage the others too?

    Okay, if I can just take it in stages. In terms of the progress, and clearly there is time involved, but we are on course to get all 10 relocated by March 2006 as per the plan, I hope.

    Moving on indeed to the response times themselves, I think that we have new indicators here, particularly in relation to the second fire engine. Previously we were monitoring this in terms of the percentage of incidents at which attendance times met national standards of fire cover, where London was performing less well than some of the other Metropolitan Authorities. I think we have now got two new indicators and on the second fire engine point, the target is to respond within eight minutes on 75% of occasions. That is the key one, I think I am right in saying, on...
  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    Those are London-wide targets. Overall, there is a net improvement, which is why we were very much in favour of this. However, clearly there are local variations and the concerns that were expressed last March were particularly that, while crudely outer London would benefit and needed to benefit, inner London would somehow lose out. Can you tell us how the response times for the second appliances are working out within those areas where there was concern that the loss of a second appliance would hit them.
  • Zero waste / zero carbon Games (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    .... I would just draw your attention, if you have not already seen it, to the evidence we received from the London Sustainable Development Commission. That is in a letter dated 20 September, where they basically draw attention to the very positive work that is going on, but they do make the point that in relation to legacy aspects, where the full sustainability, as it were, comes to be seen, that further work needs to be done on that. It particularly says, `Should the bid be successful, there needs to be a greater understanding of the sustainability aspects of the...
  • Council tax and the Olympics (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    All the discussion of the finances so far has focused on the cost side. Can I try to focus on the benefits side and ask what will be published as part of the case-making and the building of public support in terms of projections around the economic benefits - jobs, tax revenues, extra visitors, hotels, etc.? There ought to be a very positive economic case for this, and I fear it is not getting out.
