Will you accept that there are serious concerns about this development in South Camden, in Somers Town and Bloomsbury, and other areas that the proposal passes through?

I have received a number of complaints about the loud vibrations that the 210 bus causes at night, from the residents of Highfield Avenue. Will you undertake to investigate this as a matter of urgency?

What are TfL's intentions with regard to the bus stops on Falloden Way, given that you changed the layout against the advice of the London Borough of Barnet and the wishes of local residents, and have now taken them out of service for safety reasons? Will you now accept that the original decision was wrong?

A large number of residents who live on the Vale, Barnet have complained to me about the noise and congestion caused by an excessive number of buses that run through the Vale and the surrounding residential roads. Given such widespread opposition among local residents, will you undertake to seriously consider re-routing these buses?
