  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. You were asked earlier, by Assembly Member McCartney, about public transport in outer London. Mr Mayor, the frequent closures of the District Line at weekends for essential works causes a lot of inconvenience for residents in my constituency, especially Barking and Dagenham. The information I have had from TfL does not address my concerns, and this has been going on for some years. The frequent closure of Dagenham Heathway because of leaking roofs, and with the recent weather and the rains, means that the station is quite often shut. If we are to encourage...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. My question is to you, Commissioner. The Mayor very rightly in his opening statement talked about safety being at the heart of everything that TfL does in all aspects of its work. My colleague Assembly Member Hirani has asked you questions about safety across the network but I want to ask you a specific question about safety on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which is a London-wide issue although most of the DLR is in my City and East London constituency. Recently, Stephen Timms, the Member of Parliament (MP) for...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning Commissioner and to you, Mr Mayor. If Assembly Member Dr Sahota had not mentioned Crossrail, then I certainly was going to. I went to Whitechapel Station last week for the opening. I have three points about the station. Firstly, it is great, absolutely great; airy, spacious, bright. People, locals, members of the public were taking pictures on their mobiles and so on. Genuinely there was a sense of excitement among so many locals. I know that it was covered worldwide through various media outlets. We saw Crossrail trains going by as well with their trial...

  • Liberal Democrat questions to Chair of MPA on 2002/03 budget (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2002
    I wanted to ask you about the role of consultants at the MPA. We see that there is a budget reduction on external consultants. We also know that there are many hundreds of consultants at the MPA, many of whom we're not quite sure what they're doing; consulting on each other, reviewing each other's reviews and all the rest of these wonderful things consultants get to do. Perhaps you can tell us how the savings are going to be made and are we going to get value for money on their work in the next year?

  • Liberal Democrat questions to Chair of MPA on 2002/03 budget (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2002
    Yes I meant MPS sorry, a slight slip of the tongue. That sounds great, but then are we going to have more consultants to manage the review of consultants? Exactly how is it going to happen and who is it going to be lead by? Where will we end up with the actual results, figures, performance indicators and all the rest of it, so we actually know that we have got the right level of consultants? Obviously I accept there is a need for what they do, but equally I share a concern you have already expressed about what they...
