  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Emma Best AM: In 2017, TfL modelling suggested that 135,000 vehicles per day would use the expanded ULEZ and that was the justification for spending £130 million on the expansion. Fast-forward to today - or to November [2021] when we had the last stock of that - and you have 50,000 chargeable vehicles travelling within the expanded zone. That is a little over a third of where the estimated figure came in the forecast. Now, looking ahead to the London-wide expansion, TfL estimates that 87% of vehicles travelling within that zone will be compliant, leaving 13% that are not. There...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Anne Clarke
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Anne Clarke AM: We are not often confused, but thank you, Chair. I am just listening to the Conservatives opposite, and I am astonished to hear them calling you rude. What comes across to me is a clear commitment to clean air and I want to thank you for that, for your commitment to it, because the council ward where I live and where I serve is the poorest in Barnet, which is in outer London. It leads to shortened lifespans. We have the poorest air quality and we lost a disproportionate number of our residents to COVID. Thank you...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you very much. Mr Mayor, in January [2022] I wrote to you and asked what alternatives to diesel fuels are being used in the construction traffic and the construction efforts at the Silvertown Tunnel. You said diesel alternatives were prohibitive in price. Could you share with me why they are prohibitive, the actual costs that were looked into?

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

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to start with Commissioner Byford, if I might. There are quite a lot of us around this room, including me and the Mayor, who talk a lot about a green recovery. Do you think that TfL is doing enough to increase and protect diversity across the whole of its estate and its network?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Sem Moema AM: My question is to Mayor Khan. How are your plans for building homes on TfL land progressing?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Good afternoon to you both. I would like to direct my questions to the Mayor. I would like to ask you about renewable energy. In 2019, we received a written answer that said that TfL were only using 200 megawatt hours per year of renewable energy. Now, that is 0.01% which is attributable to renewable sources. That figure is embarrassingly low. When you were challenged about this by my colleagues you did concede and you said, “You are right; we have to do much better[...] We do not want to wait until the mid-2020s”. Well, it is...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [24]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Nick Rogers AM: Mr Mayor, on page 98 of your Manifesto you promised to deliver a strategy for the suburbs. Could you please write to me outlining the progress you have made with that to date?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Nicholas Rogers AM: This is a question for you, Mr Mayor. As a local example of how the ULEZ expansion could potentially create a new challenge for London, we see the [London] Borough of Richmond [upon Thames]. As you know, the vast majority of that Borough will lie outside of the expanded ULEZ. However, the Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, which is the recycling centre for the entire Borough, will be just inside the expanded ULEZ. Townmead Road is effectively a cul-de-sac. It is just over the South Circular. I am sure you would agree that we want a...

  • 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) [16]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Emma Best AM: Good morning. I want to start with a question to the Mayor in particular regarding the ULEZ. I wanted to open up my question by trying to explain the regional concerns with a quote from Labour’s candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green in the 2019 election. She said: “Whilst we want to do something about air quality, we’ve got the politics wrong. [People say to me] “This is actually unfair,” and I don’t have an answer to them. This is unfair.” One of those great unfairnesses we see regionally in Chingford is where we have very poor...
