Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. Good morning, Mr Mayor and Commissioner. Congratulations on your appointment. I want to focus my questions today on Tube noise and the impact this is having on residents, day and night, in many parts of London, from south Wimbledon to Kennington to King’s Cross. Rail grinding is one of the very few tools that TfL is currently using to try to reduce noise, but internationally there are many innovations in this field. One metro in China has introduced special sleepers that have a wider base then the top, which is shown to...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. My questions are to you, Mr Mayor. Back in July 2017, I questioned you about your draft MTS; I asked why did it not contain proposals to change the congestion charge, or to bring in road pricing to tackle congestion, and why it did not go further. I said it does not really cover the next generation of road user charging systems, and asked whether we will see that in your final strategy. Then, in September 2017, I am sure you recall, the Transport Committee wrote to you, and encouraged you to...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am going to talk about something completely different now, although obviously I could talk about Crossrail all morning. As part of London’s recovery, we need to take significant steps to improve the sustainability of transport, particularly in outer London. Mobility hubs are dedicated spaces where public transport options, such as buses, Tubes, trains, trams, shared hire schemes, car clubs, bike hire, a range of other facilities such as click and collect points, electric vehicle charging stations and a café are collocated to enable sustainable low-carbon journeys and reduce private car use. These schemes have been...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My question is to the Mayor. I would like to ask about the recovery from the pandemic, which should include cycling. On 4 August [2021], Dr Marta Krawiec was killed cycling to work at Holborn Gyratory. There have been eight cyclists killed there since 2008; four at the junction of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road. I have seen your recent reply to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals about this where you stated: “TfL has already delivered funding for short-term interim measures and will support Camden to deliver these as quickly as possible.” Can you today provide...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, in terms of going further, let us look at the ULEZ. The first phase came in in April last year. It has been a huge success and I really welcome its extension in October 2021, but I do have some questions about how the wider zone is going to operate. Firstly, it is going to go up to but not include the North and South Circular. I am wondering, will you consider revising the border to include the North and South Circulars?

I understand that 43 charging points have been installed for charging electric buses at the Waterloo bus garage on Cornwall Road. Has any assessment been undertaken as to how frequently these charging points are used and whether they could be used for other vehicles such as Taxis at specific times of the day?

There have been media reports of cars being inaccurately charged for entering the Low Emission Zone, such as the report from the Guardian published on the 31 August 2019: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2019/aug/31/i-was-charged-20000-for-d… Please state how many occasions appeals against the Low Emission Zone by car drivers have been successful during 2019. If figures exist please provide a breakdown between UK and EU drivers.
