• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. A question to the Mayor. One of the options for Londoners who cannot afford the rise in the ULEZ, the expansion, is to join car clubs, especially in outer London where cars are still quite heavily used. Are we doing enough to promote this kind of activity? Are you working on that?

• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Caroline Russell AM: Mr Mayor, I want to focus on the challenge of Vision Zero. Up to the end of July, sadly, 34 people have died on London’s roads this year. In this last month, two deaths have stood out in the media: Dr Marta Krawiec, a 41-year-old children’s doctor, who died at Holborn as she cycled to work, and Melissa Burr, who was 32 and died walking at Victoria Bus Station. Knowing the names of people who have lost their lives on London’s roads reminds us that this is not about statistics, but people and their friends, their families...

Marina Ahmad AM: Mr Mayor, a question for you. London generates almost a quarter of the UK’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Inadequate government support would compromise the UK’s economic recovery from COVID-19 as under-investment would consign Londoners to a future of crumbling infrastructure, disrupted emergency services, and travelling around through outdated stations on old and unreliable trains prone to breaking down. TfL ridership numbers in London remain lower than pre-pandemic, impacting not only on TfL’s finances, but those businesses in the centre of London. It would be a devastating impact at a time when recovery from COVID-19 is crucial for...

• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. We are talking about the recovery, and one of the threats particularly hanging over outer London of that recovery is the Greater London boundary charge, which I know we have discussed before. The next phase in that project is the feasibility study. I believe you said in February [2021] in answer to a question from Assembly Member Bacon that we would be hearing back later in the year. That is quite a vague timeline. When can we expect to see the results of that feasibility study?
