  • 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 by: Marina Ahmad

    Marina Ahmad AM: Thank you, Chair, and my question is to you, Mr Mayor. As you know, ULEZ-compliant vehicles were available from 2005, 17 years ago. If you do decide to expand the ULEZ, what impact will it have on small businesses that have vehicles that are at least 18/19 years old, and what are the mitigations that you will be putting in place?

  • 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...

    • Question by: Marina Ahmad
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    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...
