  • Community Fire Safety Work (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Am I right in saying that the target for the percentage of time spent on community fire safety at station level has risen from 6 per cent to 8 per cent? Looking at the actual performance last year, over a third of our stations exceeded 10 per cent and one of them, Sutton, according to the figures, spent 25 per cent of their time on community fire safety. Is not 8 per cent really too low as a target, therefore, and should we not be getting the average a lot higher?

    If some can achieve above 20 per cent, can we not encourage the others too?
  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [1]

    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    Okay, if I can just take it in stages. In terms of the progress, and clearly there is time involved, but we are on course to get all 10 relocated by March 2006 as per the plan, I hope.

    Moving on indeed to the response times themselves, I think that we have new indicators here, particularly in relation to the second fire engine. Previously we were monitoring this in terms of the percentage of incidents at which attendance times met national standards of fire cover, where London was performing less well than some of the other Metropolitan Authorities. I think we have now got two new indicators and on the second fire engine point, the target is to respond within eight minutes on 75% of occasions. That is the key one, I think I am right in saying, on...
  • London Fire Safety Plan (Supplementary) [6]

    Those are London-wide targets. Overall, there is a net improvement, which is why we were very much in favour of this. However, clearly there are local variations and the concerns that were expressed last March were particularly that, while crudely outer London would benefit and needed to benefit, inner London would somehow lose out. Can you tell us how the response times for the second appliances are working out within those areas where there was concern that the loss of a second appliance would hit them.
  • Infrastructure in the Thames Gateway (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    A small point, returning to this question of the utilities infrastructure and whether you are in this rich mix of cooks and broths and magic wands talking to the regulators, Ofcom, Ofgem and all the other `ofs', because in the old days the utilities, the phone, gas and electricity companies would have been able to put the infrastructure in ahead of demand. Now they are working on a private model they can only put the investment in if there is a sure payback, unless the regulators tell them they have to do that. So are the regulators part of this?

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    I saw that the LDA was putting a grant into some electricity substation, I cannot remember the details, and I thought `why is the LDA paying for electricity infrastructure?'

    As long as the money is coming back, because they are going to make money using it.
  • Regeneration/Environment (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    I am pleased with what you said about the registering of volunteers. I know that New York and some of the continental bids are perhaps a little ahead of us, so it is good to know where we are catching up. I wanted to press you a little harder. At the beginning you talked about getting the balance right between a winning bid and a bid that spreads the benefits around London and so forth. I am optimistic that is not a question of trading one off against the other. You said that part of the winning was about involving...
