  • Providing land for smaller builders

    • Reference: 2016/0088
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 20 January 2016
    The Government has announced it will parcel large publicly owned sites into smaller plots, to 'directly commission small and up-and-coming companies to build thousands of new homes', including at Old Oak Common. Following this, will you review your approach through the London Land Commission to provide similar opportunities for smaller builders on other publicly owned land across London?
  • Economic case for night tube

    • Reference: 2016/0092
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 20 January 2016
    The TfL-commissioned report 'Impact of the Night Tube on London's Night-Time Economy' draws conclusions based on data from a Bus Survey Analytical Report completed eight years ago, and relies on data on taxi and private hire use that pre-dates recent significant changes in that sector. Given that introducing the night tube has proven harder than you expected, shouldn't you commission new research using current data so that any assertions made about the importance of all night running is supported by evidence?

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2014

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2014

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2014
    Despite being highly rated by its patients, this practice is threatened with closure due to NHS budget cuts. 1500 patients would be obliged to seek alternative services and the local community would lose a valuable resource if the closure goes ahead. Will you make representations against the closure of this practice, on behalf of local residents?

What are you doing as part of the Tech City initiative to redress these issues and ensure it benefits local people?
