  • ULEZ Expansion Health Impact (11)

    • Reference: 2022/5340
    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    Page 101 of the ‘London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment (ULEZ Scheme IIA)’ states: “As a result of these barriers, the pool of available care workers attending to outer London may shrink, thereby having a knock-on effect on the service users requiring care. Written correspondence received from the Homecare Association during stakeholder engagement stated that, ‘If commissioning rates in London remain lower than the rest of the country (and well below what is needed) this could, consequently, increase the risk that the capacity in the market decreases (either due to financial viability or staff shortages) with knock on impacts decreasing the...

  • ULEZ Expansion Health Impact (12)

    • Reference: 2022/5341
    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    Page 104 of the ‘London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment (ULEZ Scheme IIA)’ states: “The additional cost of the Proposed Scheme – either from paying the charge or for upgrading to a compliant vehicle - for people already struggling financially could have detrimental effects on their mental wellbeing through creating stress and anxiety. There is a growing body of evidence of a link between lower socio-economic status and poor mental health; as set out in the Marmot Review.” What will you do to make sure the expansion of ULEZ does not have a detrimental impact on mental wellbeing?

  • ULEZ Expansion Health Impact (13)

    • Reference: 2022/5342
    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    Page 106 of the ‘London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment (ULEZ Scheme IIA)’ states: “disabled people may experience a disproportionate level of financial hardship as a result of the Proposed Scheme; or instead, choose to stay at home rather than pay the charge, leading to social exclusion and isolation. Being excluded from society due to a lack of available transport could mean that people with disabilities have fewer opportunities to access education and employment opportunities, thereby confounding their susceptibility to poverty.” Will you provide a blanket exemption for all disabled Londoners in order to avoid social exclusion, isolation, lack of education...

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    On 26 November, the Financial Times reported that TfL had banned advertising from Qatar that week. A spokesperson from your office told the Financial Times that you were not involved in day-to-day decisions regarding advertising on London's transport network and appeared to deny that you had made any intervention on this issue that week. You stated in Mayor's Question Time on 17th November that you would look into closing loopholes in the TfL advertising rules that allowed adverts from FIFA promoting Qatar to appear on the TfL network. Can you confirm whether it is still your position that you did...

  • Disabled Taxi Drivers (1)

    • Reference: 2022/5351
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    TfL has no provision, guidance or support for disabled people to undertake the Knowledge of London to train to become a taxi driver. And when a disabled person passes the knowledge, TfL has no provision, guidance or support to assist disabled taxi drivers with the high cost of the wheelchair accessible vehicle, whereby a disabled person with a physical disability could be excluded from picking up wheelchair users, and therefore would not use the wheelchair functionality. What is TfL going to do to ensure that its taxi policy and Knowledge of London policy is inclusive for those taxi drivers with...

  • Disabled Taxi Drivers (2)

    • Reference: 2022/5352
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    How is TfL going to support taxi drivers who cannot work enough hours to cover the high cost of purchasing or renting a wheelchair accessible vehicle, but could work enough hours to cover the cost of a non-wheelchair accessible vehicle, which is about 1/3 of the cost of a wheelchair accessible taxi?

  • Disabled Taxi Drivers (3)

    • Reference: 2022/5353
    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2022
    Do you agree that, if TfL wants a fully wheelchair-compliant fleet of taxis as their policy, then it is discriminatory to burden disabled drivers with a limited capacity to work with such a policy?
