    How many pedestrian and cyclist accidents and fatalities have occurred on the A205 between the Tulse Hill gyratory and the junction with South Croxteth Road over the previous 3 years? What steps are being taken to make this section of road safer?
  • Disabled Drivers and PCNs

    • Reference: 2006/2247
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    I recently became involved with a case whereby a disabled constituent has been subjected to bailiffs threats as a result of two unpaid PCNs (which he disputes). What compassionate policy does TfL operate to prevent the harassment of poverty-stricken disabled, invalidity benefit claimants and why is punitive action being taken against such vulnerable people without any special 'compassionate grounds' appeal system being in place?
  • Diplomatic Evasion of the Congestion Charge

    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    For the Ambassadors of nations where their legal advisers are preventing the payment of the congestion charge by assuming the charge is a tax, could such Diplomats be asked to pay a charitable donation equivalent to their debt which could be used to offset special hardship cases as well as release them from their outstanding obligations? Would this action, if negotiated by TfL and the USA, help reduce the danger of growing anti-American feeling over this issue?

    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    I have been pursuing casework with TfL since May this year about a LAS complaint regarding the yellow box outside their station at 1 New Cross Road. The ambulance staff complain that they are delayed, often by minutes, because of traffic standing illegally inside this yellow box, which is on a red route. So far there has been no follow up or enforcement action taken by TfL. How do you justify TfL's poor casework performance in this instance?
  • TfL Signalling Department

    • Reference: 2006/2250
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 18 November 2006
    TfL Signalling department (DTO) appears to be in overload crisis - with up to one year waiting for the installation of new traffic signals being typical. This is of concern because it dramatically delays the installation of Pelican crossing schemes, which promote pedestrian safety, and I am anxiously awaiting progress on a number of schemes in my constituency. Why has this backlog developed and why does TFL seem to experience more delay and difficulty in carrying out modelling as compared to other signals departments outside London? Is this caused by 'Red') Lack of Resources 'Amber') Management incompetence 'Green') Over zealous...
