I have received a letter from the United Neighbourhood Watches of Haringey, expressing their grave concerns on the recent proposal to cut the post of the local Neighbourhood Watch Link Manager. They argue strongly that the Link Manager plays a vital part building and maintaining relationships between local Neighbourhood Watches and between the public and police. What action will you take to ensure the work of Neighbourhood Watches in Haringey, and across London, is appreciated and supported?

The cycle parking standards for new developments included in the draft London Plan, which are utilised by London Boroughs for their core strategies and LIPs, are copied from standards written five years ago. Consequently, these do not take account of either the growth in cycling since they were written or the Mayor's target of a 5% modal share for cycle use by 2026. Are you aware of this shortcoming? If not, what are your plans to rectify this in the London Plan?

The current stipulation in the London Plan for cycle parking standard for new university buildings is one bicycle space for eight students; the standard for business office space is one bike space for 250 square metres. Do you agree that this needs to be revised urgently so that boroughs can ask developers to adopt cycle parking standards in line with, or higher than, your own targets for cycling? Will you instruct your Office to adjust the London Plan accordingly?

I am concerned that any delay to adjust the issue of cycle parking standards in the London Plan, as per my previous questions on this issue, will mean that the revised standards will not be included in borough core strategies and LIPs; this, however, is important to enable them to contribute to your very own targets for cycling growth in the Capital. Please clarify how long it will take for the cycle parking standards for new developments in the London Plan to be revised and approved.

You wrote to me on 10 September in response to my concerns about the ongoing disruptions on the Victoria line. You assured me in your letter that a number of steps were being taken to improve the Victoria Line's reliability. However, Londoners are continuing to experience severe delays and disruptions on the Victoria Line on a daily basis. Why has the situation not improved? What steps have you taken/ are you taking to rectify this?
