  • Abolition of LDA

    • Reference: 2010/4010
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2010
    The Mayor's public draft Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (CCME) Strategy was published on Friday 8th October when clearly your office knew nothing of Government plans for the LDA. As the whole strategy is heavily reliant on LDA activity, it is hard to imagine how you will now implement even a small proportion of the programmes or policies set out in this strategy, so the Government's decision, timing and lack of communication with the Mayor's office must be deeply embarrassing. Now London is to lose the LDA, how will you see to it that London develops its existing geographical and...
  • Thames Estuary Airport Report

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi

    With regard to my question 3672 / 2010 - finalised or not, this report has already gone to the Chancellor. I would like to see whatever draft was deemed suitable for him. Will I have a copy of Sir David King's report on your Thames Estuary Scheme within the next calendar month?
  • London Development Agency

    • Reference: 2010/4109
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2010
    Now the LDA is to be abolished will you still be able to "work with the National Physical Laboratory and National Measurement Office to pursue their goal of setting up a London-based Centre for Carbon Measurement"? Will you still be able to: "ensure that London uses its economic and academic strengths whilst capitalising on its size to create real market demand for low carbon goods and services"? What budget do you now have for this? What budget do you have available to implement proposals for the Green Enterprise District in east London, as mentioned in your Climate Change Mitigation and...
  • Green Fund

    • Reference: 2010/4110
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2010
    Is your Green Fund still viable? How will you now support organisations to reduce CO2 emissions from their existing buildings by retrofitting them with energy efficiency measures? How much funding will you now be putting into Climate Change programmes over the next three financial years?
  • Electric Vehicles and the charging network

    • Reference: 2010/4111
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2010
    TfL has so far spent over £1.3 million on the electric charging network, and yet TfL make no note of how many users have signed up for the scheme. I understand that in Haringey, for example, where £63,000 has already been spent & another £30,000 is committed, that just one user has registered for the 12 charging points. Do you think TfL ought to be keeping a tally of how many users there are as they continue to plough money into this? And currently how do you or TfL know if this is good value for taxpayers' money?

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 December 2010
    During your visit to Zurich, you gave an interview stating that one of the reasons England's bid should succeed was based upon the "significant upgrade to the transport network" between now and 2018. Can you clarify what these significant upgrades comprise of and in light of the unsuccessful bid, will you honour your commitment to Londoner's to complete all of these projects?

    Once the Royal Parks come over to the GLA Group, how do you intend to manage these critical green spaces for London better?
