Do you accept that, given its lack of London Underground stations, London Overground stations, DLR stations, tram stops or Crossrail stations, there is no London borough more deserving of transport improvements than Sutton?

Currently there is no facility provided in Croydon for replacing defective Oyster cards. In order to obtain a new Oyster card and for their old card balance to be transferred, TfL customers are forced to undertake a journey of two hours (at a cost of up to £4.00) to an underground station located either in central London, Tooting, Morden or Brixton. Despite TfL having been lobbied for the past two years to set up an exchange Oyster facility at the Tramlink shop in Croydon, this has not materialised. May I therefore seek your assurance, Mr Mayor, that you will arrange...

Mr Mayor, you recently took an optimistic position that a Tramlink extension to Crystal Palace would be delivered. Do you still hold that view and if not, why not?

Given the overwhelming support of the Sutton public for a Tram Extension to their Town, will you instruct TfL to work with the Council to prioritise this?

Do you agree that there is significant potential to build thousands of new homes across London on small disused spaces, as well as the opportunity to give an important boost to self-builders?

Under the new system of Police and Crime Commissioners, the Met has reduced waste while increasing officer numbers and ensuring that crimes of importance to Londoners reduce significantly. Does the Mayor agree that the Local Government Innovation Taskforce's plans to scrap elected Police Commissioners and replace them with boards of local authority leaders would be bad for democratic oversight of policing and would weaken the role of the elected Mayor of London?

Further to our discussion at the budget meeting, could you please let me know what progress has been made towards developing round three of the Outer London Fund, and what opportunities there will be for organisations to access funding to develop empty garage sites as small enterprises?

Residents of Courtwood Lane in Forestdale have long been plagued by anti-social behaviour perpetrated by bus drivers at the T31 bus stand. (The unnecessary running and revving of bus engines at anti-social hours, drivers talking loudly, bus panic alarms being set off and drivers urinating in woods close to local residents' homes). Despite long-standing discussion with TfL, TfL have refused to move the bus stand; however in view of the isolated location, do you think it acceptable that bus drivers are forced to use the woods and would TfL agree to install toilet facilities at the bus stand?

I refer to the T31 bus route, running daily from 4.30a.m. to 1.00a.m. and for the reasons outlined in my previous question causes a great deal of disturbance and distress to the residents of Courtwood Lane in Forestdale. Anecdotal evidence suggests that buses running from 10.00p.m. are empty so I would be pleased to learn what the rationale is for running buses through the night and how this can be cost effective. Would TfL agree to a commission a passenger loading survey for the route?
