I welcome your support for the campaign calling for sprinklers to be fitted in all new social housing tower blocks in the lead up to today's anniversary of the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower six months ago. How will your draft London Plan reassure Londoners living in tower blocks that they will have the 'highest standards' of fire safety and will be as safe and protected as possible?

It also shows that patients of black, Asian or mixed ethnic backgrounds reported worse cancer patient experience on 87% of the questions.

I regularly get serious complaints from my constituents and local ward councillors about the state of bridges and underpasses. The complaints relate to the poor upkeep (both in terms of decorative state as well structural conditions / water seepage etc) due to years of neglect by TfL and other operators. These raise very valid concerns about safety, environmental impact and visual appearance of the area. Additionally some of these underpasses/bridges provide access to areas people use for their regular walks. What are TfL's policies for regular (cyclical) repairs and maintenance and how much is TfL able to influence other operators...

There are severe complaints from residents in Willesden Green and Dudden Hill wards (In Brent) about the state of the bridges. Park Avenue / Park Avenue North: There are two bridges carrying the Jubilee/Metropolitan and Chiltern line and there is a third bridge, which is no longer in use as the tracks at each end have been removed. The complaints are about poor lighting under the bridges and the old pigeon netting (over ten years old) has badly deteriorated with the resultant mess Additionally water is seeping down the supporting structural walls which are covered with mould and have deteriorated...

This one relates to the short underpass, that goes under the same railway lines, between Churchill Road / Chapter Road in Willesden Green and Griffen Close / Waterford Way in Dudden Hill. The walls of the underpass are painted black to stop graffiti. But the lighting is poor and is often graffitied over making it darker. This is a well-used pedestrian route but people are deterred using it because of safety concerns. Can you please confirm who is responsible for the upkeep of this underpass - is it TFL or Network Rail? Can you please advise how we can get...

My concerns relate to some poor driving practices I've observed by bus drivers who fail to indicate when they are turning at junctions and also blocking signalled pedestrian crossings, creating obstruction and safety hazards for pedestrians including babies in prams. One example is the junction of Station Road in Harrow served by a number of routes (including 140, 340 and 186 etc). Buses going from the direction of Debenhams on Station Road (Harrow Town Centre) and turning left on the Station Road going towards Harrow Civic Centre travel at some speed and often fail to indicate when turning and then...

A recent World Health Organisation report shows in the UK 9% four and five-year-olds are classed as obese - with the proportion rising to 20 % for 10 to 11-year-olds and it predicts obesity to become the new norm. Trust for London's Child Poverty data shows as a whole, 23% of Year 6 students were obese. This is a higher rate than in England, where 20% of Year 6 students were obese. Both London and England have experienced a slight increase over the last five years (one percentage point). What are your key strategies to tackle London's childhood obesity?

I agree with your description of the budget as 'the most anti-London in a generation'. The Chancellor has failed us on many accounts but I see this as a slap in the face of Londoners due to his failure to announce any new money for affordable housing in London and not providing further funding for London's policing which is under crisis. How do you plan to tackle what is, in my view, this massive blow?

At a recent public meeting organised by the 'Stanmore Society', a renewed and strong call was made for step-free access at this station. As you and Val Shawcross - Deputy Mayor for Transport know, there is a very strong case to deliver lifts at this station. What is required, within the scope of your dedicated funding for step-free access, to fulfil your criteria for an urgent action on part of TfL to deliver genuine step-free access at this station?
