Next year the Woodford depot will be closing which accounts for one third of all London Dial a Ride completed trips. I also understand that TfL has a site in Beckton which runs alongside the A13. Is there a date when this depot will be operational? Are there any plans to merge other depots into this larger new location? Please also address concerns that exist around rush hour gridlock on the A13. What assessment has been made on early and late trips and how will they be handled in future?

I understand that RAF Northolt re-opened to commercial flights on 11 th November 2019 following a £23 million renovation, with London City Airport now running commercial flights from RAF Northolt through its Premier Passenger Service. This is being marketed to luxury flyers as “London’s VIP Airport” and with its website showing an Airbus A330, with capacity for 335 passengers and a Boeing 747, which can carry up to 660 passengers. Have you or TfL been consulted by the Ministry of Defence over these developments?

According to a recent poll by the Regional Business Airports Group, 68% of local residents in Uxbridge were unaware of the re-opening of RAF Northolt to commercial flights on the 11 th November 2019. In July 2017, in answer to Mayoral Question 2017/2827, you informed me that you would “ensure that no changes occur at RAF Northolt without the consent of local communities.” In light of this can you confirm that you will raise local residents’ concerns with the Government?

Although I welcome initiatives to track down suspected criminals in the capital. I was disappointed to recently see a van with an electronic photo display of criminal suspects sitting idly on the pavement outside London Bridge Station with its engine running. Do you share my concern about the environmental impact of this, and what action will you take to ensure that the Met take into account the impact on the environment of their operations?
