  • Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I was pleased to see that [The Rt Hon] Suella Braverman [MP] was finally replaced as Home Secretary after the awful events last weekend. Do you agree with me that those in public office that considered her an “ideal Home Secretary” should retract their comments given that the former Home Secretary’s actions to stoke tensions in our city had serious consequences for Londoners and our police officers?

  • Crime Rates (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. Mr Mayor I was going to ask you about what measures you are taking to prevent youth violence across London this summer. What you said in your opening statement and your letter to the Prime Minister has addressed my concerns. Instead, can I raise the issue of Notting Hill Carnival, which will soon be upon us, and the policing of the carnival? Presumably, police plans are well advanced and ensure that all Londoners enjoy a safe, secure and friendly carnival.

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Mr Mayor, and good afternoon, Commissioner. Commissioner, my question is to you. Can you update the Assembly on what is being done to tackle crime on the transport network?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. My lead-off question is to either Phil [Graham] or Ben [Lucas]. High speed internet access is critical for London’s businesses and residents. However, it has been reported that some parts of London have some of the worse full fibre coverage in the country. What are the reasons for this and how can this be tackled? If you would like to start off, Phil.

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: To you formally, Sir Peter, but maybe Lyn [Garner] might be able to answer this question. The Panel has already been asked questions about community engagement, but I have still got to put this to you. How far does LLDC engage with the local community to ensure that they are benefitting from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Olympic legacy?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. My question is to you, Commissioner. The Mayor very rightly in his opening statement talked about safety being at the heart of everything that TfL does in all aspects of its work. My colleague Assembly Member Hirani has asked you questions about safety across the network but I want to ask you a specific question about safety on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR), which is a London-wide issue although most of the DLR is in my City and East London constituency. Recently, Stephen Timms, the Member of Parliament (MP) for...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning Commissioner and to you, Mr Mayor. If Assembly Member Dr Sahota had not mentioned Crossrail, then I certainly was going to. I went to Whitechapel Station last week for the opening. I have three points about the station. Firstly, it is great, absolutely great; airy, spacious, bright. People, locals, members of the public were taking pictures on their mobiles and so on. Genuinely there was a sense of excitement among so many locals. I know that it was covered worldwide through various media outlets. We saw Crossrail trains going by as well with their trial...

  • Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. My question is to Royal Docks Programme Director Daniel Bridge. How will developments at the Royal Docks bring opportunities for London?

  • Traffic lights at the junction of Wickham Rd, Orchard Ave/Hartland Way

    • Reference: 2007/2666
    • Question by: Andrew Pelling
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2007
    A number of my constituents have raised grave concerns in relation to the traffic lights installed earlier on this year at the junction of Wickham Road/Orchard Avenue/Hartland Way by Shirley Library. My constituents do not understand why the positioning of the lights, when coming from West Wickham and turning right into Orchard Avenue, has been changed. Serious concerns over safety have been raised as, when cars advance forward and are waiting to turn right, drivers are unable to see any traffic lights (as there are now no backing lights in place). Therefore drivers are assuming that it is safe to...
