Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, I welcome the further progress on step-free stations in London that you outlined. However, a recent question to the Department for Transport confirms that level boarding will not be available on Elizabeth Line services at the new Old Oak Common Station, meaning that not all Elizabeth Line stations will provide step-free access. Are you aware of this, Mr Mayor?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. Good morning, Mr Mayor and Commissioner. Congratulations on your appointment. I want to focus my questions today on Tube noise and the impact this is having on residents, day and night, in many parts of London, from south Wimbledon to Kennington to King’s Cross. Rail grinding is one of the very few tools that TfL is currently using to try to reduce noise, but internationally there are many innovations in this field. One metro in China has introduced special sleepers that have a wider base then the top, which is shown to...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My question is to the Mayor. I would like to ask about the recovery from the pandemic, which should include cycling. On 4 August [2021], Dr Marta Krawiec was killed cycling to work at Holborn Gyratory. There have been eight cyclists killed there since 2008; four at the junction of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road. I have seen your recent reply to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals about this where you stated: “TfL has already delivered funding for short-term interim measures and will support Camden to deliver these as quickly as possible.” Can you today provide...

Whilst Wandsworth Borough Council welcomes the increased funding for the London Youth Offer including the LDA contribution, we are concerned that a flawed funding formula (previously used to allocate Positive Activities for Young People funding) has now been applied to the London Youth Offer resulting in smaller Boroughs with less need receiving more funding than Wandsworth (e.g. Kensington and Chelsea). Could the Mayor please explain and clarify this situation

I wonder why it is taking you so long to get your legal advice? There is a little suspicion about your press release about what you are going to do that somehow we will not get this legal advice in time.

I am very glad of your support and I think the Mayor's voice is very important in this sort of thing. One of the issues that I think is how on earth did they make their decisions in London as to which post office would close? Did they just look at a map and one mile as the crow flies? Roger [Evans], my colleague, reiterated last time that there was one of his closures and they had to go across a major road and underneath a tunnel. I think that must be one of the things that we should look...
