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...

Without wanting to appear a damp squib, I just find it an incredible cheek of you to arrive here and announce to us the `good news' that you have been allowed to borrow £400 million from your Labour Government. If I remember rightly, you used to go round giving great speeches about the glories of the Greater London Council and how it never borrowed but made it all from revenue. Over the last few weeks you have pushed through a budget in low single figures, lower than you have ever done, by raiding the reserves, raiding the underspend and not...

You have not got a good deal then if you have just been allowed to borrow some money. In answer to an earlier question you said that you are now saying, which you never said during the budget process, that you are assuming the Government grant will stay at present levels. During the budget process, when you were challenged about the bus debt of nearly £0.5 billion, and about your public commitments, which I think you said you did not give about underwriting Crossrail and all the rest of it, you said you would be fighting to get extra grant...
