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...

Steve O'Connell AM: Yes, I have, Chair. I am happy to eat modestly into my remaining time. Very much we should remember Sarah [Everard] and make the streets safer for women in London. Also, I very much comment on the loss of young men in Croydon, as was referred to by Tony Devenish [AM], an awful weekend, Mr Mayor, for Croydon and young people. I have joined in with Unmesh [Desai AM] and others in seeking increased funding for London police. But I would stress, having said all that, that political leadership is about responsibility. You go to Londoners to...
