  • Oral update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2023
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Mr Mayor. I am going to raise the Piccadilly line again. Part of the capital that you requested was to complete phase one of the Piccadilly line, which is the 94 new trains that are due to start arriving from 2025. Do we know whether there is sufficient money to ensure that those are on track and will be delivered?

    • Question by: Marina Ahmad

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade. It is good to hear that you have better relations with Government than previously. We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David. We have heard today about the reallocation of sites for housing in the development. I noticed in your local plan modifications consultation schedule that you still say that you are confident that you can achieve that 50% affordable housing target overall, but I want you to confirm that. Also, in that you say that you consider there are a number of ways in which housing needs, particularly affordable housing, can be met within the local plan period. Could you explain in a little bit more detail what those means are and how...

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Marina Ahmad
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Marina Ahmad AM: Mr Mayor, a question for you. London generates almost a quarter of the UK’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Inadequate government support would compromise the UK’s economic recovery from COVID-19 as under-investment would consign Londoners to a future of crumbling infrastructure, disrupted emergency services, and travelling around through outdated stations on old and unreliable trains prone to breaking down. TfL ridership numbers in London remain lower than pre-pandemic, impacting not only on TfL’s finances, but those businesses in the centre of London. It would be a devastating impact at a time when recovery from COVID-19 is crucial for...
