  • 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?

  • New Year's Resolution (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: T hank you, Chair. On new year’s resolutions, what will be your relationship or the nature of your relationship with United Airlines in the future?

  • 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 & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you, Chair. If I can turn to Caroline Sheridan from Thames Water, Caroline, the design of homes viz the clever devices that can capture rainwater and use that water, whether it is flushing a loo or watering a garden, and that can really reduce water usage, especially at scale. When we come to an updated London Plan and a new Environment Strategy, can the Mayor do more to reduce the mains water that is used in Londoners’ homes?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good morning, panel. My questions are for Charlie Wood of the Environment Agency. As we are speaking, the news is reporting the horrendous wildfires that are happening in Canada and across North America. People are being asked to wear masks because of the air pollution. We have seen our own wildfires and floods in London, including last year the London Fire Brigade had their worst day in terms of callouts since World War II. Around flooding, you brought forward your own plans for a new Thames Barrier. That means you are going...

  • Question and Answer Session: London's Economic Recovery and Business (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: My question is also for the Deputy Mayor. Deputy Mayor, I am certain that like myself and so many people ‑ in fact, everyone in this room ‑ you have been horrified by the nightly images we have seen on the news and on social media of the invasion of Ukraine, and I hope you will join me in saying loud and clear that refugees are welcome here. That is purely for humanitarian reasons. What I would love you to speak on, though, is what benefits new arrivals can have to London, to lift up our economy.

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is for Richard Burge. Richard, does the Government’s Levelling Up White Paper provide London’s economy and businesses with the support they need to recover from the pandemic?

  • Question and Answer Session: London's Economic Recovery and Business (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Luke, I want to continue the conversation about high streets and I also want to bring it back to a conversation we had earlier about smart, privacy‑friendly, fair road user charging. If we look at high streets, we can look at Waltham Forest with the mini‑Holland. The evidence there is clearly that people spend more than when they are on foot than when they are in cars. In fact, TfL’s own research shows that pedestrians spend 40% more than people driving. Now, there are obviously health benefits, environmental benefits and safety benefits to reducing traffic and making...

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [5]

    • 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 and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David and it is about biodiversity. Could you give us an update on the biodiversity study you have commissioned from the Wildlife Trust for the OPDC and how you plan to maximise biodiversity across the site and in particular - we have talked about flooding earlier - how that can minimise the risk of flooding, too?
