  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...
  • 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 & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. Sir John Armitt, I am going to take us back to some of your opening comments around the wider strategic priorities and framework in terms of how we navigate decisions in London for infrastructure projects. To that end I wanted to ask, how should the GLA determine which infrastructure projects in London should be prioritised? Please feel free to draw on your opening remarks and build on them.
  • 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 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 by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Sakina Sheikh AM: It is great to have you here to be reflecting on what has been achieved by the corporations. Myself and my colleagues will be spending the next couple of hours drilling down into some of the details to ensure some of the fantastic things that you have outlined hold tight in their validity, which I am sure they do, but we welcome more detail.I wanted to open something slightly broader and talk about the transition in terms of planning powers. I would like you to outline in as much detail as possible how the LLDC will ensure...
