  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. Enver, if I can begin with you, I have met recently also with the Joint Council for Welfare of Immigrants. I also went to a protest recently with Reclaim the Sea and spoke to lots of people with lived experience of the system. Something that came up over and over again that you have echoed today is the barrier of not speaking English. In fact, recent census data shows that 303,000 Londoners do not speak English well and 52,000 Londoners do not speak English at all. Page 32 You...

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you. Lyn, if I can direct my questions to you, these are about culture and creativity. Hackney Wick and Fish Island were used as case studies, particularly in your Local Plan 2020-2036, highlighting them as a Creative Enterprise Zone. It strikes me that a lot of this was about redistributing existing space. What is being done to create new space, particularly for small creative artists?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. We are in a climate crisis and we know that the solutions to the cost of living crisis, the energy crisis and the climate crisis are the same solutions. One of the biggest ones at the moment is that we need to insulate homes, so I want to ask you about your green jobs. Citizens UK has been in touch with me. In April 2021 it wrote to the Mayor to ask for an annual report on green jobs, particularly around insulating homes. Will we be getting those regular reports?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Jules, as Deputy Mayor, I want to ask you a few questions about people seeking asylum. It is something you mentioned in your introductory remarks. First of all, just to applaud, really, that this is an important part of the work of the AEB. Now, I know that there has been a lot of focus on improving coordination of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL). Could I ask what other types of course that you are looking to do, or are doing, for people seeking asylum?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Good afternoon to you both. I would like to direct my questions to the Mayor. I would like to ask you about renewable energy. In 2019, we received a written answer that said that TfL were only using 200 megawatt hours per year of renewable energy. Now, that is 0.01% which is attributable to renewable sources. That figure is embarrassingly low. When you were challenged about this by my colleagues you did concede and you said, “You are right; we have to do much better[...] We do not want to wait until the mid-2020s”. Well, it is...

    • Meeting date: 16 March 2016
    When Tower Bridge is closed for maintenance for an extended period later this year, will you work with the Corporation to examine options to make the bridge more cyclist friendly by including a segregated cycle path and/or removal of the guard rails?

  • East-West Cycle Superhighway

    • Meeting date: 16 March 2016
    How will the new East-West Cycle Superhighway connect safely with CS3? When will the link be completed?

  • Electrification of the Barking - Gospel Oak Rail Route

    • Reference: 2016/1101
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2016
    As the railway between Barking, Woodgrange Park and Forest Gate Junction is already electrified and will remain open while the rest of the route is closed for electrification, will London Overground continue to operate trains between Barking (platforms 1, 7 or 8) and Woodgrange Park where turn back facilities are already provided?

  • Electric Trains for Barking - Gospel Oak Service

    • Reference: 2016/1102
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2016
    Could the Mayor please explain why it not viable to lease electric trains to fill the gap between the completion of the electrification and platform extension projects in mid 2017 and the arrival in passenger service of the new Class710 electric trains in April 2018? Class315 electric trains on TfL Rail duties will be replaced by new Crossrail Class345 trains from early 2017 and the Class315 trains are not currently designated for any further use. Could not the lease of ten of these Class315 trains be extended for 10-12 months to enable them to be transferred to the electrified Barkng...
