  • Question and Answer Session: London Legacy Development Corporation (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I do not mind which person would like to answer. It might be we start with Lyn and move over to Lord Hendy. The transformation of the Olympic Park and Stratford is something to celebrate. It is fantastic. I want to pick up about transport today, surprise, surprise. Stratford Station is estimated to be the seventh busiest Network Rail station in the UK and one of the busiest stations on the TfL network. It is straining to cope with demand, a fragmented layout and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the middle causing a huge bottleneck...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am going to talk about something completely different now, although obviously I could talk about Crossrail all morning. As part of London’s recovery, we need to take significant steps to improve the sustainability of transport, particularly in outer London. Mobility hubs are dedicated spaces where public transport options, such as buses, Tubes, trains, trams, shared hire schemes, car clubs, bike hire, a range of other facilities such as click and collect points, electric vehicle charging stations and a café are collocated to enable sustainable low-carbon journeys and reduce private car use. These schemes have been...

  • Learning losses in schools

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2021
    A new report from the Department for Education shows that learning losses in schools that have many pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds were around 50% higher than those schools with very few pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. How worried are you about this generation of disadvantaged Londoners being left behind?

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2021
    London’s youth unemployment has reached 22%. This is incredibly worrying. What are you doing to reduce this?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My first question is for the Deputy Mayor for Culture. London has over 200 museums and 850 galleries and hosts three of the world’s top 10 galleries and museums. This rich offering is a huge draw to London for tourists from both here in the UK and abroad. I was concerned that the Government’s roadmap has museums and galleries in tier 3, meaning they will not be able to open until 17 May [2021] at the earliest. This is because they are being considered as indoor entertainment venues despite having more in common with public buildings...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: The idea of Assembly Member Qureshi being at the pulse of London is so amazing. We are so thrilled to have him among us. My question is for Councillor Danny Thorpe. It is about the need for a robust safety net for possibly millions of Londoners who are desperate to avoid being trapped in poverty and can see little support coming their way to relieve their hardship. You spoke earlier about a new generation in poverty, and I wondered if you could give us a couple of examples of how the missions of the Recovery Board...

  • Bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond

    • Reference: 2021/0782
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    The bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond Road has been replaced and the new one does not have Countdown. Now that buses to Highbury Corner are 15 minutes apart it is all the more necessary to know if you have just missed one! Could the Mayor confirm when a Countdown will be installed?

  • Policing in supermarkets

    • Reference: 2021/0783
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    Can you tell me how many times Met Police Officers have been called to supermarkets to respond to COVID-19 rule breaking in 1) London Borough of Hackney and 2) London Borough of Islington and 3) London Borough of Waltham Forest?

  • Impact of school closures

    • Reference: 2021/0784
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    In October, the Education Panel recommended that you should inform the Education Panel about ongoing or planned data collection to understand the effect of the COVID-19 school closures on education inequality in London, including the collection of ethnicity data. In your response, you stated that “My team will analyse DfE statistical publications and present London-level comparisons of specific groups. This analysis includes a range of characteristics, including differences in attainment and progress by ethnicity, free school meal eligibility and special educational need status”. What has your monitoring and analysis of this data revealed about the effect of COVID-19 school closures...
