I note that you have decided to put aside some £525,000 from the GLA's planning smoothing reserve to commission specialist external consultants to support the preparation and planning of your appeal case at the forthcoming public enquiry. If the public enquiry goes in favour of London City Airport will you admit you were wrong to ignore your own planning officers' advice by directing LB Newham refuse the application?

Do you recognise the inherent injustice where the decision to give the go ahead for the Enderby Wharf Cruise Liner Terminal development - for which you are claiming credit - results in £400,000 for ongoing environmental and improving air quality in one Borough and nothing to support environmental monitoring and air quality development in the immediately neighbouring Borough where they will be equally necessary? How do you explain his failure to take a strategic cross-Borough overview of this application?

I strongly support the use of Lower Thames Street/The Embankment for cycle traffic, with segregation and priority.

The business case and whether this factors in the economic (and social) benefits of a station to a disadvantaged area with considerable housing regeneration and job creation potential. c. The funding Gap d. Options sought to fund it e. Whether TfL support the inclusion of a station and want to see it built. Will it, if not built, be passively provided for, both in terms of land and access...
