    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    As the Mayor will know, by 2016 - as a result of reductions in central funding - The Royal Parks may be required to generate 75% of its own income. Would the Mayor agree with me that a London-wide public debate in 2015 might help The Royal Parks to meet the challenge of finding ways of generating about £20 million or more a year so that, with robust and resilient income streams, we can continue to conserve and enhance the natural and built environment, and to respect and enrich the historic landscape and biodiversity of our world-renowned Royal Parks, for...

    As you may be aware, I am a firm advocate of supporting our homeless veterans, and the Mayor had previously agreed £300k for this disadvantaged group.

  • Mobile Connectivity on the Tube

    • Reference: 2014/3518
    • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2014
    It has been confirmed that TfL is planning to allow mobile phone use whilst in tunnels on Crossrail trains. Tfl also suggests that they will evaluate the success of the Crossrail initiative before rolling out across the tube network. This means the technology will not even be considered until well after 2018. Bearing in mind that my report 'Calling All Stations' found that TfL is already well behind other major systems in terms of connectivity, does the Mayor believe that waiting almost a decade for such a system is an unnecessary delay?
