  • Camden and Islington BCU merger review

    • Reference: 2017/5305
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2017
    The Camden Safer Neighbourhood Board has been told on a number of occasions that it will be part of the Camden and Islington BCU merger review. They have yet to hear how or when they will be involved. When will this occur?
  • Government's continued underfunding of the NICC grant

    • Reference: 2017/5306
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2017
    How many officers are dedicated to security in a) Parliament and b) at Government ministries; and due to the Government's continued underfunding of the NICC grant , is it time to review this number and for Parliament and Government to look at cheaper options funded by themselves, such as replacing police officers with civilian security officers, so that Londoners can have the benefit of more police officers being redeployed to the boroughs instead of static duties guarding those premises for which the Met is not properly reimbursed?
  • lack of integration and extremist murder plots

    • Reference: 2017/5307
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2017
    Asst Commissioner Mark Rowley is reported as having said that in the fight against extremist murder plots a lack of integration was a factor driving some suspects who wanted to stage attacks; and Louise Casey, former government adviser, has also said social isolation was driving rising Islamist and far-right terrorism. Do you agree, and if so what is being done about it?

  • Europol

    • Reference: 2017/5156
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    EU negotiator M. Barnier, in his recent Berlin speech on 29th November, said : "…Defence and Security Union will have to be developed without the British, since on 30 March 2019 the United Kingdom will, as is its wish, become a third country when it comes to defence and security issues...The UK …..will no longer be a member of …. Europol … Everything I have just said is the logical consequence of the sovereign choice made by the British." What does this mean for security for Londoners, against organised crime and terrorism?

  • Woodside Park Station

    • Reference: 2017/5158
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    Will you ask TfL to look at Woodside Park underground station, where over the years various unsightly additions have been made which detract from the architecture and appearance of the original design from 1864, and in particular the unsightly electrical conduits and trunking, to see what can be done to improve the appearance?
  • C11 bus

    • Reference: 2017/5159
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    I continue to receive complaints about the infrequency of the C11 bus after TfL timetable cuts, which mean that the bus is frequently full and therefore does not stop to pick up passengers, for example going to the Royal Free Hospital; will you review this service accordingly?
  • Helicopter engine emissions

    • Reference: 2017/5160
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have said that helicopter engine emissions are contributing to poor local air quality and may be considered problematic in certain cities. The evidence shows that the air quality impact of helicopter engine emissions is localised, meaning that helicopter movements in central London are likely to have a significant impact on nearby air quality. It seems unfair that private helicopters flying into central London should not be subject to the same engine emissions regulations, and Congestion Zone Clean Air charge, as cars and commercial vehicles as helicopters emit more pollutants than any typical car. Will...
  • 13 bus

    • Reference: 2017/5161
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2017
    Despite reassurances from you by way of answers to MQs and from TfL in response to correspondence, the problems of the 13 bus continue as they have for many months now. I am still receiving complaints of fast and jerky bad driving by the drivers, unreliable and intermittent services, not stopping despite having a hand out to stop the bus, missing bus stops despite ringing the bell, and the poor design of the busses with inadequate seating. When will these problems be resolved, if ever?
