  • ‘Producers’

    • Reference: 2020/2920
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    It is an offence not to produce your driving licence, certificate of insurance and MOT certificate when requested to do so by a police officer. However the usual procedure is that the police officer will issue a HO/RT1/ (called a 'producer'), requiring the driver of a vehicle to produce the documents at a police station of their choice within seven days. How many ‘producers’ have been handed out to drivers by the Metropolitan Police’s Traffic Command over the last five calendar years?

  • TfL High Earners

    • Reference: 2020/2921
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    On 22 July 2020, you appeared before Parliament’s Transport Select Committee and told them: ‘Unlike du ring the previous administration where the number of people earning over £100,000 was going up and bonuses were going up, in the last four years they have been going down.’ However, for the end of the financial year 2015/16, when you took over as London’s Mayor, the total number of TfL employees earning more than £100,000 was 458 - including Crossrail staff. That went up for the next two years - to a high of 617. It then dropped to 515, before rising again...

  • Poems on the Underground

    • Reference: 2020/2924
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    Given the paucity of commercial advertising currently available to TfL to entertain London’s commuters on the tube, I welcome the return of ‘Poems on the Underground’. However, the current offerings available read like the maunderings of the disturbed. Whilst I am well aware that there are some in our city who are not keen on British culture, the English language has always offered a rich poetic tradition. Is it possible that those involved in this initiative could be persuaded to provide Londoners with something slightly more uplifting in these difficult times?

  • Racist Pollution

    • Reference: 2020/2938
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    Given your closeness to Extinction Rebellion and your support for ‘Black Lives Matter’, do you agree with Extinction Rebellion’s co-founder Gail Bradbrook, who in the London Evening Standard on Friday 4 September 2020, questioned the ‘racist pollution impact of the Silvertown Tunnel.’ What is your understanding of the term ‘racist pollution’ and will it impact your support for the Silvertown Tunnel?

  • Walking and Cycling Commissioner Tweet

    • Reference: 2020/2939
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    The Walking and Cycling Commissioner Will Norman tweeted on 14th July: ‘For journeys under 30 minutes, the walking journey is just a few minutes longer, or about the same time, as a journey on a train or taxi. It takes just 20 minutes to walk from Euston to the British Museum, compared to 17 minutes via the tube and 18 minutes in a cab.’ 1 The journey time between these two points using a taxi is just 6 minutes however. Why did one of your staff encourage people to walk rather than to take a taxi using incorrect data? 1...

    • Reference: 2020/2942
    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    The closure of Bishopsgate and other TfL roads in the City of London to taxis means that journey times for taxis which are no longer able to use those roads are much longer and more expensive for passengers. What are you going to do to reverse this situation?

    • Meeting date: 17 September 2020
    Your road narrowing measures on Euston Road are causing congestion and increasing journey times for taxis, buses, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. What are you going to do to reverse this situation?
