  • Piccadilly Line overcrowding

    • Reference: 2016/0376
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2016
    The Piccadilly Line suffers from serious overcrowding, particularly the route from Heathrow Airport to central London. This problem may be alleviated by the opening of Crossrail services in 2019, but what plans do you have in the interim to reduce overcrowding on this line?

  • Garden Bridge

    • Reference: 2016/0379
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2016
    In answer to freedom of information requests (MGLA41215 - 1959 and MGLA211215 - 1781) it has been clarified that the Mayor attended San Francisco in early February 2013 to meet senior representatives of Apple. Can you list everyone who was present at all of the meetings conducted by the Chair of Transport for London during this trip, particularly whether Joanna Lumley or any representatives of Heatherwick Studios were present?
  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    I agree with that wholly and Members will recall indeed we proposed a budget amendment at this year's budget debate to provide more policing in suburban London. My concern is that many outer London boroughs in the south of London do not have London Underground service at all, or indeed anywhere near them. Whilst policing on the buses is extremely important, in the commuter areas it is actually the overground rail and the stations and the trackside which is of importance. As you have just said, the public do not make much distinction about which type of uniform the police...
  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    OK, but subject to that and to operational needs and local determination, there is no reason why they should not be at times working in the early hours of the morning?
  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    A lot of the problems that occur associated with transport happen very late at night and in the early hours of the morning, often with dispersal, whether that is on late night buses or particularly with taxis and mini cabs. Will the PCSOs be available at those sort of hours to deal with those sort of problems?
  • Modern Ways of Accessing the Police

    • Reference: 2006/0332-1
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Are the MPS' public access points fit for purpose?
  • Safer Neighborhood Teams (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Commissioner, you mentioned again a term you used to use about the Balkanisation of policing services. You were always opposed to the accreditation of local authority run neighbourhood wardens or whatever term they use in parks police. Are you reconsidering that view, and will you allow accreditation in London as in the rest of the country?
  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    ): I recall two or three years ago, David Veness (former Assistant Commissioner, Specialist Operations, MPS) saying that his biggest problem was the management of complacency, and both of you this morning have referred to that. In that context, how do we know, and how can we convince people, whether the lack of a terrorist incident is due to the success of the anti-terrorist measures or whether the threat is actually being exaggerated, perhaps in the competition for scarce resources?
