  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...
  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Building on the conversation that we are just finishing off with Assembly Member Marina Ahmad about the scrappage scheme. I thought it would be worth, given that we have had a back and forth and were looking for lessons learned, drilling down a little bit more into the review of the London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment. In front of me it says: “TfL is reviewing the effectiveness of the previous ULEZ scrappage scheme that enabled over 15,000 polluting vehicles to be removed from London’s roads to inform the development of any future scheme.” It...
  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Commissioner and Mr Mayor. Commissioner, I will start with you. Following on the theme of buses, but hopefully on a more positive note, the TfL Bus Action Plan aims to increase the speed of journeys. What I wanted to hear from you is how do you ensure that this does not adversely affect some groups who need to be given proper time to board buses safely?
  • Improving Fire Safety Standards in the Built Environment (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: It has been really fantastic to hear your answers to the questions that have come before, Deputy Mayor and Commissioner. Anyone who has done their homework knows that Sadiq [Khan, Mayor of London] has been a fierce advocate for improving building safety in London, pushing developers in the right direction on this particular point. Commissioner, you said in your earlier comments that we need to see integrity, not profit, as a driver for the way that developers integrate building safety in their plans. You are absolutely spot on and that is exactly what the London Plan pushes...
  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? LFB Transformation Delivery Plan (Supplement) [1]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Fiona and Andy, it is great to have you join us. It is so important that you have both already mentioned the Grenfell tragedy, a nightmare for many, but a reality for the residents who are still waiting for justice. It is a pertinent conversation to frame the rest of the discussion today about building safety. I wanted to start off by asking you, Fiona, specifically, what fire safety measures have been introduced into the planning system and how are they improving safety for Londoners?
  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I will be addressing my question to you. My question is concerning creating financial sustainability in TfL by 2023. TfL has reduced its funding requirement for the financial year from £2.7 billion identified in the March 2021 budget down to £1.9 billion in the July revised budget. Can you explain what you have done to create this £800 million saving and whether you are still on course to becoming financially sustainable by April 2023?
