    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    Towards a London Plan is a notoriously central London-centric strategy. The economic development strategy, on the other hand, has the foresight to look to develop London's subregions and town centres. Does this mean that the two strategies will be working against each other? .

    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2001
    The Economic Development Strategy's support of social firms is extremely welcome. However, none of the measures outlined in the strategy will make an impact on the sector in anything like the immediate future. Can not more be done to aid a sector that is likely to be particularly vulnerable to the anticipated economic downturn? .

  • Passenger Service on the River Thames (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 05 September 2001
    Thank you for that. You mentioned the use of travel pass, but is it not the case that on the riverboats Travel Card holders only actually get a one-third reduction and surely there would be better use of the service if the riverboats counted in on the travel pass, the same as the buses and tubes. Would that not encourage more people to use the service?

  • Passenger Service on the River Thames (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Louise Bloom
    • Meeting date: 05 September 2001
    So do you see the riverboat system more as for tourists then, than for the use of regular commuters, which, if you do, I think is rather a shame when that would be a useful addition to the congestion charging strategy, to encourage people to use the riverboats. I believe back as far as 1993 there were about 3,000 people using the riverboats every day when there were more heavy subsidies than we get at the moment.
