Will you reconsider the time that TfL allots for consultation on major road changes, and allow more time for consultation, particularly over holiday periods? For example, a proposal by TfL to install a bus lane in Roehampton Lane was given only two weeks consultation period over the Christmas and New Year holidays (from the 22nd December to 5th January) which is just not acceptable for such a sensitive issue.

What plans do you have for the improvement of the No 4 bus service? As confirmed by a petition many constituents report this route as a real problem. Can you look into short-term measures to improve this service rather than just wait for the re-tendering process for 2005-06.

Although the 158-bus service has improved it is still not meeting its targets and in reality makes constituents life a nightmare as it is so unreliable. What extra measures will you introduce to ensure it will meet its targets.

I appreciate the Mayor's emphasis on safety as a priority (2035/2003 Angel junction). Whilst the crossing outside Angel tube might not have a poor accident record many people narrowly miss being involved in an accident.

Valerie Shawcross [AM] and I raised with you concerns about the impact of the Congestion Charge on schools inside the zone, as compared with very similar schools immediately outside the zone. In the work that TfL is doing, are you looking as well at the broader issues of the double whammy that could hit people who have workplace parking places inside the congestion zone?
