In recent years the StreetLink app has been very useful so that members of the public could identify rough sleepers and make StreetLink aware of them. Now there is much less footfall on London’s streets as people stay home, what is being done to ensure as many rough sleepers as possible are being located and helped, especially as the cold weather continues to take its toll?

I’m pleased that after a long and unacceptable delay the London Plan can now shape and make a positive contribution to London. As London paves its way to recovery, will the London Plan need modifications in the light of the pandemic which has brought about radical changes in the way we live and work etc. Is the London Plan robust and flexible enough to absorb major changes required to pave a way to recovery or will it need to change? If latter is the case how do you think it can and will be done?

The Secretary of State seems to have directed more control to local authorities over the definition, location and height of tall buildings based on the authority’s own policies. How does this allow ‘strategic’ control of tall buildings across London to ensure that they are not detrimental in respect of their location, height, quality of design and overall built/environmental impact on London?

In August 2017 referring to the future of the LLDC I asked you if you were sympathetic to the view that the LLDC’s planning powers could be handed back ahead of the planned period of 2030 to the boroughs to complement and further progress the great social and economic convergence agenda? I note that no progress has been made on this. Now I notice that the relevant East London borough leaders have called for return of powers from the Olympic Legacy corporation which I support. Is it not the time that this happens without any further delay?
