  • Support for community hubs

    • Reference: 2024/1222
    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
    The Green Group Budget Amendment 2024-25 contained a financed plan to: “provide funding so small businesses, community groups, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and social enterprises can bring […] economic and social activity back to disused buildings,” in each London borough and the City of London. Could you update me on the progress of your 2021 manifesto commitment to: “Work with partners on the London Recovery Board to support Londoners having access to a community hub — a physical building to visit, a local organisation to turn to, or another means of accessing the support, knowledge and resources they need to...
  • Night Czar

    • Reference: 2024/0967
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
    "City Hall last night insisted the trips were essential to share best practice learn from other cities and build partnerships". What specifically did your Night Czar learn from her trips to places such as Sydney, Bologna and Madrid? How will her approach change as a result of what she's learnt? If she were to continue to serve for another Mayoral term, what would you look to change or improve about her targets?
  • London’s Economy Policies

    • Reference: 2024/0771
    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 22 February 2024
    This time last year, I presented you with data from the ONS suggesting London has the highest start-up rate of new businesses in the country. I asked you to demonstrate, with data, what impact your policies have had on either business openings or closures. One year on and I still haven't seen that data. Can we have an update as soon as possible please?
  • Business rates for unoccupied properties (2)

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 22 February 2024
    Thank you for your answer to my question 2023/3585, in which you said: “The closing date for responses is not until 28 September, however the GLA is engaging with revenues and business rates leads in London boroughs – who as rating authorities are experts in this area – to develop a response to the various questions asked.” This answer makes no sense given that it was provided on 29 January 2024. Could you therefore supply a copy of your response to the consultation, in response to this question, which I presume was submitted before the deadline of 28 September 2023?

    The webpage for your High Streets for All mission says: “The mission will deliver enhanced public spaces and exciting new uses for underused high street buildings in every Borough by 2025, working with London's diverse communities.” Could you tell me how the future of the mission will be impacted by rolling it into the themes of Economy and Global city and culture in your new draft budget, with particular reference to the proposed timeline on the webpage?

    The webpage for your High Streets for All mission gives a proposed timeline for the future of the mission. Could you tell me where I can find the Community Improvement Districts launch findings, the High Streets for All Challenge Insights Report, information on the progress of both the eight GGF Accelerators and the 12 CEZs in place, and whether the target of town centres with a strategy of 15 per cent has been met?
