I was heartened when you responded positively to my question raised on 15th December 2004 (ref:1765/2004) and joined me in pressing for the installation of CCTV at Wood Street Station, following a fatal stabbing.

Further to my question 2099/2005 about the difficulties cyclists in Waltham Forest have been experiencing since Silverlink Train Operating Company imposed restrictions on them taking their bikes onto the Gospel Oak to Barking Line during peak hours, there have been new developments. Silverlink and TfL have put in a bid to provide 3 extra trains during peak hours, which is excellent news. Now that extra capacity has been created, would you support my call for cyclists to be allowed back on this line?

Given that TfL have acknowledged that their traffic model and predictions on which the case for the Thames Gateway Bridge was based are unreliable, and that they are scheduled to present amended evidence to the Public Inquiry, will you consider making further funds available so that objectors can also properly present supplementary evidence at the inquiry as invited to do so by the inspector?
