I have reviewed the figures provided to me by your office in answer to MQ3320/2010. I am saddened to learn that your office has not seen fit to keep a full copy of the report. However, from the report provided, your claims about the success of the Debate appear to be totally misleading. It is the case that 12,380 people may have seen two or more tweets containing the phrase State of London, SOLDebate or stld they did not send them as you claimed. In fact, from the report you have given me I can only see 1004 individual tweets...

The 2008 'London Boroughs' Gypsy and Traveller and Accommodation Needs Assessment' by Fordham concluded that up to 554 residential traveller pitches were needed in London between 2007 and 2012 to meet demand.

Having reviewed the information provided in answer to question 2734/2010, I believe the Mayor is misleading Londoners as to the success of the State of London debate. From the information provided I can see that 12,380 people saw two or more tweets referring to State of London. They did not send them. It should also be noted that on any given day approx 4,000 people will see 2 or more tweets containing that text. I request to see the full TweetReach Report that allowed the Mayor to come to this flawed conclusion in order to accurately assess how many people...

Reports of cyclists being attacked and robbed of their bikes in the Queeensbridge/ Haggerston area by robbers in Balaclavas, have recently been surfacing on twitter and www.lfgss.com cycling message forum. In one such attack, which took place a few weeks ago along Northchurch Road and De Beauvoir Road, a cyclist was thrown into a wall and kicked against the ground. He was then robbed of his bag and bike. I am very concerned about the safety of cyclist especially since the route through De Beauvoir is in the TFL cycle guide and has no CCTV. Will you be looking into...

Last year's Story of London calendar consisted of 520 events while this year consists of 158 events. How do you justify the same amount of GLA core funding (£165K) being spent this year on such a reduced programme?
