    • Reference: 2010/3729
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 17 October 2010
    The need for further rail capacity in London is clearly identified in the Mayor's Transport Strategy and one of the highest priorities in the medium term is to increase capacity on the West Anglia Routes (MTS proposal 8). I am aware that TfL are working with the West Anglia Routes Group, the boroughs and the Department for Transport on a number of initiatives, including the West Anglia Main Line Improvements, the Greater Anglia refranchising and the input to the High Level Output Specification for the next Control Period (2014-2019). However could the Mayor please: a) Outline his understanding of the...

  • Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs)

    • Reference: 2010/3731
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 17 October 2010
    At the last Economic Development, Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee meeting on 19 October, your advisor Anthony Brown made his ongoing scepticism about LEPs known. ("I have yet to be persuaded of their merits. Unless they can make a positive case, we can't see a good reason for having LEPs across London.")

I now understand that the GLA is developing its own proposal for a pan-London LEP, chaired by the Mayor. Can you; • assure me that you will support the devolution...
