The Mayor's public draft Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (CCME) Strategy was published on Friday 8th October when clearly your office knew nothing of Government plans for the LDA. As the whole strategy is heavily reliant on LDA activity, it is hard to imagine how you will now implement even a small proportion of the programmes or policies set out in this strategy, so the Government's decision, timing and lack of communication with the Mayor's office must be deeply embarrassing. Now London is to lose the LDA, how will you see to it that London develops its existing geographical and...

TfL has so far spent over £1.3 million on the electric charging network, and yet TfL make no note of how many users have signed up for the scheme. I understand that in Haringey, for example, where £63,000 has already been spent & another £30,000 is committed, that just one user has registered for the 12 charging points. Do you think TfL ought to be keeping a tally of how many users there are as they continue to plough money into this? And currently how do you or TfL know if this is good value for taxpayers' money?
