The Travellers Forum in Sutton and Carshalton Road residents have raised the lack of bus access from Carshalton Road direct to Sutton town centre and St Helier hospital. They asked if route S4 could be diverted but this has been rejected by TfL because Carshalton Road is too far from the route and already serves Croydon town centre and Epsom Hospital instead, which essentially misses the point of accessing St Helier. Can TfL look at the options for other routes to match the requirements and benefit local residents?

By law, Croydon and Sutton borough councils will pay a combined £595,000 in 2011-12 for the upkeep of the Lee Valley Regional Park, which is many miles away from them and very few of their residents visit.

Is it not entirely sensible to pay for the facilities one uses as opposed to paying for the facilities one does not...

Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): The Assembly has asked for updates on five matters. The funding negotiations between the Greater London Authority (GLA) and the Government was certainly one of them and I can tell you that negotiations are going on though, as is quite common in this particular period, they are not yet complete. On one matter I know that Members will be wanting to have reassurance: I am absolutely clear that we will be able to keep police numbers high and around 1,000 more than there were in 2008. I know that will be a reassurance. On the...
