  • Fencing on the A2/A102

    • Reference: 2013/1499
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    Why does it take TfL ten weeks to schedule work fixing a broken lockable gate on the fence shielding residential properties from the A102, when burglaries have been reported as a result of the broken fence?

  • A2/A102 Fencing

    • Reference: 2013/1500
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    Some residential streets in the Blackheath Westcombe and Peninsula wards of Greenwich and their back gardens are separated from the A2 and A102 by low fencing. Standards dictate that this would be inadequate had the roads been built in the 1970s onwards, but this is not retrospective. Would the Mayor consider using some of TfL's surplus to improve the lives of TfL's neighbours?

  • LED Media Displays at Sun-in-the-Sands Roundabout

    • Reference: 2013/1501
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    A planning application has been submitted to Greenwich Council for LED media displays at the Sun-in-the-Sands roundabout. Residents are astounded the application refers to the roundabout as akin to the Euston underpass. What surveys of light pollution, distraction etc did TfL carry out before submitting this application? Are there Londonwide guidelines for such displays or do they vary between the CAZ and residential areas?

  • Contactless Bank Cards

    • Reference: 2013/1502
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    I have been contacted by a constituent whose contactless payment debit card was accidentally charged because he kept it in his Freedom Pass wallet, unaware his bank card was contactless. Upon calling the bank he was alarmed to be informed they were aware of this happening 20-30 times a month. While TfL have advertised the danger of this, what procedures are in place between TfL and banks to ensure refunds are easy in these particular circumstances?

  • Affordable Housing Re-negotiation on the Greenwich Peninsula

    • Reference: 2013/1503
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    I have been contacted by constituents angered by the recent S106 re-negotiation in regard to affordable housing on the Greenwich Peninsula. The constituent asks: 'The Royal Borough of Greenwich recently agreed to vary the section 106 agreement on 11 plots on Greenwich Peninsula without any public consultation. This will result in the creation of a polarised community with no affordable housing on plots in the north and very high proportions of affordable housing concentrated in the south - in conflict with the agreed Masterplan, the borough's own UDP and the London Plan. On the basis of the London Plan's policies...

  • London Bridge Track Re-alignment

    • Reference: 2013/1504
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    Following the redevelopment of London Bridge, trains from the North Kent Line (via Deptford and Greenwich) will no longer terminate at Charing Cross, removing the direct link between swathes of South East London and the West End. What representation has the Mayor and TfL made to Network Rail in regard to this proposal?

  • A Shadow Rail Board

    • Reference: 2013/1505
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    The Mayor and all parties support an extension of TfL's influence over South London's commuter rail services. Does the redevelopment of London Bridge, with its both immediate and long term implications for the network present an urgent opportunity for new working patterns and structures between TfL, Network Rail and the Train Operating Companies?

  • South-East London: Connectivity to the West End

    • Reference: 2013/1506
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    How will TfL manage the implications of the central London Jubilee line closures and London Bridge redevelopment for residents of South East London?

  • London Bridge Redevelopment

    • Reference: 2013/1507
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    Documents suggest TfL will manage the redevelopment of London Bridge using the example of the 'Get Ahead of the Games' demand management programme. How does this prolonged closure compare and contrast to the Olympics? Can the demand to commute from South East London be pro-actively managed?

  • No Stone Unturned in Pursuit of Growth

    • Reference: 2013/1508

    • Meeting date: 22 May 2013
    How has the Mayor's thinking incorporated Michael Heseltine's recommendations for London and the Thames Gateway in particular?
