  • Taxi Rank Enforcement

    • Reference: 2017/3648
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    Residents across my constituency have raised with me the issue of too many taxis sitting on ranks - for example, 10-12 taxis when the rank has spaces marked for 6 taxis. This is especially prevalent at Putney Station and at Wimbledon Station. While the Zero-Emission Taxis will assist with reducing diesel, they are not available until the end of this year, and my constituents would like TfL to enforce where too many taxis are situated on Red Routes. Does the Mayor agree that TfL should take a more active role and can this be encouraged, to improve London's air quality...

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    Dockless cycles have suddenly turned up without discussion in many parts of London, including my constituency. Could the Mayor give an update on discussions that TfL are holding with Obike and Mobike on how to promote cycling responsibly, without blocking the highways or pavements?

    A constituent would like to know what modelling has been done on the impact on air quality of the introduction of the Zero-Emission Capable Taxis - does this show the impact at low, medium and high take-up rates?

  • Tree planting

    • Reference: 2017/3652
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    Trees which had been intended for the Garden Bridge are currently being grown in nurseries across the UK. As these have been purchased and lovingly grown with public money, will you now take ownership of these and donate them to community gardeners, pocket parks and schools across the capital to genuinely offer the green benefit which the Bridge would not have offered?

  • Funding for Low Emission Vehicles

    • Reference: 2017/3213
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 10 August 2017
    In response to a question I asked about funding for Low Emission Vehicles last year, it was stated that Central Government provided funding through three streams one of which was the 'Go Ultra Low City Scheme', which provided £13m to help TfL and the boroughs deliver residential charging infrastructure, install electric bays for car club and to provide charge points for commercial fleets. Can you please provide an update on the progress of this scheme?
  • Wash from Riverboats

    • Reference: 2017/3216
    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 10 August 2017
    The Passage Plans agreed by Thames Clippers for their Riverboats include slowing down near houseboats. However, while substantiated complaints have fallen, there are still half a dozen substantiated complaints each month. Would the Mayor consider the introduction of Fixed Penalty Notices, issued by TfL, as another means of reminding skippers of the need to stick to Passage Plans?
