The Government has updated their valuation of greenhouse gases, with the cost of each tonne of carbon now set to increase by as much as four times for 2030. In the business case for Silvertown Road Tunnel the Net Present Value (NPV) was increased because it was assumed that reductions in congestion would reduce carbon emissions. Does that mean that future road projects assessed in this way would be assessed as being worth more as the carbon price increases?

Transport for All and the Access Association have raised concerns that colourful crossings are causing issues for disabled people.

In your reasoning for rejecting the proposed scheme for the Stag Brewery, Mortlake, you told the public hearing: “Despite the hard work of the GLA team, the public benefits offered would not clearly outweigh the harm. I’m particularly concerned that the affordable housing offer, which remains below the expectations that I have in my plan, does not unbalance the adverse impacts of the development.” Could you tell me what discussions the GLA team had with developers Reselton Properties, and any of their partners, around grant funding in order to improve the number of affordable housing units, and what the outcome...
