Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. The Evening Standard - this was a Rachel Burford [Chief Political Correspondent] article - reported in May [2023] that the Leader of Harrow Council and Harrow councillors, and senior local Tory officials, were running a Facebook group that celebrated ULEZ camera vandalism. One post linking to a news story about the destruction was captioned, “Well done”. Posts and comments on the group also spouted Islamophobic tropes about you and had unacceptable posts referring to a child sex offender on their page. What are your thoughts on the Harrow Conservatives running a Facebook page that...

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to the Mayor. You froze all TfL fares under your control for the first four years of your mayoralty and in these last three years the fares have gone up due to requirements in the Government funding deal made with the pandemic.

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. First of all I would like to address a question to Sir John, referring to another John, John Dickie, from John Kavanagh’s organisation [BusinessLDN], has stated that cutting back on HS2 is a false economy and it will lead to increased costs in the future.

How important is building affordable housing to London’s economic recovery and London’s businesses?

Krupesh Hirani AM: One of the things that residents who live in the existing undeveloped area quite rightly ask is what is in it for them. We have spoken already about the transport interchanges between HS2 and the Elizabeth line, but there is nothing quite as annoying as having to go into central London to come back out of again. One of the other long-term transport proposals for this area is the West London Orbital. Can you shed some light on how discussions with TfL are going and with the West London Alliance (WLA) are going on developing the West...

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you. Moving from east to west, my questions are for David Lunts in relation to the OPDC. I am mindful of the current consultation, which closes on 5 July [2021]. In relation to the revised plans, how will you ensure that they still deliver for the area, and for London more widely?
