London playing fields

Question No: 2014/3729

Andrew Dismore

As the strategic planning authority, is your view that London’s playing fields and running tracks must all be protected from development, without your own overwhelming reasons otherwise – and that such reasons must go beyond mere London borough analysis about very localised alternatives?

Written response from the Mayor

London Plan policies support proposals to enhance or increase the provision of existing sports and recreation facilities and resist net loss. Multi-use public facilities are encouraged wherever possible. Where social infrastructure facilities are no longer needed they should be considered for other forms of social infrastructure before alternative developments are considered.

 

Boroughs are required to assess the need for facilities in line with national policy. This should be done on a local and sub-regional basis, taking account of the availability of facilities beyond borough boundaries. Together with Sport England, I am providing funding to support boroughs undertake these studies.

 

London playing fields (2)

Question No: 2014/3730

Andrew Dismore

Do you consider such sites near major public transport facilities are particularly worthy of protection, or is this not a factor at all?

Written response from the Mayor

London Plan policies apply to all sports and recreation facilities irrespective of their location.  Whilst all facilities should be accessible and within easy reach by foot, cycle and public transport, no specific focus is placed on sites near to public transport.

 

London playing fields (3)

Question No: 2014/3731

Andrew Dismore

Since coming to power, what reasons have you ever given in planning policy, or decisions, regarding protection or destruction of such sites, beyond repeating London borough considerations?

Written response from the Mayor

My London Plan policies support proposals to enhance or increase the provision of sports and recreation facilities and resist net loss in order to increase participation in sport and physical activity. Alternative uses may be considered where facilities are no longer needed and where other forms of social infrastructure have been considered, where there is a local need. In assessing development proposals I consider London Plan policies as a whole, the need for facilities, and would expect sites to be enhanced or retained unless there are compelling reasons otherwise.

 

London playing fields (4)

Question No: 2014/3732

Andrew Dismore

You have previously mentioned policy research on running track provision (and perhaps on playing fields) by UK Athletics and Athletics England, to be released “this autumn”. Has this report been received yet? Is it freely published?

Written response from the Mayor

The UK Athletics (UKA) 2014-19 Facilities Strategy has now been published and is available to download from the UKA website at:

London playing fields (5)

Question No: 2014/3733

Andrew Dismore

Did you commission the research by UK Athletics and Athletics England into running track provision, and if so, what was the brief? If not, who did, and how do you know about it? Have you provided any input into it?

Written response from the Mayor

The UK Athletics (UKA) 2014-19 Facilities Strategy was published by the UKA and the Home Country Athletics Federations (HCAFs) and is available to download from the UKA website at:

Kings Cross Underground (1)

Question No: 2014/3734

Andrew Dismore

Is the new but long-closed Kings Cross Underground subway entrance on the south side of Euston Road your responsibility?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

 

Kings Cross Underground (2)

Question No: 2014/3735

Andrew Dismore

Is the closure due to design faults? Is it due to construction errors? What work is being carried out, are you paying for the reconstruction, and when will it reopen?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

 

Cycling Superhighways (1)

Question No: 2014/3736

Andrew Dismore

Regarding your planned Cycling Superhighways, are you consulting with London boroughs at the ends of those routes, so that there is not a sudden reduction in quality beyond them?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

 

Cycling Superhighways (2)

Question No: 2014/3737

Andrew Dismore

Regarding your planned Cycling Superhighways, does your consultation include the London Borough of Camden, regarding Midland Road, St Pancras?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

 

 

 

Step free access at Mill Hill East

Question No: 2014/3738

Andrew Dismore

In view of your announcement of funds for step-free access on the tube  which included reference to such access  Mill Hill East, when will building work on this step free access at  Mill  Hill East begin?

Written response from the Mayor

I was delighted that TfL was able to announce additional funding for vital step-free access schemes at stations in London, which will be used to match contributions from third parties such as developers or local authorities.

 

Mill Hill East was indeed named as a station which could be made step-free by 2024. The scheme and its timing is dependent on negotiations with the London Borough of Barnet and the third party developer, including the availability of sufficient third party funds.

 

Bus shelter A41

Question No: 2014/3739

Andrew Dismore

Will you provide a bus shelter for the A41 bus stop for route 324 opposite Prince of Wales Drive; and if not, why not?

Written response from the Mayor

On the assumption that you are referring to the bus stop on Prince Charles Drive in front of Brent Cross Shopping Centre, unfortunately, the answer is “no” as the footway is only 1.2 metres wide which is insufficient for even the narrowest shelter.

 

As I am sure you know, a major redevelopment of the area is planned which will, among other improvements, deliver a brand new bus station.  We will also take the opportunity to improve the public realm generally and, in particular to ensure we have the best possible facilities for bus passengers at all stops.

 

Police statistics

Question No: 2014/3740

Andrew Dismore

If a crime is reported of an attempted break in, or actual break in, but with nothing stolen, should that be recorded as a criminal damage offence or as a burglary offence?

Written response from the Mayor

The way that crimes are recorded in England and Wales is governed by the Home Office Counting Rules (HOCR). HOCR gives examples to assist forces in interpreting the rules, given that in some cases the circumstances of a crime may indicate that more than one type of offence has been committed.

The question as to whether an attempted burglary or criminal damage should be recorded will depend on a variety of factors. HOCR states that “Any damage to an entry point of a house should be assumed to be an attempt to enter and burgle the house if, on the balance of probabilities, attempted burglary is considered to be the more likely offence than the criminal damage.”  (HOCR 28B). Examples given include damage to a front door lock or a ground floor window, as both are entry points to a dwelling.

 

If it appears that burglary is the most likely motivation for damage to the outside of premises then the crime should be recorded as an attempted burglary. However if circumstances suggest that criminal damage to the outside of a property was not motivated by an intention to burgle, such as graffiti daubed on a front door, this should be recorded as criminal damage. Similarly an example given in HOCR 58B directs that criminal damage should be recorded if a suspect enters the flat of his ex-partner as a trespasser and places graffiti on the bedroom walls using items found inside the premises. This would also apply to cases where a suspect entered a dwelling as a trespasser merely to shelter or bed-down for the night. Clearly, in these circumstances, there is no intent to steal.

 

It is important to remember that HOCR cannot cover every eventuality and each case must be judged on its own merits.

 

Bus advertising

Question No: 2014/3741

Andrew Dismore

Many buses are now completely covered by brand advertising. When did TFL change its policy by abandoning  the iconic red London bus with only advertising in panels on the side and rear ; what proportion of buses are going to be allowed to be entirely mobile advertising hoardings; does  the income from this advertising reduces the subsidy paid to the private companies running the buses by travellers and London residents or does it go straight to bus company profits?

Written response from the Mayor

There has been no dilution of the iconic red London bus.

 

The commercial agreement with Exterion (which sells advertising space on behalf of bus operators) includes an allowance for up to 150 buses to carry advertising ‘wraps’ at any one time. The maximum number of buses carrying this type of advertising is therefore 150 from a total of 8,700 vehicles that are in regular service, with the rest of the fleet remaining red.

 

This is less than two per cent of the active fleet and there are currently no plans to increase this number.

 

Bus operators identify income from advertising as part of their tender bids and are expected to off-set this income against their contract costs, thus reducing the overall cost to TfL of operating the network.

 

Street lighting outside the University of London Observatory in Mill Hill

Question No: 2014/3742

Andrew Dismore

The new LED lighting being introduced by TfL is  being  implemented in the vicinity of the Observatory without consultation and, more importantly, without any steps to ameliorate the potential impact of light pollution from the new street lights  on  the Observatory’s work . At the end of last year, a single new LED lamp standard (which they  understand to be a “master” lamp, intended to act as a control node for future lamps) was installed near the Observatory.   That lamp, unlike the unit it replaced, has no internal baffles, no external shielding, and produces direct glare onto the  site, with a broad-band spectrum. The Observatory has tried to work with TfL but has now received a response which clearly implies that no further action is planned – not even installing shielding on the new lamp to remove the direct glare from which  they  now suffer. Will you visit the Observatory with me yourself, to see both the extraordinary and internationally recognised research work they do (and in relation to their recent discovery of a super nova you complimented them), the impact of light pollution form which they now suffer; and ensure that action  is taken  as with the previous lighting to reduce the impact of this pollution on their work?

Written response from the Mayor

Renewal of the street lights along the A1 forms an integral part of my strategy to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower electricity bills.  In the vicinity of the observatory the old street lights contain large, high wattage discharge lamps, the light from which is relatively difficult to control, so shields were installed to reduce stray light from interfering with the work of the observatory.  The replacement LED lighting, by comparison will have very small light sources, making optical control easier and resulting in their having the lowest glare rating of any highway lighting.  The advanced optical design of these street lights means that the addition of baffles would bring negligible additional benefit, however, TfL will be fully considering the need to minimise light ‘spill’ from the street lights to the surrounding area when carrying out the detailed design for lighting in the area.

 

Officers and lighting designers on behalf of TfL did meet with Professor Ian Howarth at the observatory in March so as to better understand his concerns.  Rest assured he will be advised of the detailed design proposal prior to new lighting being installed. In addition, TfL is installing a Central Management System (CMS) for street lighting which will allow lighting levels to be profiled appropriate to external factors e.g. traffic conditions, another means by which lighting levels can be controlled, at different times of the day.

 

Tally Ho, Edgware and Mill Hill Broadway bus stations

Question No: 2014/3743

Andrew Dismore

Tally Ho, Edgware and Mill Hill Broadway bus stations do not have electronic displays of expected arrivals and departures. When do you plan to install them?

Written response from the Mayor

TfL’s Digital Sign has enabled third-parties to display on-screen real-time bus arrival information at locations such as shopping centres, schools, libraries and health centres.

 

This technology has been enhanced to improve its use in more complex environments, like interchanges and bus stations, with a trial currently underway with Digital Signs now installed at Harrow and Vauxhall bus stations. TfL is currently assessing the suitability of additional bus stations to extend this trial.

 

ZF proposed advertisements

Question No: 2014/3744

Andrew Dismore

Have you read my letter about TfL’s ban on ZF proposed advertisements, and if so when can I expect a reply?

Written response from the Mayor

I have read your letter and you will receive a reply shortly.

 

Unexpected tailbacks  at Stirling Corner

Question No: 2014/3745

Andrew Dismore

There have been at busy times  very long and unexpected tailbacks  at Stirling Corner from Apex corner which have suddenly appeared. Why, and what are you doing about it?

Written response from the Mayor

In the ongoing work to improve traffic signal operation at Stirling Corner, SCOOT control was introduced to the system in early September. SCOOT is an automated system whereby traffic queues are monitored and signal timings adjusted in real time to balance the flows on the various arms and avoid excessive queues developing.

 

During the bedding-in period after the introduction of this new system an issue was identified whereby the A1 northbound flow was not being allocated appropriate green time. I understand adjustments were made on the evening of the 25 September and the situation has improved.

 

Stirling Corner traffic lights

Question No: 2014/3746

Andrew Dismore

When did the 24/7 Stirling Corner traffic lights experiment start? Has it been successful? Why is it necessary to hold yet another consultation on the 24/7 lights?

Written response from the Mayor

TfL has been operating the traffic signals at Stirling Corner on a 24/7 basis since May 2013. Since that time adjustments have been made, including the introduction of SCOOT (an automated system whereby traffic queues are monitored and signal timings adjusted in real time to balance the flows on the various arms and avoid excessive queues developing) in September of this year.

 

TfL continues to monitor the impact of the 24/7 operation of the signals. Current indications are that more traffic appears able to pass through the junction, but that the balance of traffic passing through on each arm in the morning peak has changed, with some increased delays being experienced on the A1.

 

There are no plans to undertake any further public consultation on the 24/7 operation of the existing signals.

However, when I next pass through Stirling Corner, I will be sure to give you a report.” And further to Question 2013/5236: “Have you ever cycled round Stirling Corner? Have you cycled round Stirling Corner since you promised to do so; if not why not; and if not when do you expect to cycle round Stirling Corner? Or is it that you have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future and just want to pretend you are a keen cyclist with cyclists’ concerns at heart and have no intention of honouring your commitment to do so, so that your original answer can be seen as nothing more than a fobbing off exercise? Or are you frightened of doing so, as it is too dangerous? Why do you have nothing to add? Aren’t you embarrassed by your non responses when reminded of your promise? And to Question 2013/4184 “I have nothing further to add to my previous answers to this question. It costs around £70 to respond to each Mayor’s Question and this question has now been asked 10 times.” “Why have you nothing to add? Are you not ashamed of your continual failure to honour this commitment? Why are you trying to avoid legitimate scrutiny of your work by suggesting that questions such as this that you find difficult and embarrassing should not be repeatedly asked until you provide a proper reply?” Your answer being: “This is the 11th time you have asked this question. I have not cycled through Stirling Corner. However, when I next cycle through Stirling Corner, I will be sure to give you a report.” Did you pass by Sterling Corner on your recent visit to Hendon?  Have you cycled round the roundabout yet?

Please see my response to MQ5236/2013″. “Isn’t it about time you honoured your commitment to ride round the junction on your bike, assuming you have yet to do so, so you don’t have to keep answering this question which reveals your failure to honour your pledge? Your answer being: Your question could have simply read “Have you cycled around Stirling Corner?” and my response to that question is “Please see my response to MQ 4161/2012″. Have you ridden round String corner yet on your bike; if not why not; and is your answer above an indication of the embarrassment you feel about being reminded about yet another broken pledge?” Your response being: “Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly. “Have you still not cycled round Stirling Corner, and if not, why not? your  response being: My response to MQ 2014/1459 was “I have not broken any pledge on this issue.”

Litter bins at the junction of Hampstead Road, Tottenham Court Road and the Euston underpass

Question No: 2014/3748

Andrew Dismore

Transport for London installed silver litter bins at the junction of Hampstead Road, Tottenham Court Road and the Euston underpass. Camden Environment Services were not consulted about these bins- they were simply installed and  they  were expected to service them. Camden   have not been able to do so  because   they cannot  stop their vehicles close to them because of the red route parking restrictions, some of the bins were found to be faulty,  and they do not have a “beat sweeper” operating in parts of this junction who would be able to service the bins.

Why were Camden not consulted, and as you put the bins there, will you arrange for them to be emptied?

Written response from the Mayor

The Euston Circus scheme has been delivered after close cooperation between LB Camden, TfL and British Land. Although the provision of litter bins and their maintenance rests with the borough, the provision of new bins was included in the Euston Circus scheme.

 

The bins selected were agreed with representatives from Camden. Accordingly, bins were installed in good faith but it has transpired that they were not appropriate or consistent with Camden’s latest cleansing contract. The units have since been replaced with Camden standard units.

 

It should be noted that the vehicles servicing the bins are specifically exempted from stopping restrictions and red route controls.

 

TFL work on Colney Hatch Lane to Muswell Hill

Question No: 2014/3749

Andrew Dismore

I have had a number of complaints from Barnet residents about the  inaccessibility of  busses  and inaccessibly of routes to schools as many Barnet parents close to the border use Haringey schools due to these works. An  88 year old lady  in Wetherill road N10 is having to use mini cabs she can ill afford because of the lack of bus service. Why cannot  at least a hopper bus be  run from Friern Barnet community library (the Barnet terminus) to the Haringey border, or a shuttle bus via Trott road to Muswell Hill? Why did local Barnet councillors have no notification from TfL about these works and the impact on residents of their  wards? Which residential roads in Barnet had notification? do you think this issue has been well handled by TfL?

Written response from the Mayor

The carriageway renewal works are on behalf of Haringey Council, whose responsibility it is to notify councillors and local residents about the works.  Bus route diversions were agreed following detailed discussions with the council, with appropriate information regarding the diversions included on all affected bus stops.  Five routes were diverted, including routes 43 and 134 for the duration of the works and routes 102, 234 and 299 for phase 1 of the works (due for completion in late October). An additional three buses have been introduced temporarily on route 234 to increase capacity on Coppetts Road, which runs parallel and to the west of Colney Hatch Lane.

 

Unfortunately, following investigation, side roads to the east of Colney Hatch Lane are not suitable for a bus service.

 

Mill Hill East and Finchley Central

Question No: 2014/3750

Andrew Dismore

Further to Question No: 2014/3238:

“Further to your answer to question No: 2014/2004 concerning  shuttle tube and  buses services between these stations with a quarter hour service interval with bus and underground timetables ignoring  one another and your undertaking to ask TfL to look into this further, what progress has been made?”Your  response  being “Following discussions with Barnet Council, TfL will be consulting on an extension of route 382 to the new Millbrook Park development. The consultation is due to be complete by the end of the year. Subject to the outcome of this consultation, TfL will aim to get the best overall bus / rail schedule integration as part of implementing the scheme”

Why cannot you integrate the buses and tubes now? Surely it is not so difficult to ask the bus company to get its buses to leave either 7 minutes earlier or 7 minutes later?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

 

Bus stops, Aerodrome Road

Question No: 2014/3751

Andrew Dismore

Further to Question No: 2014/3250

“What progress has been made concerning  the siting  of new bus stops on the westbound side of Aerodrome  Road, Colindale, bearing in  mind that much of the Peel Centre frontage  is  no longer occupied by the police?”

Your response being “TfL has identified a number of locations for new westbound stops and will be meeting with officers from London Borough of Barnet and the MPS in September to discuss the proposed locations.”

Has that meeting now taken place and if so with what outcome; and if not, why not?

Written response from the Mayor

Yes. At that meeting LB Barnet officers agreed to TfL’s proposal for three additional westbound stops and one additional eastbound stop. I am delighted that TfL plans to install these by the end of November, road space availability permitting.

 

In the meantime, TfL has installed a temporary stop near the junction with Propeller Way so that passengers can benefit from a better service in advance of the introduction of permanent changes.

 

Mill Hill Circus

Question No: 2014/3752

Andrew Dismore

What progress is being made in your plans for this junction; what discussions have you or your officers had with Barnet Council; and when will a public consultation be held?

Written response from the Mayor

TfL is currently undertaking feasibility and design work for a scheme at the Mill Hill Circus junction which is considering utilising land on the north western corner. TfL is in contact with the London Borough of Barnet and will continue to discuss proposals throughout the design process. Once a final design is sufficiently developed a public consultation will follow.

 

Bridge over the A1

Question No: 2014/3753

Andrew Dismore

Further  to Question No: 2014/3236

“The roads and land around and over the bridge over the A1 which brings the Southbound A1 traffic in and out of Borehamwood, the first junction north of Stirling Corner belong to a combination of 4 authorities including TfL and as a result no-one is taking any responsibility  for the maintenance and repair of the bridge. The footpath has almost disappeared and pedestrians are forced to walk in the road and is being increasingly used by children and adults to access the golf range and youngsters walking to the London Maccabi training ground. The protective fence along the edge of the bridge over the road itself is in disrepair and dangerous. Will you take action to ensure the bridge and path are urgently and properly maintained?

Written response from the Mayor

As you correctly advise, the maintenance arrangements at this particular location are complex with the Highways Agency, Hertsmere Borough Council, London Borough of Barnet and TfL all having elements of responsibility.

The bridge and bridge parapets are TfL’s responsibility and have been inspected following your question and TfL confirm that these are safe and in good condition.

The footpath leading from the residential area east of the A1 (off Paddock lane) to the footbridge is solely the responsibility of Hertsmere Borough Council. There is no designated footpath from the footbridge to the golf centre, and this is not a pedestrian movement I would encourage as this is a slip road for a motorway junction. TfL will arrange a meeting with the adjoining highway authorities to confirm maintenance responsibilities in the area and identify how pedestrian provision can be improved.Further to your response to Q2014/2967 above, could you provide an update on this matter?”Your  response being “Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.”

Will you now give a substantive reply?

‘With reference to my Question No: 2014/1996″I am sure you are aware of the plans for major changes at the RNOH Stanmore, which include a substantial housing development on the site. What assessment have you made of the impact of the plans on the strategic roads, in particular Canon’s Corner, also bearing in mind the London Academy expansion plan?”

your response being”I considered the application at Stage II on 10 April 2013. In that report TfL notes that in relation to highway capacity, that following Stage one and at TfL’s request, further assessment has been undertaken regarding possible improvements to the Brockley Hill/Wood Lane junction in order to mitigate traffic arising from the development. Harrow Council has accepted the provision of a signalised junction as effective mitigation and the section 106 agreement will secure this through a section 278 agreement (Highways Act). As these works will also encompass new/improved crossings between the site and the bus stops on Brockley Hill, TfL welcomed the separate condition added which secures the delivery of such facilities prior to the commencement of the Central Development Zone (CDZ). In addition to this, a contribution of £20,000 has been secured towards upgrading the two bus stops on Brockley Hill, which TfL welcomes. As agreed with Harrow, TfL expects to be involved in all of the above section 278 discussions, given its responsibility for maintaining traffic signals and a reliable bus network”will you  now answer the question I asked, concerning Canon’s Corner  and the London Academy expansion plan?’ Your response being “Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.”

Barnet Safer Neighbourhood Board

Question No: 2014/3757

Andrew Dismore

If Barnet SNB  had  not been able to secure the use  of the Peel Centre on a goodwill basis, they would have had to cancel  their  first public meeting. When will their funding be sorted out?

Written response from the Mayor

Barnet SNB has received its core administration funding and, as advised in my previous response to MQ 3326, as soon as the board submits an application for project funding it will be given due consideration and processed accordingly.  Barnet SNB has taken the innovative approach of working with partners to secure services and support in-kind where possible in order to maximise the resources available for project delivery, and this is an example of how this can work for the benefit of the community.

 

Camden Safer Neighbourhood Board

Question No: 2014/3758

Andrew Dismore

Do you think it was right that Camden Safer Neighbourhood Board  had  to cancel Their  meeting a Community Conversation on Antisocial Behaviour on Monday 29 September because  their funding from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime had still  not yet been agreed?

Written response from the Mayor

Camden received feedback on their funding application on 11 September 2014 and did not respond to this until 22 September, at which point they had taken the decision to cancel the meeting without any consultation with MOPAC.  It was unfortunate that the event could not go ahead.

Ram Raids

Question No: 2014/3764

Andrew Dismore

What is the  value of goods reported stolen in ram raids using stolen motorcycles and motor scooters in London over the last three years; how many  arrests  have there been for this sort of crime in the same period; and do you see these events as part of a purported 6% drop in London crime?

Written response from the Mayor

“Ram raids” are not recorded as a separate category in the MPS crime report system (CRIS), but generally recorded as burglary, robbery or theft.  It is not therefore possible to assess the value of stolen goods from, or number of arrests for “ram raids”.

 

Police tactics evolve to address emerging crime trends and specific problems, such as linked offences.  Operation Ringtone targets crime involving mobile devices, currently one of the most significant drivers of acquisitive crime.  Operation Bumblebee, a long-standing successful operation against burglary, will use innovative tactics this autumn to tackle anticipated seasonal increases.

 

Over the last three financial years (since April 2010) burglary has been reduced by 9 per cent and robbery by 20%. The MPS has crime prevention experts helping to protect businesses across London, who have been deployed to advise on measures to target-harden premises vulnerable to “ram-raid”-style attacks.

Rave on land opposite Arkley Park

Question No: 2014/3766

Andrew Dismore

There was yet another illegal rave on the vacant land opposite Arkley Park, Stirling Corner  on the weekend of 27th September  from Saturday midnight until early Sunday morning. The police did not  show up to stop the rave, despite many phone calls from  many  residents on Arkley Park.  This isn’t the first time this has happened. Is the failure of the police to attend yet another example of just how stretched they are, due to your cuts? If not , then why did they  not turn up?

Written response from the Mayor

These events usually take place with very little notice making them to be difficult to police with Emergency Response Policing Team resources. When the MPS get advance notice, they work proactively to stop events before they start. The intelligence is explored and discussed at Borough management meetings every day. Once events are established, however, it can be very difficult to shut them down in a manner consistent with public safety.

This area was therefore directed to be dealt with by way of a Problem Solving Plan for Neighbourhood Policing Teams, so that a longer term solution can be identified and a policy or process put in place to provide phone numbers/owner information etc. We have now identified the landowner and confirmed that the persons involved were on the land without permission. The owners have agreed to put on site security in place over the weekend to prevent access and notify police if people begin to assemble.

Solar Panels on bus stops

Question No: 2014/3844

Andrew Dismore

How many bus stop adverts or countdown indicators are powered by solar panels?

Written response from the Mayor

TfL is keen to explore carbon technology including solar and LED where feasible. At present, solar lighting technology cannot deliver sufficient power for Countdown signs. TfL is continuously looking at new technology, so this may change in the future.

 

The same was true of advert panels in bus shelters, but in recent weeks, TfL’s advertising contractor has installed a trial shelter with solar powered advert panels on Waterloo Bridge. If the level of lighting – which is lower than with mains power – proves acceptable to advertisers, it is possible that more will be rolled out.

Would it not be a good idea to keep statistics of the number of prosecutions that ultimately succeed and those that fail at trial?

Police statistics2

Question No: 2014/3847

Andrew Dismore

Would it not be a good idea to keep statistics of the number of stop and searches on a ward level ?

Written response from the Mayor

As advised in my response to MQ 3328/ 2014, it would be impractical to collect stop and search data to this level of detail.  Stop and Search is a legitimate policing tactic that is supported by the vast majority of Londoners. However, I recognise the importance of ensuring these powers are used appropriately in maintaining that legitimacy.  This is best achieved by ensuring transparency and accountability through MOPAC Challenge, the publication of stop and search data, and by working with borough community monitoring groups to provide local accountability.

 

Policing of football matches

Question No: 2014/3848

Andrew Dismore

Do you agree that Premier League football clubs should meet the cost of policing their games on a full cost recovery basis?

Written response from the Mayor

Like all police forces, the MPS supports private sports clubs who hold events in London under Special Policing Services agreements where additional policing is required on those match days for land owned, leased or controlled by the club.  Under present law, the MPS is not able to recover costs for any additional policing outside this ‘footprint’.  Officers are deployed to maintain order and to prevent and detect crime, and not to act as event stewards. How individual events are policed is a matter for the MPS, and the resourcing is planned and agreed locally to minimise the impact on local policing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anti-Semitism on buses

Question No: 2014/3849

Andrew Dismore

What instructions are given to bus drivers as to how to deal with anti Semitic or other racist incidents committed by passengers on their buses?

Written response from the Mayor

There are clear guidelines for reporting and escalating incidents of this nature to the London Buses’ 24/7 control centre, supported by extensive training and easy-to-find reference in driver handbooks.

 

Where specific problems are encountered, TfL raises the circumstances with bus operators across the fleet, and works with the MPS to investigate the incident. However, if you or your constituents are aware of any specific incidents, then please notify me and I will ask TfL to investigate.
