Fire Brigade HQ

Question No: 2014/4111

Andrew Dismore

Do you consider the cost of the rent of Brigade HQ good value for money?

James Cleverly AM (Chairman, LFEPA) & Ron Dobson (Commissioner, LFEPA)

The LFEPA HQ premises provides good quality offices at a current rent of £19/sq ft rising to £25.75/sq ft  in March 2015. This is very good value for money compared to rents in new office spaces in the same area (SE1) which are typically around £50/sq ft. The current rent is being offset by additional income earned from subletting unoccupied space.

 

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

The entrance you refer to forms part of King’s Cross St. Pancras Underground station. The ongoing works, while jointly funded by TfL and the Department for Transport, are being undertaken by Network Rail, over which I have no control. They are required to meet planning conditions imposed by the London Borough of Camden.

 

TfL has been encouraging Network Rail to speed up the works and I understand that re-opening is anticipated at the end of the year.

 

In the meantime customers can use numerous alternative routes to leave the Underground station, including the Western Ticket Hall (adjacent to the forecourt of St Pancras International), from where they can use controlled crossings to reach the south side of Euston Road.

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

Please see my response to MQ 3734 /2014.

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

TfL has worked extremely closely with London boroughs which Cycle Superhighways are in or close to. This includes considering the connections between Cycle Superhighway routes and other cycle networks such as Quietways and the central London Grid.

Hate Crime

Question No: 2014/3765

Andrew Dismore

In view of the increase in hate crime and especially anti Semitism, will you mount a publicity campaign to explain what is and is not hate crime so that Londoners know what is and is not  an offence ?

Written response from the Mayor

There has been an increase in hate crime in London over the last three years and specifically an increase in anti-Semitism during the summer months this year.  I share your concern about the rise in hate crime, including anti-Semitism, and recognise the importance of ensuring the public have the confidence to come forward and report incidents.

 

I will soon be launching my Hate Crime Reduction Strategy for London.  One of the key objectives must be to raise awareness of what hate crime is and boost people’s confidence to report it.  This was supported by the consultation responses and an awareness campaign will feature in the final strategy.

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

Consultation on the extension to route 382 is due to take place before Christmas, subject to confirmation of funding from the development and a successful route test. If TfL does proceed with retiming the service by 7 minutes, then the bus operator will need to reschedule the service along with driver duties. It is therefore sensible to plan for implementing both changes together.

signage at Kings Cross tube station

Question No: 2014/4339

Andrew Dismore

The signage at Kings Cross tube station is inadequate and  totally misleading for visitors and foreigners at this huge station. At other stations with multiple entrances and exits, such as Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly Circus and Elephant & Castle, the exits are numbered and there are maps next to them. No such system has been introduced at Kings Cross. If someone accidentally gets out at the wrong exit, it can take long as an extra 20 minutes to get to where you need to be. Will you review the signage to make it clearer and more user friendly?

Written response from the Mayor

TfL will be installing new exit signage, with maps, throughout King’s Cross St. Pancras Tube station within the next few months. Since the recent major expansion of the station it has been TfL’s intention to implement this signage once local developments outside the station are completed.

 

Exit names rather than numbers are normally used at stations with fewer than four exits, such as King’s Cross St. Pancras. TfL would be happy to contact you to arrange a briefing on the new signage plan if this is of interest.

North & West London Light Railway

Question No: 2014/4340

Andrew Dismore

A North & West London Light Railway could utilise many existing and some old track beds, for example a two way light rail or tram to run from Finchley Central through Mill Hill East in the disused , (but still existing almost entirely) track bed of the Northern line extension, to Mill Hill Broadway Station (and possibly on to Edgware). People could then visit Brent Cross along the Thameslink, and travel on to St Pancras or through London as far as Brighton and including Gatwick Airport, and Luton. Such a solution could further provide an effective orbital link through Colindale, to Old Oak Common (linking with CrossRail). Will you consider this idea?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

Stirling Corner 4

Question No: 2014/4344

Andrew Dismore

You are replacing the crash barriers to the north of the roundabout; will you install barriers to the south, especially along the side of the road that fronts onto the fence of Elstree Park?

Written response from the Mayor

The replacement of vehicle restraint barriers to the north of Stirling Corner is being carried out as part of TfL’s capital renewal programme of life expired assets and is scheduled for completion by the end of March 2015.

 

The barriers between Stirling and Apex Corners are currently being reviewed to assess their condition and the need for any addition or removal of barriers. This process ensures that restraint barriers are provided only where they are needed. Works on this section will be combined with other renewal works and are expected to take place in around 18 months’ time.

Stirling Corner 5

Question No: 2014/4345

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? If not, why not?” Your written response being: “This is the 12th time you have asked this question. 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.”

bearing in mind that this junction serves Hertsmere as well as Barnet, will we see you honouring your pledge now, to cycle round the junction; and as we have just seen the welcome announcement of a 50 mph limit, can we expect shortly also to see the permanent 24/7 traffic lights local people want, and swift action on the need for pedestrian and cyclist improvements? Your  response  being “The findings of the trial to operate traffic signals on a full time basis will be made available shortly.  At the same time, TfL will bring forward information on the potential for any further improvement works at the roundabout.” Have you cycled round the junction yet?

your response being:

“Andrew, you are repeatedly asking the same question and I am repeatedly giving you the same answer. We also discussed this recently during the TfL Plenary on Wednesday 10 September. To reiterate the answer I gave then, “as soon as I have cycled round Stirling Corner you will be among the first to know”.

Boris, as you seem to be getting tetchy having repeatedly to answer this question, is not the answer for you ask yourself why I keep asking this question, which is because it is very dangerous to cycle round the junction until you get your finger out and do something to make it safer; and is the answer also for you to honour your pledge to cycle round the junction so you can see for yourself; and have you cycled round Stirling Corner yet?

Employment in the suburbs

Question No: 2014/4350

Andrew Dismore

Do you accept that there is little or no employment for professional people in the suburbs and what there is, is diminishing.   For example 700-900 staff are moving from the National Institute for Medical Research in Mill Hill into the Crick Centre in St Pancras and while most are keeping their jobs it is a loss of 700-900 jobs to the economy of Mill Hill, with no programme to attract an alternative employer or employers. A recent report has indicated that it costs £35,000 per annum to base a Civil Servant (but same could surely be true for any employee) in Central London versus £3000 to base the same individual in an office in Croydon. Do you accept the need to provide employment nearer to where people live, to reduce travel costs and time, and to support the economy in the suburbs. Will you revisit the plan for NIMR to rezone it for employment use as now?

Written response from the Mayor

Policies 2.6 – 2.8 and 4.1 of my London Plan recognise and address the distinct issues facing outer London including the need to expand and improve access to employment opportunities and to enhance its offer as a competitive business location with potential to reduce the need for longer distance commuting. The Plan currently promotes 11 Opportunity Areas in Outer London, which are expected to provide at least 77,800 jobs, with another 5 which lie partly in Outer London.

 

We do not have employment projections by sector (or indeed occupation) at borough level, however, overall jobs in outer London are projected to grow by 301,000 between 2011 and 2036 which equates to an annual average of around 12,000.

 

Within the strategic context set by the London Plan it is for Barnet Council’s Local Plan to identify future uses for specific sites. The NIMR site also sits close to Green Belt where new and intensive employment activities will raise policy issues. In the same borough at Brent Cross outline planning permission has been granted to create over 20,000 new jobs.

Andrew Dismore

Written response from the Mayor

The MPS is currently in discussions with the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) about the work it intends to carry out.

 

The MPS take allegations of discrimination or bullying extremely seriously and all such matters will be thoroughly investigated. This may result in disciplinary action against an individual or, if applicable, the instigation of a criminal investigation.

Written response from the Mayor

I GRADES

CAD 5192/20OCT (121 minutes)

Caller stated that female had been assaulted by her mother.  The Call was circulated and a unit assigned within 2 minutes of the call. The unit did not provide a time of arrival and resulted via their Mobile data terminal but then went off duty.  This therefore showed an extended and incorrect Time of Arrival. The CAD was resulted as a Non crime domestic report.

CAD 4401/06OCT (73.37 Minutes)

Call regarding theft of property. At the time of this call there were also 2 outstanding ‘Immediate’ response calls. This was then passed to the Patrol Sergeant and surrounding boroughs in an attempt to find a unit. The informant then left the location and travelled to Enfield which resulted in a delay in attending. The call was a civil dispute.

CAD 9402/01OCT (56.42 Minutes)

Broken down bus on a fast road therefore traffic units must deal as per fast road policy. Traffic unit assigned within 4 minutes with a travelling time from Palmers Green.  There was heavy traffic which resulted in a long response time for the traffic unit assigned.

 

S GRADES

CAD 10827/24OCT (1188.03 minutes)

Allegation of Criminal Damage.  The call was circulated however all units were dealing with a stabbing and a high risk missing person.  The Informant was happy for police to attend the following morning to report.  At this point a technical time of arrival  should have been added to stop the clock but this was not done which caused the long response time. The call was resulted in a crime report for Criminal damage.

 

CAD 9682/20OCT (1094.59 minutes)

Caller reporting their window had been smashed.   Informant later called back requesting an appointment.  An appointment was then made for the informant and the time of arrival given was when officers arrived on scene for the appointment.  This was resulted as a crime report for Criminal damage.

CAD 8179/15OCT (1003.19 minutes)

Man bitten by a dog. Units were assigned but required to divert to higher priority calls.  Informant contacted and requested to see police in the following evening to report via an appointment.  The time of arrival given is for when the officers arrived on scene for the appointment.

I GRADES

CAD 991/11OCT – TOO: 02:06 – I grade (Time 149.28)

Caller stated that there was a fight at the location.  Camden had no unit’s available and requested assistance from British Transport Police who were also unable to assist with a unit. The delays in assignment were due to another CAD where an Officer was assaulted. When police arrive on scene there was no trace of any fight and it was established the incident was linked to an earlier Robbery in Islington whereby the victim was taken to hospital. A crime report for Robbery had been completed.

CAD 1418/11OCT – TOO: 03:10 – I grade (Time 73.5 minutes)

Call stated that a male had attended hospital and ran out.  He was believed to be a self-harmer.  Camden had no unit’s available and requested assistance from Barnet  who also had no units to deal. Male was eventually found safe and well.  A Merlin report was completed.

CAD 7337/18OCT – TOO: 17:11 – I grade (Time 62.15 minutes)

Call stated a female robbed a homeless female.  Camden had no units to deal and a request was sent to surrounding stations for assistance.  No surrounding unit was available.  A unit was later assigned however then flagged down to deal with an unlinked incident where a male was bleeding from the head. When a unit arrived on scene there was no trace of a victim or informant.

 

S GRADES

CAD 4470/22OCT – TOO: 13:33 – S grade (Time 1256.22 minutes)

Caller reporting a male under section had gone missing from the location. Whilst police were still trying to assign the incident, a linked call had come through stating the male had returned.  This CAD was then scheduled for an appointment for an officer to attend and de-brief the male the next day.  The time of arrival on the CAD is for when the officer attends the appointment.

CAD 12151/31OCT – TOO 21:56 – S grade (Time 937.14 minutes)

This CAD relates to a police generated incident for an arrest enquiry which was incorrectly graded. The male was arrested on a linked CAD and the time of arrival place on this CAD was for when the male was arrested.  The male was wanted on warrant by magistrate’s court.  The call should have been an E grade rather than an S grade.

CAD 11568/31OCT – TOO 21:18 – S grade (Time 825.49 minutes)

Caller stated that she was concerned for her elderly uncle. Camden had assigned a unit however they were then diverted to an immediate response call.  The caller was contacted who stated she wanted to be present when police attended.  An appointment was made for the following day and the time of arrival given was when police arrived at the appointment.

Stop and search 1

Question No: 2014/4370

Andrew Dismore

further to Question No: 2014/3786

Of the stops and searches carried out in Camden in each of the last three months, a) how many and what percentage resulted in an arrest due to a reaction on the part of the stopped person  to the stop and search itself; and b) how many and what percentage resulted in an arrest due to something suspicious  being found in the stopped person’s possession?

your  response  being

“The data and recording method of stops and searches follows Home Office guidelines.  This does not allow for the identification of specific occasions when an arrest relates to the conduct of the person stopped, brought about by the search itself.

I can confirm that over the preceding three months, 96 per cent (230) of stop and search arrests in Camden related to the possession of the following articles: weapons, drugs, stolen property, or articles concerned in theft or criminal damage.”

Would it not be a good idea to record how often the arrest was due to the stop itself, and not due to anything found on the person searched; and how many stops did not result in any arrest?

Written response from the Mayor

The data placed in the public domain every month identifies the reason for arrest following stop and search, and where this reason differs from the reason for the search.

 

The number of arrests for reasons other than being in possession of items that are illegal, or connected to theft or criminal damage, is very small.   Futher, stop and search forms undergo closer monitoring by supervising officers, and local stop and search community monitoring groups conduct dip sampling of the forms.  In my view these processes provide an adequate safeguard but I keep this matter under constant review.

Regeneration of Edgware Bus Station

Question No: 2014/4439

Andrew Dismore

Of what do your proposals for the regeneration of Edgware Bus Station next year consist; on what does the scheme depend; and when will the proposals be the subject of local consultation?

There is a great opportunity at Edgware to improve the bus station for customers, make bus operations more efficient and generate revenue from improved commercial potential. At present, TfL is at an early stage of considering options and plan to start discussions with London Borough of Barnet early in the New Year. Public consultation, as part of the planning process, should start in the summer of 2015.

pedestrian crossing at the junction of Finchley Lane and the A1

Question No: 2014/4442

Andrew Dismore

When I previously raised the need for a pedestrian crossing facility at the junction of Finchley Lane and the A1, on Finchley Lane, you said it was matter for Barnet Council. They say that it is a matter for TfL and you, as your responsibility for the junction goes some way up the non TfL side road. Who is right, you or them? And will you now look again at the need for a crossing within 25 metres of the junction which I understand is in your sphere of responsibility?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

Bridge over the A1

Question No: 2014/4444

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? your  response  being:

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

TfL confirms adequate maintenance regimes are in place for the sections which fall under its responsibility. Access changes to the golf club are the responsibility of Hertsmere Borough Council.

I am aware that a meeting was arranged for 16 October between the Highways Agency, Hertsmere Borough Council, the London Borough of Barnet and TfL to identify how pedestrian provisions may be improved in the area. I have asked TfL to provide you with an update on this meeting.

As I have not received the report from TfL you promised will you now provide an update on the meeting on 16th October?

Written response from the Mayor

Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.
