I organised a visit with Tulip Siddiq MP for Val Shawcross, Deputy Mayor for Transport and TfL officers to come to West Hampstead to look at solutions for the step free issue at the Jubilee Line tube station.

I met with City Hall planning officers to discuss HS2 matters that come within the GLA framework.

I again asked a number of Mayor’s questions about CS11.

I presented a petition to the Assembly against the proposed cut to the 13 Bus route.

I continue the campaign for a safe pedestrian and cycle crossing at Stirling Corner. TfL have confirmed to me that the designs for the scheme include a controlled pedestrian and cycle crossing on the southern side of the junction with the A1 and Barnet Lane, where pedestrians currently regularly cross with no such provision. They say these proposed measures will be taken to a public consultation in the financial year 2017/18, subject to confirmation of funding for the scheme and final approvals.

The launch date for the Northern Line night tube services is 18^th November; the Piccadilly Line night tube will be 16 December. I remain concerned about the potential impact on residents living close to the Tube.

I went on two of the free ‘Walk London’ guided walks sponsored by TfL, which are excellent and I think need to be publicised more widely. A further two weekends of guided walks are planned for 2017. ‘Winter Wanders’ will take place on 28-29 January ‘Spring into Summer’ will take place on 20-21 May. Further details and how to book will be on the TfL website nearer the dates.

I continue to chase the Brent Cross oyster card top up machine delay.

Finally, a full list of my Mayor’s questions on transport.
