#AssemblyEnvironment has written to the Secretary of State for Transport regarding the expansion of Heathrow airport. The letter raises significant concerns with the environmental impact of the proposed expansion. Read more: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...
Leonie Cooper AM Chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee “The proposed expansion for Heathrow Airport raises a number of serious environmental concerns. “The impact of aircraft noise on many Londoners’ quality of life is already too great, and any expansion would cause significant additional noise, air quality and climate impacts. “Experts highlighted the risk that an expansion could reverse the recent improvements to air quality through schemes such as the ULEZ for example. “As London works towards the Mayor’s target of significantly reducing carbon emissions in the city, we heard that the expansion goes against this target.”

#AssemblyPolice has today summonsed the Mayor of London to appear before it in December and answer questions on the Met’s draft Estates Strategy, and give reasons for the delay in sharing the draft with the Committee. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...
Marina Ahmad AM Chair of the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee “For years, the Police and Crime Committee has called for updates on when the Met’s Estates Strategy will be ready to be scrutinised. “The Police and Crime Committee has constantly been told that it will be available in due course, yet we are still to see the draft document. “However, it emerged in November that members of the London Policing Board – a board set up in response to the Casey Review – had been given sight of the draft document, and the opportunity to provide feedback on it, before the directly elected Police and Crime Committee Members.”

The Chair of #AssemblyTransport, Elly Baker AM, has issued a statement in response to the closure of Zipcar in London. Read the response in full: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...
Elly Baker AM Chair of the London Assembly Transport Committee “There is currently a patchwork approach to car clubs in London and they are failing to reach their full potential. This makes London a very hard city for car club operators to work in and could be one of the reasons for the closure of Zipcar. We need to see action from Transport for London (TfL) to establish a pan-London policy on car clubs to enable a more even distribution of car clubs throughout London, make them easier for Londoners to use and raise awareness.”

#AssemblyPlanning has published its report into the increasing power demand of data centres, which is a significant reason for new housing delays in London. Read the report: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...
James Small-Edwards AM Chair of the Planning and Regeneration Committee “London is at a critical moment, with energy capacity becoming a real constraint on both housing delivery and wider economic growth. “Through this investigation we heard from councils, developers and residents about the delays, uncertainty and long-term risks posed by ongoing grid constraints. As demand for power rises, particularly from large energy users like data centres, we need a clear, strategic and long-term approach. “The recommendations we’ve set out are an essential step towards managing these pressures fairly and ensuring London has the infrastructure it needs to support new homes and a growing economy.”
