#AssemblyTransport is investigating how London can be made a better city for walking and wheeling. That's why, today, Committee Members took a tour of Ilford with Living Streets to see several examples of typical London pavements and streets which do and don’t help to encourage walking.

#AssemblyPolice has responded to last night’s BBC Panorama programme. Read the statement in full: www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Marina Ahmad AM
Chair of the London Assembly
Police and Crime Committee
“Last night’s BBC1 Panorama programme will have sent a chill through the spine of any law-abiding Londoner.

“What appears to have been common practice at Charing Cross Police Station is shocking and I know my colleagues on the London Assembly Police & Crime Committee will want answers as to how this has been allowed to happen.

“We will be asking some tough questions when the Met appears before us at our meeting on October 16th.”

#AssemblyPolice has written to the Met Commissioner in response to the Met's A New Met for London Phase 2 (2025-28) consultation, calling for the plan to include a list of progress on commitments made from the first phase. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Marina Ahmad AM
Chair of the London Assembly
Police and Crime Committee
"The Met’s plans to cut the number of publicly accessible front counters from 37 to 19 is an example of where the Met has failed to deliver on a promise – ANMfL 1 made a commitment that “Each borough will have at least one 24/7 front counter”.

The Annex in ANMfL 2 makes no mention of this commitment. As stated in our letter to you on the closure of front counters, the Committee is left to question what other commitments will be scrapped when conditions become less favourable."

This morning, #AssemblyTransport has written to the TfL Commissioner, Andy Lord, about efforts to tackle a backlog of private hire licence applications stalling out. www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/w...

Elly Baker AM
Chair of the London Assembly
Transport Committee
“The Transport Committee asked for regular updates from TfL because it needed to be sure they were getting a grip on this issue. More than two months on, it is clear that hasn’t happened.

“Despite repeated requests for clarity on why the numbers of expired licences are ticking up again, the Committee has not yet had a good answer.

“TfL’s use of temporary licences is a sticking plaster, not a cure. Drivers’ livelihoods and wellbeing are suffering because TfL cannot get its act together – we think they deserve better.”
