London Assembly MQT – 29 January 2014 18th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly

Executive Summary

Tribute to Nelson Mandela When the definitive history of our time is written the name Mandela will stand taller than most - perhaps tallest of them all. Nelson Mandela understood the most powerful tool at his disposal was the power of forgiveness. He faced down the tyranny and oppression of apartheid by embracing unity, by rejecting division, by proving without rancour or recrimination that his way was the right way, the best way, and the only way to bring about change. Londoners, brought up in a city where the values of diversity and equality were celebrated not suppressed, forged a unique bond with Mandela and the struggle he embodied. He was without doubt the pre-eminent statesman of his age. No statesman in history can match him for resilience, for grace, and for forgiveness. A great heart is stilled. New Year’s message We have said goodbye to 2013, which was another exciting and memorable year for our city and the whole of the country. There was the birth of a new heir to the throne, baby George. We won the Tour de France and a British athlete, Andy Murray, triumphed at Wimbledon. We are also beginning to see the signs of a sustained economic recovery. As that recovery gathers pace, it is vital that we harness that recovery to build tens of thousands of new homes for Londoners and get hundreds of thousands of young Londoners into work. We have the opportunity areas, 33 brownfield sites around London - you can see what's happening in Croydon, Battersea, in the Royal Docks, in Greenwich. Let's not forget the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which reopens next year, a glorious green space that will reinvigorate a huge swathe of east London, bringing jobs and growth to benefit even more Londoners. There is excitement, the confidence in our city all around the world. We can use that recovery to deliver the homes, the jobs, the prosperity that Londoners need. So let's continue to strive and to work together to ensure the future success of our great city. Budget proposals to protect hardworking Londoners On 20 December, I published my draft 2014 budget for consultation. The budget proposals will see hard-pressed Londoners benefit from safer streets, investment in transport infrastructure and more affordable housing in the capital next year. The proposals also include a cut in my share of the council tax, for the third consecutive year.

This is my eighteenth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 5 December 2013 to 15 January 2014.

Section 60

The Future of Ticketing Response to the recommendation set out in the London Assembly’s Transport Committee’s report, The Future of Ticketing? The Assembly have requested a report on: any problems with contactless card security during the bus pilot; the performance of TfL’s customer service during the roll-out; the complete support offered to customers to help manage their contactless expenditure; how TfL will ensure that Oyster will remain the cheapest form of travel; and an update on Phases 3 to 5 of the Future Ticketing Project. Response

Since we successfully launched contactless payment card (CPC) acceptance on buses on 13 December 2012, more than 6.5 million journeys have now been made using an American Express, MasterCard or Visa Europe contactless payment card. I am pleased to say that usage continues to rise strongly and now an average of 33,000 bus journeys a day are paid for using the debit, credit or charge cards. Further information and data on CPC usage can be found on our website at www.tfl.gov.uk/transparency. There have been no technical issues since the system launched. Customers appear to be willing and comfortable in using a CPC to pay for bus fares, and no security concerns have been detected either by us, our contractors, or the Payments Industry as a consequence of this facility. The steady growth in usage – around 1,300 new cards every day – suggests that customers are comfortable with the technology. Before CPCs were introduced on buses, we launched a customer information campaign to advise customers to keep their card (Oyster or bank card) separate when presenting it to the card reader. This campaign has continued since the launch through a range of channels including messages at bus stops, on the real-time information displays and via emails to customers. Since the launch refunds requests for the incorrect card being charged have averaged less than three per day, out of around 4 million daily bus journeys paid for on Oyster. Other issuers are also promoting contactless payment and customer feedback on social media has been particularly welcoming of this new payment method. No issues regarding CPC acceptance have been reported back to us by bus operating staff. As you know, acceptance on the Tube, London Overground, DLR and Trams will launch this year, when London will become the first city in the world to fully integrate contactless payments cards into the fares system. A controlled pilot will take place over the next few months to test the system on these modes, including additional customer messages, to rectify any operational issues before the full launch. My teams continue to work closely with the payments industry to prepare for the next phases.

Policing and Community Safety Body-Worn Cameras On 19 December 2013, I joined the Police Minister Damian Green MP and the Sutton Town Centre Policing Team to see first-hand how body-worn video cameras can help officers on the beat fight crime. Sutton is trialling body-worn cameras to help tackle late night anti-social behaviour and accurately record responses to complex incidents. Body-worn video cameras are part of my vision, set out in my Police and Crime Plan, to invest in new technology to support frontline policing, so the Metropolitan Police Service can become even more effective at preventing crime and tackling disorder. A large upcoming trial of body-worn video cameras will be issued more widely across the Metropolitan Police and will also now include firearms officers, which is due to begin by April. Your Police,Your Neighbourhood On 14 January 2014, my Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Stephen Greenhalgh launched ‘Your Police, Your Neighbourhood’ a series of borough roadshow events which will give Londoners the chance to comment on recent changes to improve local policing and make neighbourhoods safer. One year ago, the Mayor’s Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC) and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) visited every London borough to listen to local people’s views on the Mayor’s draft Police and Crime Plan. The final plan was published in March 2013 and set the MPS the 20:20:20 Challenge, to reduce key neighbourhood crimes and cut costs by 20 per cent, while boosting confidence in the police by 20 per cent. Since then, the first phase of changes have been rolled out, which have focused on putting more police officers on the streets, recruiting to fill vacancies, and selling off under-used and expensive police buildings to reinvest in boosting police numbers. With an extra 2,600 officers in neighbourhoods by 2015, every borough will benefit from larger Safer Neighbourhood Teams and more police visible and available where and when they are needed. Meeting with Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick On 10 December 2013, the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime and I attended a meeting with AC Dick for an update on Counter Terrorism. Meeting with Tom Winsor, HMIC On 18 December 2013, I had a meeting with Tom Winsor, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary, to discuss the ongoing review on undercover policing. We also discussed crime recording and the work to develop the Police IT Company.

Funding for Victims On 8 January 2014, the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime and I met with the Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling MP, to discuss a number of issues including, most notably, the need for increased funding for victims in London. MOPAC/GLA, cross-party London MPs and Borough Leaders have been lobbying for funding to reflect the demand in London.

Transport TfL’s New Year fares to come into effect on 19 January 2014 I can confirm that fares across Transport for London services will now rise by less than RPI on average – 2.7 per cent – in 2014 and will come into effect on 19 January 2014. The amendment to previously announced fare changes follows the announcement by HM Government that National Rail (NR) fares have been held down to RPI only on average from the new year. No fares for TfL services will increase from those previously announced on 3 December, which means when factoring in the NR Travelcard fares, the average increase for London now represents a less than RPI increase. Due to the timing of the Government’s announcement and the need to implement a revised set of fares, the new TfL and London Travelcard fares will come into effect from Sunday 19 January 2014. Customers will be able to purchase tickets at 2013 prices until 18 January 2014. All Train Operators’ fare changes for travel within London will also be introduced from 19 January 2014. TfL’s revised Business Plan sets out how continued investment in the Tube upgrade, Crossrail and roads helps to support jobs and growth in the capital and boost London’s economy. It shows how £16bn of efficiencies and savings are being made across TfL to support the billions of pounds of investment in transport infrastructure over the next ten years. TfL will continue to identify and make savings and efficiencies that will keep fares down as well as developing the commercial strategy to meet revenue targets. Confirmation of £148m LIPs funding I have confirmed that TfL’s financial support to local transport projects through the Local Implementation Fund (LIP), will be held constant at £147.8m for the next three years to 2016/17. LIP funding has been protected through TfL's savings and efficiencies programme in recognition of the vital role the boroughs play in local delivery of my Transport Strategy, despite a reduction in TfL's Central Government funding. The funding will be used by the boroughs to support projects that will create safer cycling infrastructure, improve roads, high streets and neighbourhoods and tackle air pollution across London. These improvements form part of the wider work TfL is carrying out across London to deliver the recommendations of my Roads Task Force (RTF) to tackle the challenges facing London's streets and roads. This independent body brings together a wide range of interests and

expertise, united in the belief that the capital needs a long-term strategy for roads and a commitment to major investment in street management and urban design. Delivery timetable for improved cycling infrastructure announced On 9 December 2013, I set out the delivery timetable for the commitments in my Vision for Cycling. Speaking at the Construction Logistics and Cycle Safety event at City Hall, I reaffirmed my massive £913m programme to improve infrastructure and safety for cyclists in the capital. I have published plans for a Central London Grid – a massive network of fully-segregated main road cycle routes and back-street 'Quietway' cycle routes that will make cycling in Zone 1 easier and less intimidating. Many of them will run in parallel with the Tube lines. In addition, I have announced the first ‘Quietways’ outside central London, high-quality routes stretching well beyond the centre that will enable long-distance cyclists to avoid main roads. The Cycle Superhighway 2 will be swiftly upgraded. In the New Year, I will name the 33 major junctions in London which are in line for major upgrades to make them safer and less threatening for cyclists. In February, the winners of the ‘Mini-Holland’ competition will be announced – where four outer London boroughs will receive £100 million between them for dramatic and transformational pro-cycling change. And, also in February, I will announce the final shape of the new Superhighways, a huge network of mainly segregated and semi-segregated routes on London’s main roads, completed to higher standards than now. London and Paris share cycling expertise On 10 January 2014, the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë and I agreed to share expertise on improving cycling. With a growing number of people cycling in London and Paris, and both cities having hugely popular cycle hire schemes, we discussed how we are working to improve road safety and deliver better cycling infrastructure. It was agreed that London’s Cycling Commissioner, Andrew Gilligan, will visit Paris next month as part of a pledge to share best practice and ideas on cycling and road safety. Huge expansion of flagship Barclays Cycle Hire scheme Large parts of southwest London are now accessible by Barclays Cycle Hire with the latest expansion of the scheme now covering over 100km² of central and inner London – an increase of more than 50 per cent. Already the second largest cycle hire scheme in Europe, it now boasts an additional 2,000 new bicycles and around 5,000 more docking points, making popular London destinations like Battersea Park, Fulham, Hammersmith and Portobello Market accessible by hire bike. More than 90 London Underground stations (including the entire Circle line) and a number of major rail stations such as Clapham Junction, Liverpool Street, Paddington and Putney are now all within a short walk of a docking station, enabling more people to make cycling part of their daily commute. Around half the new docking stations are south of the River Thames making the scheme far more accessible to people who live, work or study in south London. This expansion will open whole new areas of the capital up to existing and first-time scheme users. Expanding the scheme will encourage even more people to take to two wheels in

London, whether those journeys are for work or pleasure, and we hope it will also help to deliver wider economic benefits to these areas Views sought on proposed changes to Congestion Charging scheme TfL is asking Londoners for their views on a number of proposed changes to the Congestion Charging scheme. Since 2011 the daily Congestion Charge has remained at £10 (£9 if paid using CC Auto Pay or £12 if paid the next charging day) with the cost of the charge falling in real terms over this period. TfL is now proposing an increase to the daily charge – to £11.50 if paid in advance (or on the day); £10.50 if paid using CC Auto Pay or £14 if paid the next charging day. The proposed increase to the charge will help maintain the deterrent effect of the charge in reducing unnecessary journeys and brings it in line with inflation when compared with other transport costs and public transport fares which have increased over time. Other changes that Londoners will be consulted on include enabling CC Auto Pay customers to pay via Direct Debit – in addition to the existing option of paying with a registered debit or credit card; the introduction of a simple online registration process for discounts; moving away from postal and phone registration and introducing reimbursements for charges paid via CC Auto Pay by NHS patients and staff. London’s first pure electric ‘emission free’ buses hit the streets A new era of emission free bus travel has now begun in London as TfL and bus operator Go-Ahead London started trialling the capital’s first two electric buses on routes 507 and 521. The new technology is particularly suitable for these short, busy commuter services which operate between Victoria, Waterloo and London Bridge stations. The electric buses have zero tail pipe emissions, resulting in lower carbon emissions. The trial will help TfL develop plans for greater use of electric buses in central London in the future, supporting my vision of a central London Ultra Low Emission Zone. The 12-metre single deck buses were built by Chinese manufacturer BYD Auto Ltd. Turnham Green to be a permanent stop on the Piccadilly line On 18 December 2013, I announced that Turnham Green will become a permanent stop on the Piccadilly line when the line is upgraded. The announcement followed a public consultation on the upgrade of the Piccadilly Line which received one of the largest ever responses to any held by Transport for London (TfL). Passengers at Turnham Green will also benefit from: a new fleet of District Line trains; faster and more frequent services due to signalling upgrades; and a 24-hour tube service on selected branches, including the Piccadilly line, being introduced at weekends from 2015. First anniversary of contactless payment cards on London’s buses TfL celebrated its first successful year of accepting contactless payment cards on all of the capital’s 8,500 buses. Since it was launched on 13 December 2012 more than 6.5 million journeys have now been made using an American Express, MasterCard or Visa Europe contactless payment card.

Acceptance on London Underground, London Overground, DLR and trams will launch this year when London will become the first city in the world to fully integrate contactless payment cards into the fare system. Latest performance figures show Tube reliability remains on track The latest performance figures from TfL show that overall delays to Tube customers continue to be reduced as London Underground remains on track to meet my commitment to reduce delays by a further 30 per cent by 2015. Figures for Period 7 of 2013-14 (15 September to 12 October) confirm that delays to customers have fallen by more than 15 per cent over the last 12 months. London Underground operated 98 per cent of all scheduled train services during Period 7 and has exceeded the service target in 16 out of the last 17 periods. There were 101.6 million passenger journeys on the network in the four-week period, exceeding the number made during the same period last year by 3.5 per cent. The continuing trend of long-term improvement on the Tube follows the success of the London Underground Reliability Programme, introduced in 2011. Time Capsule to be opened in 2063 seals London Underground’s extraordinary 150th anniversary year On 13 January 2014, the conclusion of London Underground’s 150th anniversary year was celebrated with the installation of a time capsule containing a range of items that will give Londoners in 2063 a glimpse of life on the Tube today. The time capsule, made from a salvaged District line signalling box, will be displayed prominently in the transformed Tottenham Court Road station, which is currently being redeveloped with a ticket hall enlarged to six times its current size, due to open in 2016. The contents were drawn together in conjunction with a panel of young Londoners working with the London Transport Museum’s Youth programme, who were also present as the capsule was sealed. Inner estuary hub airport will be taken forward On 17 December 2013, I welcomed the news that the Davies Commission have decided to take forward an inner estuary hub airport to provide much needed new aviation capacity for the UK. My team will work alongside the Davies Commission with a view to providing further conclusive evidence that plans for an inner estuary airport should be considered. Contractor appointed to prepare London Overground network for longer trains TfL has announced the appointment of construction and civil engineering firm Dyer and Butler as the contractor to lengthen and modify some of the station platforms on the Clapham Junction/Richmond to Stratford London Overground route. The work is part of a huge upgrade programme to deliver an additional 25 per cent capacity to meet increasing demand on the capital’s fastest growing railway. Since TfL took over the network in 2007, London Overground has become one of the UK’s most reliable rail services

and passenger numbers have quadrupled - from 2.5m in a typical 4 week period in 2008 to 11.2m. Work starts on £36m Upgrade of Vauxhall Tube station Construction work to transform Vauxhall Tube station will start in January next year with a £36million upgrade designed to support the growth and regeneration of the surrounding area. TfL is working hard to support a huge increase in jobs, businesses and homes in Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea, which is one of my 33 key Opportunity Areas. Key projects include extending the Northern line, transforming the gyratory system, making major improvements for walking and cycling, enhancing bus services. The upgrade at Vauxhall Tube station is an essential first phase of this strategy. Tottenham Hale station will be bigger and better Plans to transform Tottenham Hale into a landmark station, with greater capacity and step-free access for interchanging passengers has been announced by TfL. The plans are part of the Tube Improvement Programme and are part of a committed package of transport improvements, which includes a £54m investment from TfL. The proposed station improvements are funded through £20m from TfL’s Unlocking New Growth Areas fund and also include a contribution from my Recovery Fund. Tottenham Hale is located within the Upper Lea Valley area - which has been identified as a key area for growth – with plans to create 15,000 new jobs and 20,100 new homes. At Tottenham Hale specifically there is the capacity for 5,000 new homes and 4,000 new jobs and the vision is to transform the area in to a new district centre. The station will be a focal point of this new district centre and be an iconic gateway to Tottenham and the Upper Lea Valley. Since October 2012, TfL has also been working to remove the Tottenham Hale gyratory and return it to two-way traffic. A total of £34m will be invested in these improvement works, which will deliver significant benefits for all road users including pedestrians, as well as provide a new public space and a more accessible bus station to the north of Tottenham Hale station during 2014. Paddington station works completed ahead of schedule Work to rebuild the Hammersmith & City side of Paddington Underground station has been completed ahead of schedule. The works included the installation of lifts giving customers step free access from the new ticket hall to the Circle and Hammersmith & City line platforms. This side of the station has been rebuilt as part of London Underground’s station capacity programme and the station now boasts a new entrance from the Paddington Basin side of the station, a spacious new station concourse and ticket hall, better access to the mainline concourse, two new stairways, improved CCTV, extended platforms to accommodate new, longer air-conditioned trains. Over 60,000 people use the station every day and this is set to rise following the completion of the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines’ upgrade and the arrival of Crossrail in 2018, coupled with the regeneration of the local area which will create more homes and jobs. We have built a station fit for the future to provide sufficient capacity for this expected increase in demand.

IER selected to drive Source London forward TfL has announced that IER has been selected to take over the management and operation of Source London, the capital’s electric vehicle (EV) charge point network and membership scheme. The French organisation IER, a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group, will take over the scheme from summer 2014 and will be responsible for all ‘back office’ functions including handling enquiries and membership registrations from its UK offices. By working with new and existing Source London partners, IER aim to expand the charging network and provide a strong long-term commitment to EV drivers in London. IER will be looking to expand the number of Source London charge points to 6,000 by 2018 to meet the growing needs of EV drivers by working with existing partners to identify new charging locations or by attracting new partners to the scheme. IER has also proposed a broad range of customer services for Source London members and will be developing a new Source London website, a London based sales office, new mobile applications and platforms for engagement through social media. TfL warns motorists to avoid unofficial Congestion Charge websites TfL has issued a reminder to motorists to take extra care when paying the London Congestion Charge online and to make sure they use the official website: www.tfl.gov.uk/cclondon. There are a number of websites that offer to pay the Congestion Charge on behalf of drivers, but these websites are not official payment channels and they charge motorists a premium, in some cases as much as £6. These unofficial sites pay search engines to promote their businesses and ensure they are the top items when people use terms like ‘Pay Congestion Charge’. Around 1,000 people per day are, in many cases, unwittingly using unofficial sites to pay the Congestion Charge. There have also been a number of cases where these unofficial sites have failed to pay the Congestion Charge on behalf of their customers, resulting in drivers receiving a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from TfL for non-payment of the Congestion Charge. Route 390 start services with New Buses for London On 7 December 2013, route 390 became the fourth in the capital to be served entirely by New Buses for London. A 24-hour service operated by Metroline, route 390 runs between Notting Hill Gate and Archway, via Queensway, Lancaster Gate, Marble Arch, Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road, Euston, King’s Cross and Tufnell Park. During peak hours, 21 of the new buses are in passenger service to carry the 18,400 people who travel on the route each day. The next route to be converted, the 148 – a 24-hour route - is operated by London United and runs between Camberwell Green and White City. During peaks hours, 25 of these state of the art buses will be in passenger service to carry the 22,500 people who travel on the route each day.

Travel safely at night and plan your journey ahead this festive season TfL’s transport network is currently carrying more people, more reliably, than ever before, and over the quiet festive period over 1,000 people carried out essential engineering works on the London Underground, DLR and London Overground. TfL is increasing capacity on the Tube by 30 per cent through new trains, signalling and track and the rebuilding of key stations. The quiet festive period will enable TfL to carry out essential works with less disruption to customers and to keep London moving. This will be third year that Diageo provided free travel on New Year’s Eve so that festive party goers could get home safely. Free travel was made available between 23:45 on 31 December 2013 and 04:30 on 1 January 2014 on the Tube, buses, trams, DLR, and until last trains on London Overground. TfL and its suppliers have taken on more than 4,000 apprentices since 2009 London's Transport Commissioner, Sir Peter Hendy met London’s future transport workers at an apprentice networking event that brought TfL and its supply chain apprentices together for the first time. More than 4,000 apprenticeship roles have been created by TfL and its supply chain since April 2009, in support of my campaign to create 250,000 apprenticeship roles by 2016. TfL is investing billions of pounds to modernise and improve London’s transport network to support more jobs, homes and economic growth in the capital and across the UK as a whole and to do so, it is essential that it invests in a highly skilled workforce for now and the future. TfL is committed to creating apprenticeship and graduate roles to support future transport workers. New £500m loan facility to support to the Crossrail project The European Investment Bank has agreed to provide up to £500m to TfL under a new corporate facility to support the latest step in Crossrail’s development. The facility will be used for financing a fleet of new high-capacity air-conditioned trains as well as a new maintenance depot. Finance contracts were signed in London in December by Steve Allen, TfL’s Managing Director Finance and Jonathan Taylor, European Investment Bank Vice President. Crossrail is set to add vital new capacity to London's transport network and will create thousands of jobs all over the UK. We welcome the EIB's commitment to Europe's largest construction project which is delivering a brand new world class subterranean railway line on time and on budget. City of London agrees support for Crossrail Art Programme The City of London Corporation has given a major boost to Crossrail’s ambitions to deliver a world-class artistic legacy to London, through a funding agreement it will match fund 50 per cent of The Culture Line, a permanent exhibition of large-scale art works across seven London Crossrail stations, designed in collaboration with London’s leading art galleries. The artworks will be permanently integrated into new stations at Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road, Farringdon, Liverpool Street, Whitechapel and Canary Wharf. It is

hoped they will deliver inspiration and pleasure to London commuters for generations to come and become a destination for art-lovers world-wide. Congratulations as David Waboso, LU, is awarded a CBE David Waboso, Capital Programmes Director for London Underground, has been recognised with a CBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list. David was appointed LU’s Director of Engineering in 2005 following a spell at the former Strategic Rail Authority, where he was an executive director. Since then, he has led the largest upgrade in LU’s history with major improvements already completed, including the installation of new signalling on the Jubilee and Victoria lines and new trains on the Victoria and Metropolitan lines.

Regeneration, Enterprise and the Economy Super Connected Cities On 5 December 2013, I launched the first phase of London’s Superconnected Cities Plan across six boroughs: Redbridge, Sutton, Croydon, Enfield, City of London and Westminster, before opening it to the rest of London in March 2014. The funding is part of the Government’s ‘Super-Connected Cities’ initiative, announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which will support and enable improvement of high speed broadband capacity and access in 22 cities nationwide. The London Superconnected Cities Plan is largely focussed on a demand led voucher scheme to encourage the take up of ultrafast broadband amongst high growth SMEs in London and provision of free wifi in London public buildings and galleries. The scheme underpins my aspiration to provide London businesses with the digital infrastructure they need to realise their full economic potential, in order to drive jobs and growth in the capital and allow them to compete more efficiently in today’s fast-paced global market. Outer London Fund – Harrow Town Centre On 13 December 2013, businesses in Harrow Town Centre came together and voted to create a Business Improvement District (BID). The BID will see more than £1.8m invested in the town centre over the next five years ensuring the further improvement of its look and feel and encouraging more shoppers through events and promotion. The work involved in developing the Harrow BID has been supported by my Outer London Fund. Outer London Fund – North Finchley In December 2013, physical improvements to the Grand Arcade in North Finchley started, which will bring empty shop units back to life. The units will be run for one year by the North Finchley Town Team, an independent group of local residents and traders, set up through my Outer London Fund. North Finchley is receiving £1m in total to improve the cultural offer, boost trade and renew important outdoor spaces and elsewhere in the town centre public realm improvements are nearing completion

Outer London Fund - Brentford On 16 December 2013, the ‘Brentford Works’ project launched. This project forms part of my Outer London Fund investment in Brentford and offers free use of an empty shop on Brentford High Street to local start-up businesses. It is focussed on creating a hub to network local businesses and community initiatives, reviving trade on the high street and bringing new vitality to Brentford. Working with the local High Street Market Group, the shop is now opened every day by a start-up cafe business and home to regular workshops including community bike repair events. Blueprint for a revitalised Southall On 11 December 2013, Ealing Council and I published the draft Southall Opportunity Area Planning Framework (SOAPF) - the planning, regeneration and design guidance that will lead to the creation of 6,000 new homes and up to 3,000 jobs. Southall has been identified as one of the parts of London best positioned to secure the wider economic benefits that Crossrail will bring. Southall will be only 18 minutes from Central London when Crossrail, a fast new railway service connecting the outer suburbs to the heart of the city, opens in 2018. The framework outlines the opportunities that exist to ensure Southall uses Crossrail to become one of London’s most dynamic areas. Plans are well under way to bring social and economic improvements to Southall. Planning permission has already been granted for the redevelopment of the former Southall Gas Works site which will create 3,750 new homes for Londoners. The scheme will also include a school and shops creating 1,000 permanent jobs. The first homes in the new neighbourhood are anticipated to complete in 2019, the year after Crossrail opens. Sports stadium could be catalyst for transformation of Old Oak Common Old Oak Common is currently one of the most deprived parts of London and I have been working with Hammersmith & Fulham, Brent and Ealing Councils on plans to transform the area into a thriving new district with up to 24,000 new homes and 50,000 jobs linked to plans to build a ‘super hub’ High Speed 2 (HS2) and Crossrail station by 2026. On 13 December 2013, Queens Park Rangers Football Club and their partners, Stadium Capital Developments, unveiled plans for a new stadium in the heart of the regeneration area at Old Oak Common, a 195 acre, semi-industrial site between Harlesden and Acton in west London. The new 40,000 seat sports stadium could be a catalyst for the long-term transformation of Old Oak Common, helping to create tens of thousands of new homes and jobs. Visit to site of BNP Paribas development at Kings Cross On 8 January 2014, I visited the Kings Cross regeneration area, where Europe’s leading real estate and property advisor is constructing its new British headquarters. In a major boost for London’s position as a global financial powerhouse, French company BNP Paribas Real Estate is the latest firm that intends to put down roots at Kings Cross. Kings Cross is one of 33 Opportunity Areas we have identified with significant capacity for new housing, commercial and other development. The area has recently benefitted from a £550m

upgrade, with the original station building and its platforms overhauled and a spectacular new western concourse constructed. Passengers can travel to Paris from London in just over two hours. The redevelopment of the station area has been a catalyst for one of the largest regeneration schemes in Europe, with 67 acres of brown field land being redeveloped to create eight million sq ft of offices, retail and 2,000 new homes and a 75,000 sq ft public space. Long Term Infrastructure Investment Plan for London I have approved the allocation of £200,000 for the delivery of the Interim Report for the Long Term Infrastructure Plan for London.

Housing Plans to construct 335 homes at Elephant and Castle On 19 December 2013, I approved plans to build 335 new homes including 65 shared ownership flats at Elephant and Castle. The scheme will see developer Englewood Limited construct a 41-storey block on the site of Eileen House, Newington Causeway, close to Elephant and Castle. A public square will also be built, together with a retail element at the ground floor of the development and parkland. The Ministry of Sound nightclub raised concerns that residents of the new development might complain about noise disturbances from the club. In response, the developer has altered their original design to include acoustic glazing, sealed windows and internal ‘wintergardens’. Royal Victoria Dock I have delegated authority to the Executive Director of Housing and Land to enter into a Collaboration Agreement between GLA Land & Property Ltd and the Royal Docks Management Authority for the purpose of developing a ‘floating village’ in the Royal Victoria Dock after presenting detailed Heads of Terms to the Housing Investment Group for consideration.

I have approved revenue expenditure to deliver the project of up to £270,000. Disposal of Land at 5 Limeharbour I have authorised the disposal of GLA Land & Property Ltd’s freehold interest in 5 Limeharbour to Telford Homes Plc for the agreed price.

Environment Call for recycling spirit to help save the capital £3.75m In December 2013, I urged all Londoners to recycle their yuletide waste rather than sending it to landfill saving the city an estimated £3.75m.

Over the two week Christmas and New Year period, London generated an estimated extra 29,000 tonnes of household waste materials, the majority of which could be recycled. It is estimated that Londoners: used enough wrapping paper to stretch 55,000 kilometres or pave three journeys to Antarctica; produced enough foil waste to cover more than a third of the city; and threw out around 2,000 tonnes of glass. Recycling also reduces carbon emissions. Recycling glass generated over Christmas alone, from champagne and sherry bottles to mincemeat and cranberry sauce jars, could prevent an estimated 630 tonnes of carbon emissions, the equivalent to taking 195 cars off the road for a whole year.

Social Inclusion and Health Top institutions drive to improve accessibility for country's 12m disabled people Improving accessibility for the country’s 12million disabled people should become a requirement of all built environment courses at universities and colleges, six leading professional institutions have announced. Following International Day of Disabled People on December 3, built environment institutions including The Royal Town Planning Institute, The Royal Institution of British Architects and The British Institution of Facilities Managers have signed up to the Built Environment Professional Education Project. The success of London 2012 ‘the most accessible Games ever’ has stimulated a drive to ensure that all buildings, places and spaces are designed inclusively in future. The project is being funded by Department for Work and Pensions, Greater London Authority and Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. Within 10 years nearly one third of all built environment professionals will be proficient in inclusive design. Deputy Mayor of Hargiesa, Somaliland On 19 December 2013, my Deputy Mayor, Victoria Borwick, hosted Mr Abdiaziiz Hashi, the Deputy Mayor of Hargeisa, Somaliland, at City Hall. Mr Hashi visited London as part of a programme of building links between Hargeisa and major UK cities. Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity Dinner On 15 January 2014, my Deputy Mayor, Victoria Borwick, attended a Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity Dinner in St James’s in the presence of HRH the Princess Royal.

Education and Youth Plans to build free school in Bermondsey On 19 December 2013, I approved plans to construct a free school in an area of Bermondsey with a chronic shortage of school places. The scheme will include a 19-storey apartment block comprising 158 homes - also much needed in the borough.

The site, which is currently low-intensity industrial use, will now provide a permanent home for the 450-place free school and nursery as well as a sixth form for an additional 60 pupils a year. Outside of school hours, the sixth form will also provide space for a local community group.

Olympic and Paralympic Legacy and Sport London Legacy Development Corporation’s inaugural Apprentice Awards More than 60 apprentices were honoured for their hard work in transforming Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at an awards ceremony at City Hall on 18 December 2013. London’s largest group of apprentices on a single site were applauded for their accomplishments at LLDC’s inaugural Apprentice Awards. Close to 200 people attended the event to see the awards presentation for which I recorded a personal video message. The presentation was followed by a rendition of ‘Legacy’, a poem written and performed by Jolade Olunsanya, who was shortlisted for the Young Poet Laureate for London. Aquatics Centre On 9 December 2013, the London Legacy Development Corporation handed over the Aquatics Centre to its operator Greenwich Leisure Limited (GLL). The 628 panes of glass and external doors have all now been installed in the Zaha Hadid designed venue and on 13 December 2013 the new look Aquatics Centre was unveiled. The internal fit-out will now take place by GLL ahead of re-opening in March 2014. The venue is set to accommodate a mixture of elite and community sports to provide a lasting legacy on the Park. New primary school confirmed for Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park On 12 December 2013, it was announced that East Wick - one of the new neighbourhoods set to be built on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – has had its first school confirmed. The school will be run by Mossbourne Community Academy and will open in 2015. The school is one of three planned as part of the development of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Hackney Council recognised the need for a school in the new neighbourhood and worked with the London Legacy Development Corporation to secure funding from the Department for Education. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to help London become digital world leader On 19 December, I unveiled my ‘Smart London plan’ which sets out how the transformation of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park into thriving new neighbourhoods provides a unique opportunity to showcase how digital technology can improve the way we experience cities. The aim is to use the Park as a testing ground for the use of new digital technology with transport systems and energy services. New technology would potentially be used to help people planning to visit the Park and on new Park transport schemes like electric bikes or electric car charging points. Smart technology is already being used to provide zero carbon renewable energy on the Park, and it would also be used to track residents energy use so that they would be able to easily find out whether simple changes in behaviour might allow them to run their homes in cheaper and more energy efficient ways.

The Park has already secured the presence of iCITY – a one million square foot digital quarter for London that will support the growth of London’s technology sector. iCITY is underpinned by the most advanced digital infrastructure in Europe - almost unlimited bandwidth connectivity, the highest capacity power, and London’s highest capacity data centre delivered by Infinity. It was also recently announced that University College London would work with the GLA on plans to bring a new centre for culture and heritage, a design school, a new biotech hub and an educational technology centre, as well as a space for entrepreneurs on the Park. Balfour Beatty awarded Olympic Park Stadium transformation contract On 6 January 2014, it was announced that Balfour Beatty Group Limited had been appointed as lead contractor to carry out works to the Stadium in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The E20 Stadium Partnership, set up between the London Legacy Development Corporation and Newham Council, awarded the £154million contract to Balfour Beatty to turn the Stadium into a fantastic multi-use venue. The Stadium will be used for sporting, cultural and community events and becomes home to West Ham United Football Club from 2016. This summer Balfour Beatty was awarded the contract to convert the Stadium roof and will now lead the remainder of the transformation works of the Stadium including constructing the warm-up track, spectator and hospitality facilities, and the external landscaping. Development of major new education and arts centres on Olympic Park On 4 December 2013, I welcomed the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s pledge in the National Infrastructure Plan to support the creation of a major new higher education and cultural district on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The ‘Olympicopolis’ project is destined to create ten thousand jobs and boost the UK economy by billions of pounds. The Chancellor and I, together with the London Legacy Development Corporation, have agreed to work together on ambitious plans that would potentially see two world class institutions - University College London and Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) - build new sites adjacent to the Stratford waterfront, on land between the Stadium and Stratford station. It is projected that the cumulative effect of these plans will generate an extra 10,000 jobs in the Park and an extra £5.2 billion of economic value from the area, contributing an additional £99m in tax revenue per year.

Culture and Events New Year’s Eve Fireworks The dazzling New Year’s Eve Fireworks, in partnership with Vodafone, offered the ‘world's first multi-sensory fireworks display’ where an array of fruit flavoured mists, bubbles and snow were dispersed into the crowds along the banks of the Thames. Over 250,000 people attended with an anticipated visitor spend of approximately £30 million to the local economy. The BBC had viewing figures of 13.7 million making the 11 minute spectacle the biggest average TV audience in 2013 and was watched by millions around the world, promoting London and highlighting our capitals premier position on the global stage.

Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree Lighting Up Ceremony On 5 December 2013, my Deputy Mayor, Victoria Borwick, attended on my behalf the annual Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree Lighting Up Ceremony and the subsequent official Reception that followed. The Christmas Tree is given by the people of Oslo to the people of the United Kingdom each year in the recognition and remembrance of the two nations fighting alongside each other in World War Two. New Lighting Initiatives From 6-9 December 2013, a representative from my Culture Department attended the City of Lyon’s annual ‘Fete Des Lumieres’ (Festival of Lights) and met with officials from France and other cities across Europe to explore the effectiveness of world-class lighting initiatives in place-making, strategic cultural tourism strategies and wider economic development. London Assembly’s Small Theatres Investigation On 12 December 2013, my officers attended a roundtable to discuss responses to the Centre Stage Report - an investigation into the challenges facing small theatres across the capital. This meeting was convened by the London Assembly’s Economic Committee and sought to open conversation across the sector and highlight urgent issues such as the need for investment and advocacy for the role of local arts provision. Gigs – young buskers perform at First Capital Connect stations Former competitors from Gigs – my young buskers competition – performed for Christmas commuters at First Capital Connect stations in December 2013. Throughout the year, my Gigs team provide hundreds of talented young Londoners with unique performance opportunities to develop their skills, reach new audiences and take their first steps in the music industry. Gigs is now London’s biggest free music festival and the largest youth music competition in the UK. I am looking forward to unveiling this year’s competition soon. London, home of menswear competition On 3 January 2014, I launched a new competition to promote London’s booming menswear industry, which contributes £10 billion to the UK's economy and is growing at such a rate that it is predicted to overtake womenswear sales by 2016. London not only has an unrivalled 400 year menswear heritage but the capital kicks off the men’s fashion calendar every January with London Collections: Men, a showcase of the best home-grown and international designer talents, which I support through the British Fashion Council, and attracts worldwide media coverage of over £40 million. The competition promotes three up-and-coming London based designers via tube posters and online, celebrating three iconic styles that London has made famous: the three-piece suit, the brogues and tartan (via the Duke of Windsor and Vivienne Westwood) – and encourages Londoners to choose their most stylish area of London. London Boat Show On 7 January 2014, my Deputy Mayor, Victoria Borwick, attended the London Boat Show at Excel, East London, as a guest of the British Marine Federation.

Volunteering Team London Ambassadors 77 Team London volunteers provided assistance to members of the public wishing to pay their condolences to Nelson Mandela, volunteering at Trafalgar Square, the Garden of Remembrance at Parliament Square and at St Martins in the Field. Team London Ambassadors also returned to the streets of London over the Christmas period, with the return of the Visitor Welcome programme. Over 170 trained volunteers assisted visitors and Londoners in travel hubs and busy shopping areas – with 80 stationed at Covent Garden, St Pancras International and Gatwick Airport and a further 90 providing information at major stations including Charing Cross , Waterloo, and Victoria in addition to hot spots Westminster Bridge, Trafalgar Square and Victoria Embankment on New Year’s Eve. Team London Employment Programme Team London recently launched a tendering opportunity as part of the Greater London Authority’s European Social Fund (ESF) Co-Financing programme, for a Team London Employment, Education and Training programme. The programme, running from April 2014 until September 2015, will support Londoners aged 16+ who volunteer at Team London/Team London-approved events and who are not in employment, education or training with training that leads to secure sustained employment, education or training (EET). The project will track the EET engagement until it has been sustained for a minimum period of 26 weeks. Up to £200,000 of funding is available for this opportunity, provided by the GLA’s Team London and co-financed by ESF. More information can be found on the Team London website http://volunteerteam.london.gov.uk.

GLA Organisation and Budget Budget proposals to protect hardworking Londoners On 20 December, I published my draft 2014 budget for consultation. The budget proposals will see hard-pressed Londoners benefit from safer streets, investment in transport infrastructure and more affordable housing in the capital next year. The proposals also include a cut in my share of the council tax, for the third consecutive year, putting me on course to deliver my manifesto commitment of a 10 per cent reduction in council tax during the second term administration. Since elected, I have overseen a reduction in my portion of the council tax equivalent to 24 per cent in real terms. Under the previous administration there were eight years of continued increases in the Greater London Authority (GLA) precept totaling 152 per cent.

GLA and MOPAC Human Resources Shared Services I have approved the GLA’s entering into arrangements for delegation by MOPAC to the GLA of MOPAC’s Human Resources functions under section 401A of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (GLA Act).
