Below are the answers to written questions submitted to the Mayor by Joanne in February 2014.
PCSOs
Question No: 2014/1045
Joanne McCartney
What plans do you have to rebuild the numbers of PCSOs in London?
Written response from the Mayor
PCSOs will continue to play a vital role in keeping London safe, but my budget prioritises the hiring of more regular constables with powers of arrest, and increasing the number of PCs in neighbourhood teams.
By reshaping the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) workforce with fewer chief officers and supervisors, we can afford to have 26,000 police constables – the most in MPS history, and many PCSOs have been recruited as regular officers so they have not been lost to the service.
The new Local Policing Model retains a dedicated named PCSO in every ward in London alongside a dedicated police constable, retaining that local link and providing recognisable faces within the neighbourhood.
These dedicated ward PCs and PCSOs will not be abstracted away to deal with other issues, as was often the case under the old SNT model.

Joanne McCartney
Using the HMIC definition of ‘frontline’ policing – how many police officers are currently in ‘frontline’ policing roles across the MPS? www.hmic.gov.uk/news/releases/release-007-2011/
Written response from the Mayor
The HMIC calculation of “frontline” officers is derived annually from the Home Office return which is compiled each March and submitted in May.
There is a half yearly return to the Home Office which does not provide the same level of detail but which the MPS has developed internally to provide an equivalent figure. The table below sets out the position at September 2013.
Police Officers (FTE) | |
Frontline | 26276 (85.8%) |
Non Frontline | 4,355 (14.2%) |
Total | 30,631 (100%) |
This table shows an increase from the position at March 2013 when the equivalent figures were 25,291 FTE (83.2%).

Drag racing on the North Circular
Question No: 2014/1122
Joanne McCartney
A constituent has contacted me with their concerns over drag racing on the North Circular. My constituent has heard that TfL’s traffic camera unit and the police are not sharing data that would apprehend perpetrators. Could you confirm whether this is the case, and if so ensure that TfL and the Metropolitan police work together to prevent further accidents along this stretch of road?
Written response from the Mayor
I am currently consulting on improving MPS access to TfL’s camera network. The consultation closes on 8th April 2014.
Details can be found at: https://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/policing-crime/consultations/cutting-crime-with-road-cameras.
I will ask MOPAC to look into this issue as part of it.

Rate of Tuberculosis
Question No: 2014/1123
Joanne McCartney
Recent figures shows that the rate of tuberculosis is triple the national average in a part of my constituency in Edmonton. What action can be taken via the London Health Board to combat the spread of tuberculosis in London, and to reduce the rate of tuberculosis in Enfield and Haringey?
Written response from the Mayor
Please see my response to MQ 635/2014 which describes the role of the London TB Control Board in taking a London-wide, multi-agency approach to tackling TB.
I am further assured that Enfield and Haringey have taken a collaborative approach in tackling TB and that across these two Boroughs TB notifications are declining.

Buses at Enfield Town
Question No: 2014/1124
Joanne McCartney
I have had a complaint from a constituent that there is inadequate bus capacity for school children attending school in Enfield Town. What is TfL doing to increase bus capacity at the end of school day in Enfield Town? What work is in occurring with London Borough of Enfield to address any capacity issues?

TfL regulary reviews bus network capacity. They will discuss this issue with Enfield Council. I would be grateful if your office could pass your constituent’s complaint on to TfL to assist in their review.

Lack of podium and microphone at Trafalgar Square Events
Question No: 2014/1125
Joanne McCartney
The Chair of the London Forum of Epilepsy Action has contacted me with regards to the Carol service event held in Trafalgar Square in December. They were dismayed to hear that a new rule has been introduced meaning no podiums or microphones are allowed at the event. This is the only opportunity that the London Forum of Epilepsy Action have to fundraise each year, and found with a lack of microphone the charity were unable to say their name or announce the next carol, which is unpractical. What was the reason for this rule change and will you reassess this rule to ensure that charities can fundraise effectively when in Trafalgar Square?
Written response from the Mayor
Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.

Trees in Southbury Road
Question No: 2014/1126
Joanne McCartney
A constituent has requested that trees be pruned outside his house in Southbury Road, and after much disagreement over who has the responsibility for these trees, TfL said they would prune them in August 2013. However, the constituent informs me that the tress have still not been pruned. Please can you ensure that these trees are pruned as soon as possible.
Written response from the Mayor
On the presumption that the trees in question are those on the grass verge at the junction of the A10 Great Cambridge Road and Southbury Road, it is correct that TfL agreed to prune the trees, over the winter months when they were dormant. Unfortunately this work was delayed and TfL apologises for this. These works will now be completed within the next few weeks.

London Translation Services
Question No: 2014/1127
Joanne McCartney
Following MQ 3346/2010, you informed me that you would liaise with London Councils about the proposal to pool translation services in London in order to save resources. Please could you provide me with an update on this issue.
Written response from the Mayor
Officers at the GLA liaised with officers from London Councils on this issue following my response to you of 13 October 2010. London Councils has no plans to ask boroughs to consider pooling their translation services. This would be a matter for individual boroughs to decide, as is the case with other shared services.

School places and Metropolitan Open Land
Question No: 2014/1128
Joanne McCartney
What discussions or meetings have you had with local councils about the need of additional school places and protecting Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land? Could you please also let me know when these took place?
Written response from the Mayor
Officers are drafting a response which will be sent shortly.
