Question for @SebDance (& @Heidi_LDN @ValShawcross): Is @TfL use of 2005-9 Baseline to measure @MayorofLondon 'progress' CHEATING? More Good Scrutiny from @NeilGarratt @LondonAssembly!
ICYMI @NeilGarratt asked @TfL Chief Safety Officer Lilli Matson about TfL's dubious use of 2005-09 Baseline to measure Vision Zero 'progress' at 11Jan22 #AssemblyTransport session. TBH Matson's response didn't inspire confidence
Garratt's line-of-inquiry amplifies evidence @MLiebreich sent to (then @LondonAssembly Transport Chair) @NavinShah2016 24Jan20. AFAIK @CityHallLabour-led Committee never published Liebreich's letter. Why not?It was a formal evidence submission! saferoxfordstreet.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-sa…
Liebreich's evidence letter submitted for 2020 Investigation gave detailed explanation for how 2005-09 baseline was a 'fudge' & concluded "w/o decisive action, @MayorofLondon Vision Zero targets – which I was among those pushing for – seems highly unlikely to be achieved".
ICYMI in addition to NOT publishing Liebreich's Letter, @CityHallLabour-led investigation didn't even mention his concerns about baseline in its Final Report. 2005-09 Baseline mentioned only ONCE when Committee RE-BROADCASTS dubious data to—🙀—PRAISE TfL! london.gov.uk/about-us/londo…
IMO 2020 @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport (@FloEshalomi then @NavinShah2016 then @AlizonMoore Chair) Bus & Tram 'Investigation' reflects @CityHallLabour Contempt for any meaningful scrutiny of @MayorofLondon @TfL EVIDENCED FAILURE to Monitor Safety Surface Transport Contractors
QED Assembly's 2020 Bus & Tram Safety Investigation PRAISES @TfL for delayed measures it was forced to take to protect Bus Drivers from #Covid19 BUT IS SILENT on ✅Statistically High Rate of Deaths among London Bus Drivers ✅ Middle-Door Boarding NOT a risk reduction action
QED Assembly's 2020 Bus & Tram Safety investigation cursorily notes @MLiebreich well-documented concerns about #CroydonCrash #CoverUp but buys @TfL 'story' completely—despite plenty of evidence to the contrary in the public domain months before publication.
Seems @GLAConservative thought 2020 London Assembly Transport Committee Bus & Tram Safety 'Investigation' so obviously Flawed, its Committee Members refused to endorse Report's findings. Not sure why (& very disappointed) @GLALibDems @GreenLondonAMs did! guardian-series.co.uk/news/18624218.…
Which begs question: Will @LondonAssembly #AssemblyTransport (@CarolinePidgeon Chair) @GLALibDems -led Investigation ✅ recommend @TfL change 2005-09 Baseline to something more Accurate/Honest (IMO) to measure True Performance of @MayorofLondon @TfL #VisionZeroLDN Programme?
