I think that his blog is an example of what a GLA members blog should be like, regardless of whether you agree with him.<br /><br />I just wish he'd nip up to Barnet and explain to a few of our local Tories (no names mentioned) the benefits of having a blog and the benefits of trying to be a bit courteous in it, if you are an elected representative.<br /><br />His blog is one of the best sources of information about the various meetings at the GLA and for that I for one am rather gratefulRog Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-84728200570030983822009-10-20T20:22:15.965+01:002009-10-20T20:22:15.965+01:00Thank you Morris, I hadn't censored you.

Knowing the Chairman I have no doubt that it was conducted efficiently, but resent the part of your comment that follows. You are elected to represent the public, and to listen to what they have to say. If you do not like that then I suggest you quit and make room for somebody who will. It is not compulsory for you to have to spend your time raking in money from two public authorities if you are so bored with the customers, although I am sure that it must be much less fatiguing than doing a real job.<br /><br />With regard to Forest Road the ability of TfL to ignore fact is paramount here. They take no responsibility for the potential dangers from their bridge at Fairlop Station. As to a bus service, they continue to chant, parrot fashion, that there is no demand without even researching it. In addition to the facilities mentioned, there are the cemetery and crematorium that opened some 5 years ago, several sports grounds, and a large number of businesses.<br /><br />As to King George Hospital bus route 365 runs from Mardyke Estate to Havering Park via Romford - where you live. The bus from Ilford to King George via Gants Hill is the 396 - as a member of the public could have told you.<br /><br />The operation of the 462 is a disgrace and neither TfL nor Arriva can take any pride in it. TfL's definition of "on time" is a crackpot one that not only defies any reasonable logic, it also fails to recognise the public's perception. TfL needs to understand that a bus leaving before its scheduled time is early, and one leaving after that time is late. When the Transport Commissioner understands that, then he might begin to earn about half of the obscene £488,484 that he was paid last year. Another one who could be doing real work for about a quarter of the money.morris hickeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33236386.post-87778514549720671662009-10-20T18:26:28.280+01:002009-10-20T18:26:28.280+01:00Morris, I presume I didn't receive it, as I ha...Morris, I presume I didn't receive it, as I haven't censored you.
