GLA Side Roads (Hansard, 27 July 2000)

Lord Bowness
asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many roads in Greater London have been designated as Greater London Authority side roads. [HL3676]

§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)
The Greater London Authority side roads in each borough are designated in a series of Statutory Instruments as follows:
The GLA Side Roads (London Borough of Barking and Dagenham) Designation Order 2000 (SI 2000/1256);
The GLA Side Roads (London Borough of Barnet) Designation Order 2000 (SI2000/1257);
The GLA Side Roads (London Borough of Bexley) Designation Order 2000 (SI2000/1258);
78WA
figures are available; and what was the average weekly income, after housing costs, in each of the last five years for which figures are available for (a) the poorest tenth of all households and (b) the richest tenth. [HL3469]

§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Social Security (Baroness Hollis of Heigham)
The number of individuals living in households with incomes below half contemporary average (mean) was published in Table H1 ofHouseholds Below Average Income 1994–95 1998–99, a copy of which is in the Library.
The information on average weekly incomes is given in the table below. Analysis of expenditure patterns of the bottom decile suggests that income information for those in the bottom decile does not necessarily reflect their living standards. For this reason, figures for the bottom decile should be treated with caution. Users of HBAI statistics are encouraged to look at analysis of the bottom quintile (20 per cent), and so the income levels for this group have been additionally included in the table.

Lord Bowness
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, as a consequence of designation as Greater London Authority side roads, the Greater London Authority has to be consulted as the highway authority in respect of all applications for planning permission relating to properties fronting the designated length of these side roads. [HL3677]

§ Lord Whitty
No. Transport for London is not the highway authority for these side roads. It is the traffic authority only.
