The sewage system is already unable to cope, with sewage regularly discharged into our waterways. Should the Mayor be forcing Ealing and other boroughs to build large numbers of flats until the sewage problem is resolved?<\/li><li>Q2. Ealing Council is proposing to \u2018de-designate\u2019 pieces of its Green Belt Land and \u2018Metropolitan Open Land\u2019. Does the Mayor agree with this idea?<\/li><li>Q3. Does the Mayor agree with building housing on land with Green Belt or \u2018Metropolitan Open Land\u2019 status?<\/li><li>Q4.The Mayor is forcing Ealing to build large numbers of housing units (21,750 over 10 years). This will generate large quantities of emitted and embedded carbon. Is this consistent with the urgent need to address climate change and achieve \u2018Net Zero\u2019?<\/li><li>Q5. Why are so many tower blocks permitted in London when <a href=\"https:\/\/ealingfoe.org.uk\/towers-or-terraces\/\">research<\/a> by University College London\u2019s Energy Institute shows that they use more energy per square metre than high-density low-rise equivalents.<\/li><li>Q6. Should opposition from the \u2018car lobby\u2019 be allowed to stop plans to reduce traffic, air pollution and climate change, by means such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, Ultra Low Emission Zone and parking constraints.<\/li><li>Q7. Does the Mayor consider that a policy of economic growth is desirable, where growth is defined simply as the increase in total size of the London economy, as opposed to per capita growth?<\/li><li>Q8. In assessing and supporting economic recovery and growth, will the Mayor use a measure (metric) based just on the financial value of goods and service consumed? Or will the Mayor use a metric that reflects human health, welfare, equality and happiness?<\/li><li>Q9. Around half of the world\u2019s wildlife has already been destroyed and the figure is far higher in London. What plans does the Mayor have to try and recover the situation?<\/li><li>Q10. Building large numbers of new housing units in London will inevitably have a negative impact on existing residents. Should developers and landowners be required to recompense communities fully, in accordance with the Polluter Pays Principle\u2019?<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1dd54ac2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1dd54ac2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56f7f665\" data-id=\"56f7f665\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c8ba0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29c8ba0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Feel free contact us if you have any queries about the suggested questions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7pm Thursday 2nd March, at Ealing Town Hall The London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, and members of the London Assembly are holding a People\u2019s Question Time at Ealing Town Hall.
