• Meeting date: 11 March 2015

John Biggs AM: I am very grateful for your answers to date. You will be aware, though, as you say - and this is a question to the Mayor - that this is a cross-party initiative by and large and you have stepped into the shoes of your illustrious predecessor, who was very clear that the Olympics were but a down payment on the wider regeneration of the area. You are saying quite a lot of things in support of that. I am happy by and large with what has happened in the Park. There are a few problems, which...

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, we all know that this cultural centre is a real objective of yours, but can you just drill down into this and convince us that it is really the best form of regeneration for the east?

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): I have five minutes to talk about skills. Would you agree with me that a highly skilled local population is key to the future success of Olympicopolis ‑‑ Boris Johnson (Chairman, London Legacy Development Corporation): Yes, of course. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): ‑‑ and a major driver in attaining the much-talked-about convergence across the Olympic boroughs and wider east London? Boris Johnson (Chairman, London Legacy Development Corporation): Yes. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): We heard in February, Mr Mayor, when you and the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced devolution of further...
