Can you outline your vision for the LLDC, and in particular how it will benefit existing communities in East London?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

John Biggs (AM): A very simple question to start which is, in answering Caroline Pidgeon's question, do you have enough money to deliver your promises concerning the physical legacy of the Olympic Park?

Tom Copley (AM): Good morning, Mr Mayor. Boris Johnson (Chairman, LLDC): Good morning. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about community land trusts. I believe that in 2005 thousands of homes were promised to the people of east London as part of community land trusts. I would like to ask you first of all what progress is being made on delivering those promised homes?

Nicky Gavron (AM): I want to go back if I may to Caroline Pidgeon's question where you were talking about the level of affordable housing. There has always been a real concern that the brilliant and beautifully planned Park and its neighbourhood might become an enclave for relatively well-off people. It would be a real failure for legacy if it were not to deliver mixed and balanced communities. Now, 35% affordable homes is not a very high proportion. Could I drill down into what is meant by 'affordable'? I do not mind which of you answers.

Jennette Arnold (AM): Yes, thank you. My line of questioning to both you gentlemen is about the media and broadcast centres and about, if you like, the haste and the urgency that we have in this area about getting jobs and investment going in as soon as possible. We do not want to repeat the saga of the Stadium. So it is an answer from both of you. Can you confirm that in January 2013 iCity will be confirmed as the consortia for the legacy project of the media and broadcast centres?

Navin Shah (AM): I am actually thankful to Assembly Member Evans because he has picked up the issue I was going to raise about the wider benefits to Londoners throughout, in terms of lasting benefits with the legacy planning. May I please, Mr Mayor, ask you to work on a clear action plan to indicate how all Londoners will benefit, like the residents we are hearing for Mr Evans and like residents in the boroughs that I represent. Very clearly, there is an expectation and rightly so that the benefits should not be confined to just the whole six boroughs...
