In September I published a report, Radically Normal, making recommendations for how the plans for the future housing on the Olympic Park can be improved. Will you endorse these recommendations and commit to ensuring that more, larger, high-quality family-sized homes are built to the highest environmental standards?

Richard Tracey (AM): Boris, you have heard the discussion in John Biggs' question about the Stadium and indeed Dennis Hone told us at the Budget and Performance Committee that he believed it would be 2015 or 2016 before the Stadium could reopen. Can I ask you as the Chairman of the LLDC as well as the Mayor, will you set an objective of opening it before that point? I quite agree with John Biggs and the point has been made elsewhere. It would be a bit shameful if we could not reopen it before Rio has completely finished its Olympics.

Is there a plan which is going to ensure all these things are placed back from the area that is potentially in danger? How do you actually, when you are doing that, speak to local residents and businesses who are in the high risk area and assure them that, just because you have not got public facilities there, that does not meant it is a no-go area?

Thank you. Now we've got Commander Shave there Chairman, I wonder if you can't answer this, perhaps he can. Does the Mayor expect next year, when he's going to get 240 for his transport initiative, for there to be a first call on police manpower, the extra officers going into the borough?
