  • Physical Legacy of the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    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.
  • Affordable Ticket Guarantees (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    This is not in any way to diminish what I think is your spectacular achievement, but it is just one story. My family got tickets for the Paralympics. We were unable to get any tickets for sessions at the Games that we wanted to go to. At the very last minute, at a pretty hefty price, we were able to go to the O2 to see the first Saturday - absolutely amazing men's gymnastics - but it was half empty. Why was that? This was the morning. It might have filled up in the afternoon, but in the morning.
  • Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Are you going to appoint a member of staff or even, indeed, more, to co-ordinate the engagement with young people because they need very special facilitation? I can understand you might not have something yet but I think it is very necessary.
