  • Neighbourhood Policing Changes

    • Reference: 2012/0021-2
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Joanne McCartney (Chair): Yes, I think we are going to have to move on now. Mayor, another pledge you made was to set up safer neighbourhood boards which was on a borough basis and you were going to amalgamate community police engagement groups, the Independent Custody Visitors Schemes and the Metropolitan Police Service Independent Advisory Groups. Steve, you wanted to ask some questions on this. Steve O'Connell (AM): This is a subject that is interesting a lot of people out there. Many of us spend probably too many hours on consultative groups and panels and the questions being asked by...

  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you. Following on from Navin, a very good question actually, many of us have a problem with our Safer Neighbourhood strengths, and it is not just in Navin's ward. Your offer, Mr Mayor, for that information could well open up floodgates, so be careful what you wish for.

  • Neighbourhood Policing Changes (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Richard Tracey (AM): Mr Mayor, this is really a work in progress, as I understand it. I mean, you have not spelt out a great deal of detail to Steve O'Connell. This was something that was in your manifesto but you are intending to develop this over the next year or two years?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Does that include taking advice from the people on Lord James of Blackheath's team who had to bail out some of the consequences of the Dome? The police were involved in that.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    The trouble that I have is that the more one departs from basic commercial practice, when we fall into public sector practice, the greater the risk, history tells us, of budget overruns.

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can I come, Sir Roy, back to a point that Mr Higgins made in relation to our earlier discussions? I am concerned about the extent to which bottom up budgeting is really being regarded as being acceptable at all. Would you not accept that one of the lessons I think that we have learned from projects like the Dome and other public sector projects is that, by and large, you should start from the revenue generation figure, and be very reluctant about bottom up budgeting, because that is where you get `creep'? If you have the revenue regeneration figure as...

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    How great is the budget for this security process, during the build phase of the building site?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    ): I am grateful for that. When we looked at past history, things like Wembley and the Dome, one thing which tended to cause further increases in budgets was, regrettably, elements of fraud, sometimes sub-contractor fraud, and a lack of control over sub-contractor costs. What lessons have we learnt? What systems are being put in place to bear down upon that in a way which did not happen, perhaps, in some of those other projects?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So, at this moment, the total budgeting costs for security are approximately £1.4 billion then, if one conflates the two figures?

  • Potential for Further Budget Increases (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Yes, but on top of that is the £600 million for the Metropolitan Police?
