I have a letter here in my hand from the Leader of Camden Council who is speaking on behalf of Liberal Democratic/Conservative Partnership Administration, and that is what he says in his letter. I am happy to share that with you although I am really in a state of despair about what has happened here. Would you agree that one of the things that made the Croydon Tram Link Scheme happen was that the Conservatives on Croydon Council supported this project all the way through 15 years, up until it happened? That was one of the critical success factors in...

I think he was quoted in the report, and I am sure he will come in. Can I just move onto our Chairman's comments about building multi-story car parks on Potters Field?

John, in the waste strategy there is the specific proposal to establish a capital standard initiative to promote basically the very laudable aim of raising the standards of our street environment.

You've referred to the problems with this initiative. Without talking your way through the entire history again, John, which I'm sure you don't want to go through, can you say what you would have done differently if you were doing this again? And exactly how is it that an initiative that was supposed to be launched about now has only just been agreed by the ALG? What went wrong and what would you have done differently?
