  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Like other Assembly Members, I would like to join with adding my congratulations to both of you. It seems very appropriate in this week, when we have just celebrated the 100th anniversary of some women being given the vote and changes to the Representation of the People Act, to see both a female Commissioner and also yet another woman Deputy Mayor. I am very pleased to say that the Mayor has made that part of his modus operandi , it would be fair to say, in who he has appointed as his...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning to you both. I wanted to add my congratulations to both of you for your new appointments. I do remember watching the tragedy of Grenfell unfold because my son was just a week old and so we were watching the news all night long. I just commend you both for the courage and leadership that you showed through some of the difficult challenges that London has witnessed over the last year. I wanted to focus on some of the work that the LFB leads on youth engagement and how we get our young people involved...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Thank you, Acting Chair, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, I have some questions for you and, like my colleagues, let me add my congratulations to you on your appointment as the first female Fire Commissioner. Now, I heard the answers you gave to my colleague Assembly Member Russell’s questions about gender and so I want to ask now specifically about racial diversity. From the LFB’s monitoring data of December 2017, I see here that from the operational staff of 4,612, 606 were of BAME heritage: 13.14%. We will all know that that is quite woeful. Can I just...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. If we tried to paint a picture of the LFB in, say, eight years, 2026, could you paint me some big pictures of what the real differences will be, please?

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: First of all, let me add my congratulations on your nomination, Dr Fiona Twycross, as the Deputy Mayor and also your reappointment, Commissioner, to the post. I want to talk about the assistance given to the firefighters and to operational and non-operational staff after the tragic event of Grenfell, and ask what support was given to the fire service.

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you for that answer, but you will recall that one of the issues that was raised at the five-borough planning meeting was the legacy. Really my question is about what guarantees we are building in to ensure that facilities that are built really can have the revenue in order that they can carry on, and we are not left in a position with so-called `white elephants- around the place.

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Can I just press you: when you say "sign off" and "your assurance," we hear this, and people in Hackney and in east London have heard this time and time again, so can you just dig deeper? What do you mean? What guarantees are there that there will be a revenue stream and that these jobs that are created will stay local? I do not get a sense of what is happening and who is going to be leading. Will the LDA be leading on behalf of the Mayor to ensure that the legacy is longer than the Games?

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    The comments about Crystal Palace are welcome, but perhaps the Mayor would deal with this: do you not understand that residents of Bromley and Bexley feel aggrieved? Although safeguarding of Crystal Palace is good, they are likely to receive very little direct benefit in legacy terms, but are expected to contribute through their council tax for a number of years, whereas residents of areas outside London, which may have Olympic sites as firm parts of the bid, are not expected to contribute. What means could be achieved to seek greater equity for the residents of Bexley and Bromley on that...

  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Can I just take you round to the people. One of the riches of the city and one of the riches of the Games pitch is the diversity and the ethnic minority communities that are at the heart of this area of London. What guarantees do they have that they will be seen as part of a future in terms of jobs, or will they only be brought out to serve at the banquets?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you, Chair. Before I start, I just want to say that I never in my wildest dreams thought we were going to get to this stage. It is so good that we have made such progress, and I just want to say, "congratulations" to the 2012 team and the LDA. You have done so much work so fast and so professionally, and I think Londoners should be really proud of you. You are a class act, and we deserve to win next year. I am really very pleased with what I have heard today. On the legacy, we have...
