  • Healthy Streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation

    • Reference: 2017/3379
    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    How will you deliver the Mayor's vision for healthy streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC)?
  • Healthy Streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?
  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year? Can you update us on what work has been done on that?
  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you. I was pleased to hear about the work you have commissioned on intensification because of the point that my colleague Nicky Gavron [AM] made about employment in industrial land.
  • Land Assembly (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning. This is of course the biggest regeneration project in Western Europe. To quote somebody you know in the property industry, you are trying to build a spacecraft with a budget that my residents, some of them, spend on their children’s wedding. That was one that I heard recently. You are trying to do three things, Liz. I am trying to step back. (1) You are trying to build tens of thousands of homes and mixed developments within the six years that perhaps the man you report to is particularly focused on, so the industry and...
  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    What are your plans to unlock the full potential of Old Oak and Park Royal in regard to housing density whilst making it an attractive place to live in?
  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    Tom Copley AM: My next question perhaps is more for David [Bellamy] or Fiona. The report from the review recommends that public land is potentially wholly transferred to the GLA. To what extent does central Government recognise the complexities of the land and what discussions had the Mayor had around the proposal of land transfer?
  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    OK. If we take the example of the Olympic Boulevard, that is the main Olympic marathon route back into the Olympic Park after they have done their 26 miles. The aspiration would be that that looks good on television, for example. That is not your responsibility?
  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    OK. There is an interesting challenge here which is that virtually the whole of the rest of the world is very keen to make sure that the Olympics do not go over budget, whereas a lot of my constituents in East London are very anxious to make sure that, in making sure the Olympics do not go over budget, we do not spend too little on the regeneration benefits for the area. The individual borough councils, for example, have aspirations as to how the Olympics will improve their areas. One that pops up is the Olympic Boulevard idea, supported by...
  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can I move on to the question of jobs and employment. There has been a lot of focus on the budgets ensuring that people are adequately trained to build the facilities. Do you have a responsibility for thinking about legacy land uses and the ways in which communities will benefit from those uses of land? The one that is held up very often is the Broadcast Centre which could become a major employment venue in the future. What is your role in that, or are you simply trying to get the cheapest building up quickly, do not care if it...
