    The Mayor told me he has 'asked TfL to work with LLDC to review the traffic modelling options operating the bridges in light of [his] draft transport strategy'. Should the review highlight unacceptable traffic impacts on local people, will the bridge plans be cancelled?

    In response to my question 2017/3007 the Mayor revealed that the GLA provided £110m grant in total to Triathlon Homes for affordable homes in the East Village (the former athletes' village).

  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you very much. I am very glad to hear that you have made progress on that because it is incredibly important. Congratulations on being on time and on budget. That is pretty amazing and I am sure we are all happy about that. One of the next steps that you could do, in fact, with the Living Wage, is to have accreditation from London Citizens and I gather that organisations like the London Development Agency (LDA) already do have that. I wondered if you would take that next step and get accreditation and then, perhaps, you could also work...
  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am more than slightly concerned about the legacy, which you have all mentioned in your presentations. Somehow I am getting the feeling that in the original bid the legacy was a huge part of it, to regenerate a very poor area of London.

  • Budget (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I would like to go back to the environmental and social issues. I would like to float an idea past you and see your reaction. It is worth spending more money and going over budget to include all these environmental ,sustainability and social issues than it is to come in on budget and reject all of these things as being something we cannot achieve. Remember we are talking about 2012 here. People will have very different expectations of what sustainability is by then.
  • Procurement (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    First of all I would like to say from the Green Group, we very much support the Olympics and want it to be a success, and this is the force of our questions. I want to push you again on the whole issue of targets and monitoring, specifically on the legacy aspect of the employment, of the skilling and also of the living wage. There are actually three questions from us' Brian Coleman (Chairman): Let us do one at a time. I am trying to make a point that this is something we care about and something that is going...
