  • Sustainable Management System (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2005
    I know, but you said in a radio interview recently, `We are the Mayor's agency for businesses and jobs in London, and for the first couple of years, we will be doing most of the work in respect of the Olympic Games.' Now, you cannot make a statement like that on the radio in a national radio programme, and then not expect local companies to think that they can ring up us or ring up the LDA and say, `What is the position? How can we get some of these jobs?'

    How are you going to ensure that those living in Thames Gateway will have the necessary skills to access more of the new jobs created there? .

  • Infrastructure in the Thames Gateway

    • Reference: 2004/0228-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Where the Thames Gateway is concerned, we have not heard much about the provision of infrastructure apart from plans for transport in the area. What plans are there to provide gas and other necessary infrastructure in the Thames Gateway? Furthermore, the Thames Gateway area has a known risk of flooding and this being so, how does the LDA propose to defend development in Thames Gateway from this risk? .

  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Recently I paid a visit to one of your flagship projects, the Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing and Engineering (CEME), which is just inside my own constituency in Havering. I was impressed with the building, which is quite a smart piece of architecture, but there were a lot of problems with the running of the building, rather like any new building these days it would seem. When I went the heating was not working; there was a lot of space that was under-utilised. What is being done to actually make that place work properly, and to get more involvement from...

    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Perhaps I should declare that I was at that partnership board as well, and I welcome the work that you are doing on this. But my constituents in east London can, I think, be forgiven for being a bit cynical about regeneration in the area, because it is all very well to get investment bankers there, but very few local kids become investment bankers and the arrival of investment bankers very often, by driving up the land values, forces out SMEs in traditional old workshops, which have been a classic leg-up for people in east London in the past. They...

  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Business start-ups and SMEs set up, particularly by minority ethnic communities in east London, have been pretty fundamental in the last 20 years or so, and yet, if I look through East Ham, West Ham and Tower Hamlets, the sort of premises they used to occupy have disappeared. The ones that are now available are unaffordable. How are the LDA and the other partnerships going to intervene in that?
