How will the Mayor's 'No one needs to sleep rough in London' campaign and new London Homeless Charities Group contribute to reducing homelessness in the capital?
Tom Copley AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I wanted to ask you about the levels of affordable housing and specifically the London Affordable [Living] Rent which is the Mayor’s new form of tenure that is going to be benchmarked at social rent levels. Are you going to have a target specifically for London Affordable Rent across the OPDC site?
How can the public be assured that the LLDC has achieved value for money given the level of public investment in its operations and investments to date?
Are you satisfied that you are seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to provide community-led housing and cycling infrastructure on the Olympic Park?
Cycle Superhighway 2 stops well over a mile short of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Has the LLDC made an assessment of the extent to which visitor numbers to the park could be boosted if a proper segregated cycle lane between central London and the park were built?
In his response to 2015/0854 the Mayor called for high quality, segregated cycle lanes akin to the one running on Waterden Road to be replicated across the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Where and when can Londoners expect to see new cycle lanes of this type being rolled out in the near future?
In 2014, the Mayor (as Chair of LLDC) told me that stable tenancy agreements for private renters was part of negotiations with development partners for neighbourhoods including East Wick and Sweetwater. Can you update me on whether any development partners have committed to providing more stable tenancies for private renters?
