And there are long term plans for financing these facilities beyond the Games, because, as we know, swimming pools for instance, are very expensive for somebody to take on, long term?

So, for instance, in Hackney, there will be the opportunity for local communities perhaps to take over football fields, pitches and that sort of thing there?

I was listening to what you were saying to John Biggs and I take on board that you have steering groups of all sorts looking at how you develop the facilities with their legacy beyond the Games in mind. Can I just seek some clarification then? Are you saying that you already have teams of people in place who are organising proper financial and business plans for these venues, so they can be seamlessly transferred after the Games to groups who will then be taking them on to use them in the future?

In 1992 you wrote with Mark Fisher: "Severely limiting cars in London could be effective only if investment were made in high quality public alternatives."

(A New London, 1992) .

I was specifically referring of course to the fact that you play a link between investment in public transport and the reduction in car use. You are saying we need an awful lot more, so in your view an awful lot more needs to be done before you would see car use being reduced?

I for one feel slightly concerned at the way buildings can be spot listed, bringing all sorts of inconveniences on the way with it. But I wondered whether there might be a way of evening up the playing field, if I can put it that way. The Chief Executive of one of London's larger estates suggested to me, what about the idea of "black marking" buildings? Some of those buildings that have been left standing idle, often falling into ruin, and are real eyesores. There should be some system of "black marking" them for demolition unless a case can be...

I wonder whether you can understand the concerns that I have expressed in the past about the role you play in advising the Mayor and also the fact that the Mayor will at some stage look at every UDP that has to go before his office.
