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?
Is it in the best interests of policing London to have TOCU officers deployed in Boroughs whilst being operationally detached from the local Borough commander .
Angie Bray (AM): Recently I visited a small out-of-hours, non-contact boxing class organised by a former Olympic boxer. It struck me that what he was doing was totally wonderful. He had a class full of enthusiastic girls and boys of all ages. The great thing was that because he was sufficiently charismatic they were all willing and wanted to go to his class. He was then able to keep an eye on other issues like problems with learning, diet and so on. It struck me that it did not really cost anything. He just needed a little bit of equipment...
I wonder what measures have been taken or are being taken to ensure that local boroughs and the local borough police are fully aware of the Step Change programme so it can be taken into account when they are planning their own community safety strategy?
You know that I represent Kensington and Chelsea, which is already in an agreement with the Met. I think they have already taken on their first 45 PCSOs.
