Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year?

To what extent does central Government recognise the complexities of the land and what discussions had the Mayor had around the proposal of land transfer?

Perhaps to address another part of your presentation, which links to this, you talked about the need for the LDA to have credibility with business, but are there not occasions when business has to have credibility with Londoners and the LDA needs to say that the employment, training and mentoring practices of the private sector in London are short-sighted, are disadvantaging London and, in the end, will disadvantage those businesses? I am being quite strident in pursuing that. Perhaps your Chair should answer that.

Is that a priority for the LDA?

Which other priority is a lesser priority as a consequence of that? What I am trying to get my head around is the extent to which" Obviously in life you have to pursue a lot of relatively easy targets and priorities, but you need to take some challenging ones on now. I think, and I think a lot of my colleagues and constituents believe, that that is a really vital one for London and we have not done enough on it yet.
