I like the vision; I am just not sure that is where the wand and the magic come in " it is how you get that together. With all the agencies and all the boards and all the steering groups and all of these people, it does not seem to me that there are clear lines of responsibility as yet. I just wonder how disputes and conflicts will be resolved and, ultimately, who has sway? Can the Mayor just come in and say `because I say so"?

There are a lot of cooks in this broth. But I am glad that you have clearly identified the Mayor as chief chef. The Mayor, in an answer in Mayor's Question Time on 25 February, said that the Thames Gateway was a `magical place'. I just wondered whether you knew what his magical vision was? What is he talking about? Do all of the people and all of the cooks share this vision? Could you just expand a little on this, if you are aware of it? Or is it about waving wands?
