  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    I wanted to ask, and I suppose it is directed mostly at Tony (Winterbottom), how the LDA sees its role in supporting an Urban Development Corporation (UDC) for east London, and how does it see its role in that, particularly in the Olympic scenario, or alternatively the non-Olympic scenario?

  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Just to be clear, you want a single UDC covering the Lower Lea Valley, with the LDA as the agency?

  • Leadership in the Thames Gateway (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    I will be very quick, because Lynne (Featherstone) has covered some of the points that I wanted to raise anyway. But how do we ensure that the UDC is not just about circumventing the local democratic process and that we do not sideline the input from the boroughs and from the local communities below that?

  • Leadership in the Thames Gateway (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    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"?

  • Leadership in the Thames Gateway (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Following on from what Meg (Hillier) was saying, are you not worried that the UDC is going to come in and be yet another challenge for you? Is the Government trying to muscle back in somehow?

  • Leadership in the Thames Gateway (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    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?

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Jeff (Jacobs) is enthusiastic to tell us how Thames Gateway has been taken into account in this masterplan.
