  • Risks

  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Murad Qureshi (AM): I just want to continue on Richard Tracey's theme, actually, and I think it is a major reputational risk for the ODA, quite honestly, these whole bonuses that you have been giving yourselves. I just want to be clear; how can the ODA possibly justify raking in £2.6 million in salaries and bonuses when there is a funding shortfall for the Olympic sports' venues themselves, and the land assembly in particular?

    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Good morning Members. We welcome John Armitt and David Higgs who are here with us this morning and we are looking forward to a good exchange of information. Thank you both for coming. Before I go on, can I just say that I was asked by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to circulate a booklet which you will have found on your seats and John [Armitt] or David [Higgins] will make reference to this booklet in answer to Mr Boff's question [see Appendix 2]. The Deputy Chair and I had a pre-meeting with both John and David and we agreed...

  • Olympic Village (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Can I ask one tiny supplementary which is a little bit tangential? I understand that Queen Mary College - which is a university round the corner from where I live and just down the road from Stratford - has made its student village - about 3,000 properties - available for the entirety of the Olympics. Is that in some way making up for the shortfall in accommodation that is likely to be built at Stratford?

  • Olympic Village and Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    I was worried that there was a strong emphasis, quite rightly so of course, in legacy terms towards temporary and permanent developments and also the future options for the development projects, but not much at all about architectural legacy and heritage in terms of high quality of design etc. I am reassured now from the comments Mr Higgins made about the attempt being made, in terms of the whole process that you have developed, in getting better design and also your reference to the Barcelona Masterplan and so on. I am really seeking reassurance and an assurance for Londoners and...

  • Lessons Learned from the Beijing Olympic Games (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Like yourself I was there as a spectator but I did not have any privilege access like yourselves to what was happening during that whole month of festivities. There were one or two things I picked up which I think are pertinent. The first is on the transport. It was not just the investment they made but they also dropped prices, quite considerably, so most people used it quite happily. A similar thing happened in Athens. They said afterwards they managed to move the modal shift by 10% from private vehicles to public transport. I do not know if we...

  • Opening Statement (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Of course about 95% of the transport developments will be legacy so I think that will be very much welcomed by Londoners and certainly East Londoners. Of course we have had a time of turmoil and sometimes delay in reviews at City Hall since the election and I just wondered are there any transport development projects which have been caught up in the Mayor's transport review and delayed which are of significance to the Olympic transport plan?

  • Opening Statement (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    I do appreciate that most of the questions we want to ask you are probably subject to commercial confidentiality and so the last thing you want to do is announce the answers in public, but I will try one and maybe you can give us a thoughtful answer on this. It is about the IBC, the Media and Broadcast Centre. Is there a risk that it might not ultimately be built where it is proposed that it be built but that an opportunity might arise out of current other developments in the property market to relocate them within the Stratford...
