On the London-wide issue, you do say in the implementation plan on the waste strategy, that you propose to develop a modern network of civic amenity sites with a focus on recycling and re-use. I notice that only one borough was successful in transforming its civic amenity site in the implementation money of £21 million. Are you actually now going out there and evangelising on supporting a better network of civic amenity sites and in addition, my big concern is that some borough are actually restricting access to their civic amenity sites, and that really isn't a particularly strategic London-wide...

Right, okay, I'm aware of that. How much are you talking to the LDA about future funding, because 2004 is around the corner. SRB runs out. The LDA have made some sort of vague planning and support for it. Are you looking the LDA in the eye and helping to discuss this issue with them?

I entirely understand what you're saying about partnership requiring some give and take. It doesn't always make for the happiest committee, but can I understand - are there published criteria that the boroughs can look to, to understand whether in the next round of bidding they are likely to be successful?
