It sees a bit old fashioned to rely on the road network when we are putting in this fantastic public transport option. They cannot all be carrying gold medals! They cannot all need protection. Why can you not just say to the IOC that, actually, it is much more efficient to go by public transport, and not pollute east London further?

Okay, so the environment is a major feature, but we may have to see some scaling down on the bid commitments because of cost overruns?

On the budget issue, we saw environmental and legacy commitments being scaled back in Athens as a result of going over budget. Can you give an absolute guarantee that there will be no scaling back in London from what was promised in the bid documents?

Existing planning permission for the Stratford City development specifies that a minimum of 2% of energy requirements of the development be provided from locally resourced renewable energy. This is a long way short of the commitment in Towards a One Planet Olympics for an 'Athletes' Village capable of being energy self-sufficient'. As part of the Athletes' Village will now be sited within the Stratford City development, will the ODA seek new planning permission, specifying the Athletes' Village as a Zero-Energy Development? If not, how will the ODA ensure that the Athletes' Village is "energy self -sufficient"?
