  • Olympic Route Network

    • Reference: 2009/0118-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    In the light of Jacques Rogge's statement that the Olympic Route Network is not essential, will the ODA reconsider imposing the ORN on Londoners?

  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Mr Armitt, let us just get this straight. You approved Mr Higgins' package which is £641,000 a year, but your own package is £250,000. That is part time isn't it?

  • Risks (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    A couple of quick questions if I may. Could you just confirm that the vehicles operating on the Olympic Route Network will all be disability compliant? The next question is perhaps you could update us on the blue light services and what planning you will make to make sure that they adjust their route planning models because we know there is a limited amount of time and they need to get themselves organised? The final question is when would you reveal which of the ORN roads have exclusive Olympic lanes?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    On Tuesday at his press conference the Mayor said, 'The Aquatics Centre will be built on time and to budget.' Now, we are all aware that two days late is not good enough. Which budget do you think he is talking about?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I thank you for that and indeed welcome you to the Assembly for the first time. I am aware of both your and Mr Higgins' industrial backgrounds and I am also aware of what you inherited when you took on the role that you have got now. I am conscious that you are sorting things out rather than ploughing a field from fresh. Last Friday the Mayor in an interview said, 'Crossrail is not like the Olympics; we made a guess about the Olympics and had to work it out afterwards.' How close are you now to getting it...

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I understand the commercial sensitivity but you will also be aware that the Aquatics Centre is perhaps foremost in Londoners' minds at the moment. It is the changing budget there which gives people concern. It erodes confidence. We know the overall budget has gone from £2.3 billion to over £9 billion, plus the costs of assembling the land, and Londoners have this lack of confidence in the figures that are being given. When we see that the Aquatics Centre has gone up from £75 million to £150 million, yet the roof size is being reduced from 35,000 square foot to...

  • Infrastructure in the Thames Gateway

    • Reference: 2004/0228-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Where the Thames Gateway is concerned, we have not heard much about the provision of infrastructure apart from plans for transport in the area. What plans are there to provide gas and other necessary infrastructure in the Thames Gateway? Furthermore, the Thames Gateway area has a known risk of flooding and this being so, how does the LDA propose to defend development in Thames Gateway from this risk? .

  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Do you share that view?

  • LDA Leadership in East London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 17 March 2004
    Recently I paid a visit to one of your flagship projects, the Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing and Engineering (CEME), which is just inside my own constituency in Havering. I was impressed with the building, which is quite a smart piece of architecture, but there were a lot of problems with the running of the building, rather like any new building these days it would seem. When I went the heating was not working; there was a lot of space that was under-utilised. What is being done to actually make that place work properly, and to get more involvement from...
