    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2006
    Do you think that the forecourt at Peckham Rye Over-ground station could be opened up and a new piazza created - perhaps under the world squares project? Would you be willing to encourage TfL to look at the possibilities of projects for this site that would improve the transport interchange with the Tram station proposed for Peckham.

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I think you used the phrase `extremely excluded', and I would be interested to hear what disaggregated information there is about the people in poverty that we are talking about, because my experience has been that there are some people in our communities, some communities in fact, which are so extremely poor and excluded that I am not sure that the state is even capable of inter-meshing with the levels of poverty that they are experiencing.

    What is your reply to any Borough who may be considering stalling planned investments in solid waste management and recycling in their Borough because they believe that the SWA will take the responsibility off their capital programmes shortly?
