I have met with local councillors representing wards in all of these boroughs and spoken to some senior representatives and a group of residents, and they...

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): We will now go to section 4 of the agenda, and that is the question and answer session on the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). We have with us today Sir Peter Hendy CBE, Chair of the LLDC, and Ms Lyn Garner, Chief Executive of the LLDC. Our questions to you both will be on the work and policies of the LLDC. Welcome to the meeting. To give a brief explanation, there are three lead-off questions and Assembly Members may ask supplementary questions after each question has been answered. Before asking the first question, however...
