  • Trident Gang Crime Command

    • Reference: 2012/0013-2
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Valerie Shawcross (AM): I think the last time you were both in front of us we did speak a little bit about how you were reconfiguring the Trident Gang Crime Command and the considerable number of people who work in that division, was it 500 staff I think you mentioned. Since then there has been seven stabbings in my division and of course a terrible murder of Kwame Ofosu-Asare [March 2012]. We are looking at the performance data that suggests there is a growing problem. Serious youth violence is up over the 12 months rolling period by 4.9%, nearly 5%...
  • Resources (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    John Biggs (AM): Yes. If I can get away with that, I have four questions, but they should all be fairly short. The first is on early departures. Do you have a number of officers who have indicated that they want to go, but not until after the Olympics? Do you have the measure of that?
  • Employment, Training and Skills Legacy (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    My question, and emphasis here, is actually that rather than focus on the quantity of jobs, we have also got to look at the quality of jobs, and what have you. My experience of working in the East End, certainly on the local employment in construction, was that actually that was not their preference. And I think the trick is to get them into employment into things that they want to do. I do not know how much of your emphasis on this front is solely on construction. Whilst I see the possibilities, and many of us may do, it...
  • Environmental Commitments (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    One of the areas which you have not touched on in terms of environmental commitments is the waterways, I mean the backbone of the Olympic site has both the River Lea and canals. I just want to be clear what your commitments are there, how much progress you have made and what we can expect in the near future, in terms of check-off points.
  • Environmental Commitments (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    From what I understand of it, the environmental strategies are all pretty good stuff, and I am generally happy to support them and sign-up to them, but I am getting complaints from local residents that on the ground where works are already taking place, for example, test works or earth moving works, or works along the canal network, that the customer practice that has been developed by contractors does not seem to be consistent with those strategies; Roadways have been closed unnecessarily, trees which are mature, which would appear to have a life beyond the Olympics, have been torn down...

    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    What are you doing to ensure the economic boost brought to the host boroughs and the rest of London will be sustained beyond 2012?
