  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, both. Liz, we were just hearing from [Lord] Peter Hendy [CBE] then that Mayoral Development Corporations (MDCs) “get things done”. According to the [Sir Bob] Kerslake Review [ of GLA Group Housing Delivery ], the OPDC “has not delivered any housing directly”. Is this something that you think is now a position that has changed and you feel more confident about delivery?

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Hina Bokhari AM: Thank you, Chair. Liz, I was really pleased to hear that you are encouraging the right kind of developer. What measures are you putting in place to make sure that you are not working with developers who may have had a disregard for leaseholders, people who have suffered as a result of the building safety crisis?

    • Question by: Elly Baker
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. My questions are to Liz about delays to HS2 and how they might impact OPDC. Three years ago, the Mayor said that, “There are ambitious plans in place to deliver a significant number of new homes and jobs at both Old Oak Common and Euston. I am confident these can be delivered, even if there are delays to the first phase of HS2.” Are you confident now that the start date has moved from 2026 to a window of 2029 to 2033?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and my question is to David. I am sorry to say that I have witnessed from you what I think is quite a poor attitude to community engagement. I have been copied in to this letter, also to you, from Professor Jennifer Robinson, who is Professor of Human Geography at University College London (UCL) and I agree with a lot of what it says. The professor raises concerns about the approach by OPDC to community engagement and says there is a need for the organisation to “repair relations” with community groups, including...

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Chair): I am now going to hand over the chair to Assembly Member Boff and I am asking this question as an Assembly Member for this area. You spoke earlier on that you are still working on the strategic OBC for the western land. Is this right?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Neil Garratt AM: Afternoon. Coming back to this question of what is a good developer, one definition might be a developer that does not fit flammable cladding to the sides of buildings and, if they have done that, they commit to fixing it. Have you got a policy that developers who have not signed up to that cladding charter cannot work on your development?

    • Question by: Anne Clarke
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair, and good afternoon. We have hit on a number of times the community engagement, and sadly in London you can look at plenty of examples of where developers did not get it right in major regeneration schemes. Just to follow up on some of the questions though, I am just wondering how you think you can make community engagement more accessible.

  • London and Covid-19 Restrictions (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2021
    Susan Hall AM: Thank you. Good morning, everybody. My question, please, is to Rajesh Agrawal, our Deputy Mayor for Business. Rajesh, last Tuesday we had a very amicable Budget and Performance [Committee] meeting and the Mayor said, I quote: “There is some good news today from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Chancellor this morning has announced an additional grant, which will really help those sectors that we really worry about: retail, hospitality, all those sectors. He has announced a one-off grant today. It is hot off the press. This is a really good piece of news that will be...

  • London and Covid-19 Restrictions (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 12 January 2021
    Andrew Boff AM: Mr Agrawal, you mentioned earlier about how the roads were being changed in order to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. Will the Mayor be taking further into account the interests of disabled people? These changes have actually negatively affected many disabled people, but they have not had the opportunity to comment on them. Can you assure me that things will change in the future, and that disabled people will be fully consulted when changes in the road network are considered?
