  • Healthy Streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation

    • Reference: 2017/3379
    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    How will you deliver the Mayor's vision for healthy streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC)?
  • Healthy Streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?
  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year? Can you update us on what work has been done on that?
  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you. I was pleased to hear about the work you have commissioned on intensification because of the point that my colleague Nicky Gavron [AM] made about employment in industrial land.
  • Land Assembly (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning. This is of course the biggest regeneration project in Western Europe. To quote somebody you know in the property industry, you are trying to build a spacecraft with a budget that my residents, some of them, spend on their children’s wedding. That was one that I heard recently. You are trying to do three things, Liz. I am trying to step back. (1) You are trying to build tens of thousands of homes and mixed developments within the six years that perhaps the man you report to is particularly focused on, so the industry and...
  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    What are your plans to unlock the full potential of Old Oak and Park Royal in regard to housing density whilst making it an attractive place to live in?
  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    Tom Copley AM: My next question perhaps is more for David [Bellamy] or Fiona. The report from the review recommends that public land is potentially wholly transferred to the GLA. To what extent does central Government recognise the complexities of the land and what discussions had the Mayor had around the proposal of land transfer?
  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Thank you for that answer, but you will recall that one of the issues that was raised at the five-borough planning meeting was the legacy. Really my question is about what guarantees we are building in to ensure that facilities that are built really can have the revenue in order that they can carry on, and we are not left in a position with so-called `white elephants- around the place.
  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    Can I just press you: when you say "sign off" and "your assurance," we hear this, and people in Hackney and in east London have heard this time and time again, so can you just dig deeper? What do you mean? What guarantees are there that there will be a revenue stream and that these jobs that are created will stay local? I do not get a sense of what is happening and who is going to be leading. Will the LDA be leading on behalf of the Mayor to ensure that the legacy is longer than the Games?
  • South London Venues (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    The comments about Crystal Palace are welcome, but perhaps the Mayor would deal with this: do you not understand that residents of Bromley and Bexley feel aggrieved? Although safeguarding of Crystal Palace is good, they are likely to receive very little direct benefit in legacy terms, but are expected to contribute through their council tax for a number of years, whereas residents of areas outside London, which may have Olympic sites as firm parts of the bid, are not expected to contribute. What means could be achieved to seek greater equity for the residents of Bexley and Bromley on that...
