  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Do you understand the concerns raised by the Culture Select Committee in the House of Commons about the need to make sure that the uncertainty over the financing package and the final budget is resolved as soon as possible, precisely so we do not get the distractions that could get in the way of delivering the legacy that Lord Coe was talking about when I listened to him at the French Chamber of Commerce, for example, recently? What can we do, as an Assembly, to support the House of Commons Select Committee in pushing for some finality so we can...
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    I am sorry to interrupt, Neale, but I do not dispute any of that. Remember, I supported the LDA's intervention on that. What I want to know is what role is it going to play in the Olympics?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Since the LDA owns Crystal Palace, in effect, now, it has taken the lease, is it going to be putting it forward? I would just like a bit more specificity about what role it is going to play. You can make it happen. The LDA can put Crystal Palace forward as a training camp or a preparation camp. Are they going to?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    I understand, and you are right to say that we should not be building where there is not long term use, and so on. I totally take that on board. However, there will be a concern, amongst the non-Olympic boroughs - after all there are 27 boroughs whose Council Tax payers are contributing towards the costs - that they are not going to merely have the crumbs from the table. What assurance can you give us on that? Specifically, what are the plans for the use of the facilities at Crystal Palace that Neale Coleman referred to?
  • 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...
