  • Temporary Venues

    • Reference: 2009/0122-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    To what extent have LOCOG been successful in ensuring value for money and adequate public consultation in relation to temporary venues?

  • Temporary Venues (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    I am going to focus in on Greenwich, which, I am sure you are both aware, is becoming a slightly controversial area. A quick opening question: in the bid book the estimated cost for the temporary venues in Greenwich Park was £8.8 million. What is the current estimated cost?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I just ask Mary about the LDA's perspective. The Memorandum of Understanding has been renegotiated. We have heard the assurances today about budgets but we clearly do not know what the position will be when we get the final outturn on everything. Have you got any concerns that the Government might withdraw revenue for support grant, for example, from the GLA to compensate for any cost overruns?

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [33]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    In the event that there are major cost overruns, you have not put this into your risk assessment of the project, that we would lose money as an authority from the Government in direct relation to any cost overruns that take place?

  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    And what is the answer to my question? Why did nobody provide coaches, buses or train tickets and depend on the parents driving 300-mile round trips every weekend?

  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My final question is to Seb. Seb, does it worry you, as I am sure it should, that we keep reading things in the press about divers having to go to Sheffield and cyclists having to drive round the M25 in rush hour during the week in order to be able to train? Nobody could have foreseen that there were going to be problems with Crystal Palace? Surely these are the people that you are trying to inspire; these are the people that you are reaching out to so successfully. Once you realised that these people had to go to...

  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Lastly, can I just thank Sebastian [Coe] for his visit to my constituency and they were well received as he knows, but what he has left behind is big questions about when our young people going to be able to wear the 2012 badge like yourself and other city members! It seems a little bit odd, doesn't it? We talk about legacy in bricks and mortars and yet there is just the privileged few who are wandering around in their badges! I mean how is this? I have to say I gave my badge away when I got it at...

  • Mitigating the Games-time Environmental Impact (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that? Is that further commitments or is that the reality behind the commitments that have already been given? That is the first question. Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?

  • Crossrail v LDA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Yes, you are absolutely right. London generates an enormous amount of wealth - according to the London Chamber of Commerce about £13 - £20 billion - which is then taken by the Government and used to subsidise the rest of the country, if not Scotland. We can certainly do with more money. As far as Crossrail is concerned, the Mayor has said that is probably the most important project, even more important than the Olympics. Nevertheless, the Government still found themselves with a shortfall of over £300 million and turned to the City to stump up yet more money in...

  • Priorities for the Coming Year (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    OK, and the final thing; I know I threw so many questions at you, but will the targeted offer be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?
