  • Temporary Venues (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    In retrospect, do you regret perhaps not negotiating more robustly - I am choosing my words with care - with the IOC over some of its more elitist demands? For example, we spent vast amounts of money upgrading the transport system but it is insisting that nearly half the people have got the right to use the roads.

  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [28]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am not arguing with the principle. I am just trying to understand how many of the 70,000 volunteer places will actually be available if the sponsors take up their allocation and do not decide to give them to the community.

    • 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...
