• Meeting date: 11 November 2021

Caroline Russell AM: Lyn, this is a question for you and I would like to talk about the toilets. This is an issue that the [London Assembly’s] Health Committee has been investigating and we are going to be publishing our report next week. From the feedback that we have received and from the available data on the issue, we know that London is very short of loos. The Mayor has laid out some clear direction in his new London Plan on toilets, although he has not actually stipulated the numbers of toilets that we need. Can you outline the provision...

Anne Clarke AM: Peter, what steps are you taking to ensure that venues in the Park such as the [ArcelorMittal] Orbit, the velodrome and the [London] Aquatics Centre are financially sustainable post-COVID?

Marina Ahmad AM: Good morning, panel. My question is for Peter. Peter, you touched on the issue of East Bank previously. Can you provide an update on how the actual scheme is progressing, particularly focusing on when the first venues will be opening, and progression on the residential part of the development, please?

Unmesh Desai AM: To you formally, Sir Peter, but maybe Lyn [Garner] might be able to answer this question. The Panel has already been asked questions about community engagement, but I have still got to put this to you. How far does LLDC engage with the local community to ensure that they are benefitting from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Olympic legacy?

• Meeting date: 11 November 2021

Sem Moema AM: My question is for Lyn. What changes have you made to ensure that there is genuinely affordable housing across LLDC so that we can deliver a mixed community? I am aware that the profile of your development there has changed from around 9% affordable housing in 2014 to about 34%, which is just a shade under the London Plan [target], which is excellent, but obviously there is more that could be done. I would be interested in your views on that question.

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Yes, thank you. Can I start my question to Sir Peter? It is going back to a Plenary Assembly meeting that we had on 2 November 2017. The issue was raised there about the timeline which you are working to in order to return the planning powers that you either see as being on loan or borrowed from the Olympic boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Newham and Tower Hamlets. I have met with local councillors representing wards in all of these boroughs and spoken to some senior representatives and a group of residents, and they...

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. If I could ask you, Ms Garner, a straightforward question. Is convergence still central to your long-term plans? Let me tell you why I ask you this question. As I said, it seems a straightforward, simple question. The last annual update of your performance measures and convergence targets that were reported were in your quarterly performance report in January to March 2016/17.
