• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Joanne McCartney AM: Following up on Tom’s [Copley AM]question about housing, you answered some of the questions I was going to ask but there obviously are some risks around, for example, Brexit and housing costs in London, although the cost of housing seems to be flat‑lining, if not reducing. How certain are you that your agreements with developers are robust enough so that later down the road they are not going to cry, “Viability will not allow us to meet your requirements”?

Andrew Dismore AM: Of the jobs that have been so far created in the Olympic Park and the other LLDC sites, how many have gone to residents in the four growth boroughs?

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Unmesh Desai AM: I want to ask you about local community engagement, very specifically in terms of three areas. How does the LLDC communicate and consult on its plans with residents? Is there a residents’ forum, for instance, is it resourced, how do you try to get residents to come to meetings? Secondly, residents’ groups, like the Save Hackney Campaign. I know there has been some history of disappointment and frustration on their part that you were not engaging with them and not listening to them. Has that improved? Thirdly, businesses in the Park, specifically West Ham United Football Club...

Keith Prince AM: First of all, you were answering Assembly Member Duvall’s question about costs and so on and you said there were four things. The first was seat moves, the second was high operating costs and the third was the lack of commercialisation but I think he interrupted before you got to the fourth on that list, unless I ‑‑

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. Can you turn to the stadium and the Moore Stephens report [ Olympic Stadium Review ]? Can you give us an update on how you have acted upon the findings of that report? When it was published [in November 2017] it talked particularly about the estimated projected losses. I think it quoted between £10 million and £20 million a year. Is that still the figure you are working to and is it still an objective to get that figure down? I do not mind who takes it.

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. We have heard a lot about the London Stadium but there are five different Olympic sporting venues in the Olympic Park. Two of these are the [Lee Valley] Hockey and Tennis Centre and the [Lee Valley] VeloPark, but they are owned and run by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, which Londoners all contribute to. What kind of relationship do you have with that Authority as the new Chief Executive and are you considering, or are you looking at developing, a joint strategy with that Authority to explore how together you can better deliver...

• Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning. Earlier, Lyn, you talked about some of the additional venues under the umbrella of the LLDC. However, some of those venues have hosted major concerts and events, which is really great. Also, some of those venues have really tight income targets. Can you confirm whether all those venues are meeting their income targets and long‑term forecasts?
