Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I do not mind which person would like to answer. It might be we start with Lyn and move over to Lord Hendy. The transformation of the Olympic Park and Stratford is something to celebrate. It is fantastic. I want to pick up about transport today, surprise, surprise. Stratford Station is estimated to be the seventh busiest Network Rail station in the UK and one of the busiest stations on the TfL network. It is straining to cope with demand, a fragmented layout and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the middle causing a huge bottleneck...

Caroline Russell AM: Lyn, last time we spoke at the Budget and Performance Committee meeting before Christmas [2022], we established that the LLDC heat network runs on gas. It cannot meet the Mayor’s climate targets and it opens residents up to catastrophic energy bills. We discussed that you somehow have to get rid of all the gas and get heat pumps in to shift all that power to low carbon. I was very glad to hear you tell Assembly Member Cooper just now that Equans has started on the installation of air-source heat pumps. What analysis was done to rule...

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...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am increasingly concerned as to whether Stratford Station can safely meet growing passenger demand. Stratford Station is dangerously overcrowded, with well over 40 million passengers using the station a year, from only 12 million a decade ago. I understand plans to address overcrowding are looking solely at Stratford regional station, yet Stratford International could help relieve the situation. What are you doing to look at expanding the use of Stratford International Station to deal with this increase in demand?

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...
