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...

Nicky Gavron AM: Thank you. I would really appreciate it if you could try to make the answer succinct because we are quite short of time. I wanted to focus on play and recreation facilities for children and young people, because one of the key promises of the Olympics was the legacy for children and young people.

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...
