  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [36]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    My question follows on from what Tony Arbour and Bob Blackman were saying. You said that you have interviewed existing staff but you have not interviewed staff who no longer work for the organisation, one of whom, Maxine Jones, also made some allegations. There were two whistleblowers: Brenda Stern and Maxine Jones. You have said, 'The review has found that this allegation is incorrect'. In order to reach that conclusion it would seem to me that you would have to talk to both of those two people.

  • Environmental Commitments (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    My question is to Manny Lewis really. I want to ask you. What is your plan B, regarding the Manor Gardens Allotments? Because the architects clearly overlooked them in the original plan, Waltham Forest do not want them, and I would now like to know what you intend to do.
  • Caribbean Showcase Sponsorship (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Extension of Carnival? So, the Carnival happens in Notting Hill and you have your extension in Hyde Park, and according to your website `We work to present a powerful, consistent and relevant image of London as a vibrant place to live, study, visit and do business' and that is what the Caribbean Showcase does?
  • Caribbean Showcase Sponsorship (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Thank you. It says on the LDA's website that the LDA's objectives are regenerating London, supporting people, that is removing barriers to employment, encouraging business, and marketing and promoting London. Yet you spent £215,000, approximately 70 per cent of the cost of the Caribbean Showcase, putting it on in Hyde Park on the same day as the Notting Hill Carnival. That does not seem to add up and make sense to me.

    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    That plan has not yet been approved, I understand, in Waltham Forest.
