With much of London’s industrial heartland being replaced by blocks of flats, what guarantees can the OPDC give to the many thriving businesses around Old Oak Common and Park Royal who face an end to their livelihoods through relocation?

How will you ensure that the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) engages with diverse groups of Londoners?

My question is to Victoria first of all. Given the timetable for the delivery of housing at Old Oak and the Mayor’s long-term strategic target of 50% affordable housing, how is the OPDC maximising affordable development right from the outset?

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mine is about the exemplar development in terms of the environmental ambitions, and so perhaps Victoria would like to start.

Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. Will the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and planning agreements be sufficient to deliver the substantial amount of social infrastructure that will be required for the development?

Nicky Gavron AM: Victoria, you have given us quite a lot of context with this exchange. I want to go on talking about the industrial site. Park Royal is probably the largest strategic industrial location in the whole of Europe and it is definitely the industrial engine of the London economy and therefore a huge contributor to the UK economy. Everything you are saying about protecting it - and I really welcome what you were saying about the article 4 direction - and strengthening it is really important. You have talked about relocating some of the industries from Old Oak...

Nicky Gavron AM: This is a question I was out of time on that I would like to ask. During the last mayoralty, there was a general perception that Old Oak and Park Royal would probably be a rather dull development with residential units and commercial units and so on but that it would not really have a star attraction. Now there has been a lot of talk about Queens Park Rangers going there and a stadium-led regeneration with everything from casinos to concert halls and, recently, there were press reports on a study you were doing on something called...

Do you know, I am flabbergasted by this, Deputy Mayor. You have just told us that these low-energy bulbs are in fact a transitional thing, because LED bulbs are going to come in which are going to be efficient, but at the same time your publicity has told us that these light bulbs are going to have a very long life. Clearly it is quite pointless that they should have a long life if something more permanent is going to come along. It is a bit like somebody trying to sell me a Betamax video recorder! The whole thing is...

One final thing on this; I believe the whole thing is completely ludicrous. This refers to DIY Planet Repairs. Whenever we switch on any of the computers in this building a big thing comes up with an exclamation mark saying `DIY Planet Repairs'; utterly meaningless. I can well understand why there is an exclamation mark there; this has cost the Council Tax payers of London more than £1.25 million! Can you point to any `DIY Planet Repair' which the Mayor and this campaign have actually achieved?
