My question, and emphasis here, is actually that rather than focus on the quantity of jobs, we have also got to look at the quality of jobs, and what have you. My experience of working in the East End, certainly on the local employment in construction, was that actually that was not their preference. And I think the trick is to get them into employment into things that they want to do. I do not know how much of your emphasis on this front is solely on construction. Whilst I see the possibilities, and many of us may do, it...

One of the areas which you have not touched on in terms of environmental commitments is the waterways, I mean the backbone of the Olympic site has both the River Lea and canals. I just want to be clear what your commitments are there, how much progress you have made and what we can expect in the near future, in terms of check-off points.

From what I understand of it, the environmental strategies are all pretty good stuff, and I am generally happy to support them and sign-up to them, but I am getting complaints from local residents that on the ground where works are already taking place, for example, test works or earth moving works, or works along the canal network, that the customer practice that has been developed by contractors does not seem to be consistent with those strategies; Roadways have been closed unnecessarily, trees which are mature, which would appear to have a life beyond the Olympics, have been torn down...

Developers, such as major retailers, will not always share the aspirations set out in the London Plan - particularly when these conflict with their own interests. How will you seek to influence private developers into sharing your agenda? I was very pleased to go to one of your meetings with the Southern boroughs and there was a lot of enthusiasm. It is almost sad to the extent that boroughs are obviously keen for assistance and advice in getting their master plans of projects on but it seems to me that one of the key things that needs to be done...
