  • Environmental Commitments (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    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...
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    But to paraphrase what you said, Paul, it is suggested to me that we will not see any extra facilities, as a result of having training facilities here. All we will see is maybe some improvements to existing facilities.

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Lord Coe, you have gone on record as saying that the Olympics is not about budgets and additional infrastructure, it is about ambition and legacy. How is the current row over the budget for the main Olympic Stadium actually having an effect on the legacy, for example, for the main Olympic Stadium?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007

  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    Reports are saying that the main contractor is coming back and saying that the cost of the Olympic Stadium has doubled. Can you confirm that?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    One of the areas, of course, that you refer to, and I think we can build on, is providing training facilities for teams coming to the Olympics. They need first rate facilities, but could be built all over London and therefore be a lasting legacy for Londoners, be they from the west or east, north or south, to participate in sport later. Can you give us a guarantee about what the plan is for rolling that out?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    I am moving outside of the five Olympic boroughs to the whole of the rest of London, to look at what the sporting legacy can be for the rest of London.
