  • Healthy Streets in the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Good morning. I also have a few questions on the Healthy Streets agenda. The Mayor’s draft Transport Strategy says: “It is essential that a new street network is developed using the Healthy Streets approach to make walking and cycling the first choice across the area.” It also says: “High quality and reliable bus links to and through the area from existing residential communities will also be required to ensure that everyone benefits from the proposals at Old Oak.” How do you balance the competing demands for road space from both these priorities?

  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I expected my colleague to go first but, anyway, can you provide me an update into the work being done to refine the results of the Development Infrastructure Fund (DIF), which you referred to in your meeting in March of this year? Can you update us on what work has been done on that?

  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you. I was pleased to hear about the work you have commissioned on intensification because of the point that my colleague Nicky Gavron [AM] made about employment in industrial land.

  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    What are your plans to unlock the full potential of Old Oak and Park Royal in regard to housing density whilst making it an attractive place to live in?

  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    Tom Copley AM: My next question perhaps is more for David [Bellamy] or Fiona. The report from the review recommends that public land is potentially wholly transferred to the GLA. To what extent does central Government recognise the complexities of the land and what discussions had the Mayor had around the proposal of land transfer?

  • London Finance Commission - Implementing recommendations

    • Reference: 2013/0010-1
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Given the legislative changes that would be required to devolve some of the more far-reaching revenue raising powers identified in the London Finance Commission's Raising the Capital report, what measures could be implemented more quickly and without recourse to Parliament?

  • Capital Investment (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Tom Copley (AM): The report outlines the need to shift from, in terms of housing, subsidising rents towards subsidising capital instead. Could you tell us how you anticipate this could be done, particularly in terms of timescales and also the necessary transitional measures, which are mentioned in the report?

  • Capital Investment (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Fiona Twycross (AM): I want to go back to the point about the borrowing cap on local government in relation to borrowing and at a recent meeting of the Assembly's Housing Committee we heard that, although there are only 10,000 new social housing properties currently in the pipeline, if the cap was removed there was scope for building 800,000. I just wondered, obviously that is down to the political decision-making issue as suggested, but how likely do you think it is for the Government to relax or remove the limits on borrowing?

  • London Finance Commission - Implementing recommendations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Valerie Shawcross CBE (AM): It is a really excellent piece of work and it gives us a good agenda for the future. Last week the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) made some comments that I think we all know intuitively are true about the importance of transport infrastructure investment for long-term growth. How do you think transport investment decisions would change in this city if we did have much more local control?

  • London Finance Commission - Implementing recommendations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Joanne McCartney (AM): I wanted to continue the theme, really, about the transport infrastructure. Jennette and I represent constituents in the Upper Lee Valley who are very excited at the prospect of Crossrail 2. But looking at the length of time it took Crossrail 1 to actually get off the starting blocks, obviously it gives is great concern that this wonderful idea may actually take many years or decades in the making. Did you have a view as to whether the better fiscal autonomy for London as well as that certainty would actually speed up the timescale for these big...
