• Meeting date: 16 March 2023

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I do not mind which person would like to answer. It might be we start with Lyn and move over to Lord Hendy. The transformation of the Olympic Park and Stratford is something to celebrate. It is fantastic. I want to pick up about transport today, surprise, surprise. Stratford Station is estimated to be the seventh busiest Network Rail station in the UK and one of the busiest stations on the TfL network. It is straining to cope with demand, a fragmented layout and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the middle causing a huge bottleneck...

Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to both of you. Assembly Member Berry has covered much of the issues that I wanted to ask you about, the fixed estate charge, apart from saying that I would welcome the suggestion she has made to have that review and, post powers being returned to the local authorities, that there is a mechanism in place to make sure that is ongoing and that we do not get into a situation where the fixed estate charge becomes a second service charge, which makes it unaffordable for people to live on the Park...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much indeed. I am going to ask my first question to the Deputy Mayor, given your contribution at the start, because section 1.4 of the original bid document promised these four great legacies: sport, community, environment and economy. I really want to try to focus on sport today. Let us look at the Olympic Stadium. The legacy for sport really centred around the Stadium itself. The bid document, if you look at it, promised conversion to a 25,000-seat multipurpose venue with athletics at its core. It will become a house of sport with...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I would like to ask Sir Peter. As Chair of the LLDC, you will take direction from the Mayor that you may not always agree with. You were the Commissioner of TfL at the time of the Garden Bridge fiasco. What lessons have you learned from the mistakes made at that time?
