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?

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?

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.

Tony Devenish AM: Good morning. This is of course the biggest regeneration project in Western Europe. To quote somebody you know in the property industry, you are trying to build a spacecraft with a budget that my residents, some of them, spend on their children’s wedding. That was one that I heard recently. You are trying to do three things, Liz. I am trying to step back.

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?

I appreciate one size does not fit all and I totally agree with that. Would it be fair to say that the way to go forward would be where there is an excellent product, that you would like to use best practice principles in order to extend those practices across the capital?

Indeed. That is showing up in the home safety checks which I think have risen from around 9,000 a couple of years ago to approximately 20,000 in the year that has just ended and the target for the current year is approximately 30,000. Even if you add all that up, that is 40,000-50,000 home safety checks. One or two per cent of Londoners have had a home safety check. Should we not be looking for a real huge step forward in this area?
