  • Legacy (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    And there are long term plans for financing these facilities beyond the Games, because, as we know, swimming pools for instance, are very expensive for somebody to take on, long term?
  • Legacy (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    So, for instance, in Hackney, there will be the opportunity for local communities perhaps to take over football fields, pitches and that sort of thing there?
  • Legacy (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    I was listening to what you were saying to John Biggs and I take on board that you have steering groups of all sorts looking at how you develop the facilities with their legacy beyond the Games in mind. Can I just seek some clarification then? Are you saying that you already have teams of people in place who are organising proper financial and business plans for these venues, so they can be seamlessly transferred after the Games to groups who will then be taking them on to use them in the future?
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    I was struck by the fact that so much legacy is going to be wrapped around Sport England and the role they are going to play in the sporting legacy. Of course, I suspect there is a problem here, is there not, because of the fact that they are, to a large extent, dependent on Lottery funding. It would seem that Lottery funding is now being very stretched indeed, given that it looks like the Lottery is going to be involved in actually bailing out large overspends should they happen. How concerned are you that Sport England is going to...
  • Sporting Legacy (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 15 February 2007
    I think there are concerns here that everyone talks grandly about legacy, but actually so much of it is dependent on all the ducks being in a row, and I think perhaps that we are concerned that its intentions will not necessarily guarantee delivery. Lord Coe, I know everybody in West London is very excited that you have agreed to come to talk to the West London Alliance in May, about what West Londoners might be able to expect in terms of legacy from the Games, amongst other things. Perhaps I am being a little early in this, but I...
  • Visits by GLA Officers to Venezuela and China

    • Reference: 2007/0003
    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    How many visits have been made by GLA officers to Venezuela and cities in China in the last two years, and what has been the cost to and the outcomes for the GLA?
  • Capacity Enhancement Projects (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2006
    Is there any truth to the rumours that the burgeoning costs of the Olympics may endanger the Crossrail project? Could you alleviate our concerns on that particular one?
  • Traffic (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2006
    Brian Coleman (Chairman): I am not sure you have, Mr Hendy. Angie Bray (AM): You began to touch on it.
  • Traffic (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2006
    Would you agree that the policy is predicated on a philosophy that says car bad, public transport good?
  • Tram Strategy (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2006
    Just a quick question about the financial strategy for your trams, and the West London Tram in particular. If the CSR does not give you the money this year, or indeed later on, as you have suggested might be acceptable, once the public inquiry has been and gone, and you do not get it then either, would you borrow the money in order to do the West London Tram?
