  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Alison Moore
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is for Niran Mothada. London’s transport system is critical to the functioning of the city, as we all know. How will your Board marry up the impact that COVID-19 is having on transport, both its finances and how Londoners will move about in the future, with individual and business needs so that London remains open?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Navin Shah AM: Thank you very much. My question is on mental health and the question is to Niran Mothada. The mental health of Londoners has been hugely impacted by COVID-19. What are the arrangements made for supporting Londoners with mental health issues arising out of the pandemic and how is it going to be dealt with in the new normality in the capital?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Murad Qureshi AM: Thank you, Chair. My question on childcare is addressed to Niran Mothada, the Executive Director of Strategy and Communications. Childcare is going to be a huge issue when Londoners return to work and in fact has actually been a huge issue whilst we have been in lockdown, as women have been taking up the bulk of caring duties. How can the Board support parents returning to work either at the office or from home, given that I understand 34% of early years providers are facing closure due to COVID-19, as reported by the Sutton Trust?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to Niran. Looking forward at economic recovery, do you think there is a balance between jobs, in terms of the amount of jobs and job security we can offer, and making sure that companies offer good terms and conditions? Is that something that the Recovery Board has at the forefront of its mind?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Nicky Gavron AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to add my thanks to the team and the panel in front of us for all the work you are doing. My question is to Niran Mothada. To ensure that we have a real green economic recovery and a just transition, will you be building into the social recovery working group and the economic recovery working group green thinking at the very heart of all the work that it has been doing and is going to do? Also, can you tell me how you are going to translate the principles...

  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    OK. If we take the example of the Olympic Boulevard, that is the main Olympic marathon route back into the Olympic Park after they have done their 26 miles. The aspiration would be that that looks good on television, for example. That is not your responsibility?

  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    OK. There is an interesting challenge here which is that virtually the whole of the rest of the world is very keen to make sure that the Olympics do not go over budget, whereas a lot of my constituents in East London are very anxious to make sure that, in making sure the Olympics do not go over budget, we do not spend too little on the regeneration benefits for the area. The individual borough councils, for example, have aspirations as to how the Olympics will improve their areas. One that pops up is the Olympic Boulevard idea, supported by...

  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Can I move on to the question of jobs and employment. There has been a lot of focus on the budgets ensuring that people are adequately trained to build the facilities. Do you have a responsibility for thinking about legacy land uses and the ways in which communities will benefit from those uses of land? The one that is held up very often is the Broadcast Centre which could become a major employment venue in the future. What is your role in that, or are you simply trying to get the cheapest building up quickly, do not care if it...

  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    I suppose I should declare, for the record, that I am the Deputy Chair of the UDC, although I would not accept that it is the only body responsible for this work.

  • Infrastrucutre and Regeneration (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 25 April 2007
    Right, OK. If we want to make sure that the boundaries, although you could physically walk across them after the Games, are softened to a point where a resident of Bow or of Hackney Wick can walk into the Olympic Park after the Games as if it was next door to them, and talk about responsibility for funding that and making sure it happens, is that again not your responsibility?
