• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Yes, thank you. Can I start my question to Sir Peter? It is going back to a Plenary Assembly meeting that we had on 2 November 2017. The issue was raised there about the timeline which you are working to in order to return the planning powers that you either see as being on loan or borrowed from the Olympic boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Newham and Tower Hamlets. I have met with local councillors representing wards in all of these boroughs and spoken to some senior representatives and a group of residents, and they...

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. If I could ask you, Ms Garner, a straightforward question. Is convergence still central to your long-term plans? Let me tell you why I ask you this question. As I said, it seems a straightforward, simple question. The last annual update of your performance measures and convergence targets that were reported were in your quarterly performance report in January to March 2016/17.

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Len Duvall OBE AM: Thank you very much. Can we go back to the Moore Stephens report? Can you just remind us of the steps that you have taken briefly since they highlighted that your organisation was taking most of the risks around the Stadium, both in capital and in terms of operating cost?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I am going to talk to you about the provisions of health services in the corporation. The Legacy Communities Scheme proposes that there be five neighbourhoods around Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, but there will be two general practitioner (GP) practices and one walk-in centre. Will that be enough?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. It was great to hear the very upbeat comment about progress being made at East Bank in the opening remarks. However, the question is: how are you minimising the potential risks to the plans at East Bank? Again, going back to the risk register from May, there are certainly three major risks which have been identified. What are you doing to actually deal with the major risks involved there?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Tom Copley AM: Thank you very much, and good morning to you both. I have two sets of questions and quite a few of them, so if it is possible to have succinct answers, that would be fantastic. Firstly, on agreements with developers, when the LLDC enters into agreements with developers - for example, leases on specific sites - are there any conditions placed on a developer in regard to services provided or levels of delivery? We have received evidence of very poor management of build quality of some of the build-to-rent properties around the Olympic Park, which I think...

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Nicky Gavron AM: Thank you. I would really appreciate it if you could try to make the answer succinct because we are quite short of time. I wanted to focus on play and recreation facilities for children and young people, because one of the key promises of the Olympics was the legacy for children and young people. If I start by just trying to be clear about the numbers of children that are on the Queen Elizabeth Park in the residential development, the Local Plan review evidence base 2017 says there will be 10,000 households and 4,000 children. Is that...
