  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    What steps are going to be taken, and who is going to be taking the lead, in getting a real buy-in from the private sector? Ultimately we have got quite a lot of people from the public sector, distinguished people on the Board, but it is the private sector that ultimately will deliver this.

    Thank you; that is helpful. You highlight the importance of the project delivery there. Which of the members of your Board will be taking responsibility, apart from yourself, for project management issues?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    I am grateful to hear that, that is reassuring. I wonder if you had had the chance to read the report that David James did on the delivery of the Dome?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Can I welcome you, Mr Higgins, both from myself and my colleagues in the Conservative Group. The ODA has been described as the people who build the stage and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) puts on the show. I just wonder if you can help me a little more in terms of what overlap you envisage in terms of operational work, of any kind, or budgets?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Again, I think a number of us here will find that very reassuring too. May I finally ask a more parochial question? I was grateful to see your comments about community engagement. I represent a constituency in south London, which includes Crystal Palace, which is not going to be one of the principle sites. I wonder what steps you are going to be taking to deal with those parts of London which, on the face of it, may not be receiving a direct benefit in terms of legacy but who will be contributing through their council tax, to try and...

  • Sport/Olympic Legacies (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    Perhaps I can come in as the person whose constituency actually includes Crystal Palace. Surely, it would be a pretty untenable Olympic bid that had no role for the one venue in London which is capable of dealing with grand prix athletic sports events. Can I ask again, what specific role do you envisage Crystal Palace playing a) in the run-up to the Games, b) during the Games, and c) as part of the legacy?

  • Sport/Olympic Legacies (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    I am afraid you did not, that is why I am pressing you.

  • Sport/Olympic Legacies (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    I am afraid your comments sit rather ill with those of the Mayor when he visited Bromley and told both the Bromley local papers that he saw Crystal Palace as being `within the Olympic footprint'. And he went on to say `My preference is for it to be part of the Olympic site." Clearly, you and the Mayor are at variance on that one.

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 October 2003
    Well, I find that a more constructive exchange, if I may say, because it may be, Ms Cassani, that you are not aware that there has been some very constructive dialogue going on between all the parties. And the more that that is fed into your bid team the more we are likely, I suspect, to get together the sort of joined-up approach that we all want to see as far as Crystal Palace is concerned. Perhaps we can pursue it further elsewhere.
