You have talked about the London-wide regeneration impact. You have talked about the focused impact in the Lower Lea Valley, which is fantastic. But how do you reassure Londoners who are concerned about the existing big strategic regeneration projects in the rest of London (Paddington Basin, King's Cross, Elephant & Castle, South Central) that regeneration funding will not be sucked away from those projects? What is the reassurance we can offer to the other regeneration schemes in London that are important?
