• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 31 May 2012

Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you. Following on from Navin, a very good question actually, many of us have a problem with our Safer Neighbourhood strengths, and it is not just in Navin's ward. Your offer, Mr Mayor, for that information could well open up floodgates, so be careful what you wish for.

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 31 May 2012

Len Duvall (AM): A number of boroughs have lost a number of staff, both civilian and police officers; you are talking about allocating the numbers that we have now from the recent Government grant, that is probably less than what they have lost through different ways. The figures I have seen, the figures provided by the Metropolitan Police Service, sorry, but you are talking about reallocating the smaller number of resources in terms of that, is this a new rough formula, the new policing model? What are we talking about? Are these the numbers that each borough is going to...

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 31 May 2012

Navin Shah (AM): I generally share some of the comments made about potential for either swallowing up or stampeding on the existing framework that might exist in the local areas or, possibility of the idea for both is not a bad one, but we will have to see what you actually come up with. The question to the Commissioner is, what timetable do you have for coming up with the whole framework for the board and, would there be any opportunity for any variation to adopt locally the right approach for the board itself for better accountability, better engagement?

• Meeting date: 31 May 2012

Richard Tracey (AM): Mr Mayor, this is really a work in progress, as I understand it. I mean, you have not spelt out a great deal of detail to Steve O'Connell. This was something that was in your manifesto but you are intending to develop this over the next year or two years?

Dee Doocey (Chair): Can I formally welcome Baroness Ford and Andrew Altman to the meeting. Baroness Ford is the Chair of the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) and Andrew Altman is the Chief Executive. Thank you very much for coming.

Could you tell me what role the OPLC will have in consulting the populated parts of the proposed MDC?

• Question by: Richard Barnbrook
• Meeting date: 16 March 2011

Thank you, Chair. I would like to take a step back as we look towards legacy. We are all aware in this Chamber that the host boroughs of east London are some of the poorest locations in the capital. 70,000 unemployed adults are in the seven east London boroughs that neighbour the Olympic site. I am looking at the foundations of a legacy. How is it possible to truly call this a legacy when, at this moment in time, of the 5,381 employed people on the site, only 20% are from the five hosting boroughs and 48% are non-British? This...

• Meeting date: 16 March 2011

Thank you, Chair. I have got a number of questions. Firstly, to go back to what John was talking about, on the people legacy. The Olympic Park set itself benchmarks, as you know, Margaret. I know that you have been aware of the programmes it implemented. The sadness is that those teams may now well disperse. I welcome what you are doing with schools. Would you agree with me that you need also to work with local colleges, in the way that the ODA did, and what you need to do is, in a sense, take the baton and do...

Can I touch on the sustainability assurance aspects. The Commission for a Sustainable 2012 does not just do the construction and the staging of the Games, it includes legacy, albeit that process is going to come to an end in about 2013. The first question, for the record, is do you welcome that scrutiny and will you cooperate fully with the Commission for a Sustainable 2012 for the legacy aspects?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 16 March 2011

I am interested in the cost of running the sports venues once they are into legacy mode. I understand that the OPLC will be responsible for the Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the mixed sports venue and the tower. Do you expect the sports venues will require public subsidy once they are in legacy mode to keep them afloat, or will they stand on their own two feet?
