When the Planning Scrutiny Committee looked at the plans for the Olympic site earlier this year, it was clear then that the business planning was not yet in place to secure the long term future of the sports facilities which will remain on the site as a legacy of the games. Can you please bring us up to date on what arrangements and plans have now been prepared?
What lessons did London 2012 learn from the recent Olympic games in Athens? How will you incorporate the huge enthusiasm of the British fans who went to Athens to support the athletes in our strategy to host the games?
What undertakings have you made to the British Olympic Committee in addition to the £20 per year band D council tax levy, and what will the maximum potential cost of these be to Londoners?
We are told that the Olympics will cost the London council taxpayer 38p a week. The MORI poll that the GLA had conducted last year shows that 76% of Londoners would not be prepared to pay that amount. Does this not show that support among Londoners is neither as strong nor as deep as you pretend?
