Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. David, this morning in your opening statement you referred to the Olympic Park and particularly the venues that are there. They are becoming a major destination.

David Goldstone CBE (Chief Executive, London Legacy Development Corporation): Yes.

Developers, such as major retailers, will not always share the aspirations set out in the London Plan - particularly when these conflict with their own interests. How will you seek to influence private developers into sharing your agenda? I was very pleased to go to one of your meetings with the Southern boroughs and there was a lot of enthusiasm.
