  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David. We have heard today about the reallocation of sites for housing in the development. I noticed in your local plan modifications consultation schedule that you still say that you are confident that you can achieve that 50% affordable housing target overall, but I want you to confirm that. Also, in that you say that you consider there are a number of ways in which housing needs, particularly affordable housing, can be met within the local plan period. Could you explain in a little bit more detail what those means are and how...

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David and it is about biodiversity. Could you give us an update on the biodiversity study you have commissioned from the Wildlife Trust for the OPDC and how you plan to maximise biodiversity across the site and in particular - we have talked about flooding earlier - how that can minimise the risk of flooding, too?

  • Experience (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 14 November 2012
    Thank you. I wanted to ask you particularly about the sporting legacy and particularly school children. As you said, that is the one thing that you perhaps would have done differently with

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    London's presentation in Singapore was centred around the inspiration of today's children and future children to take up sport, pass the baton on to the next generation and I think you said London's bid stood out because of this. You talked earlier about you, in effect, having to do the knitting together. It is fine to talk about it but how do you actually do that?

  • Legacy (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    So I take it from that, we can do this, we can do that and then you said that we are developing these packs

  • Training and Development for Volunteers (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    You said there were about 70,000 volunteers needed. Do you have any idea at the moment about how many of them have come from London and how many from outside the area?

  • Training and Development for Volunteers (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    I also want to ask about the pre-volunteer programme because that is about to start next year I believe. I understand that the initial pilot will be in the five Olympic boroughs and that there will be other areas that will be on that pre-volunteer programme - representatives in Haringey and particularly areas like Tottenham and Edmonton, where there is a great diversity and great deprivation and some of highest worklessness in London. I am just wondering how, as a representative, I can get those local people involved and how we will go about engaging our local community in a...

  • Training and Development for Volunteers (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    Can I also ask about equality in the volunteering programme as well, because if you look at Manchester, I believe they had a great successful volunteering programme and they paid particular attention to long-term unemployed young people, members of minority groups and those with special needs and disabilities, and I am just wondering, following the things that Dee highlighted earlier, will you ensure that there is equality of opportunity at every stage of the process? Will you be monitoring that as well?

  • Training and Development for Volunteers (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    How will you be picking those areas that will be the pilots for the pre-volunteer programme?

  • Training and Development for Volunteers (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
    One of the concerns is that if people are volunteering, then they should not be out of pocket and I think the bid documents put the case that you are looking at; if people come from outside the area, people will be opening their homes up, and they can stay free of charge. Obviously if there are a large proportion from outside London, that makes it a bit more difficult but I am wondering when do you start that programme of advertising for people to become part of it by offering free accommodation
