    You actually said, `There will be no permanent or temporary facility built in Hackney Marshes.'

    Jenny Jones (AM): Well, that is not what local people think.

    `Temporary' is two years. You are moving that football club on, that's Sunday league, for two years.

    Let us look at the cost, then. It is expensive to start taking green space and then reconstitute it. Why not just leave it and find another option?

    It has actually proven quite difficult for me to sit here and listen, and not stand up and shout, `rubbish,- because you are talking about environmental sustainability, you are talking about legacy in east London, and yet you are planning to tarmac over a piece of Hackney Marshes: East Marsh... You are ignoring the wishes of the local people, who have come up with several other options instead of tarmacking over a piece of green space. Why are you not consulting the local people? I can give you three suggestions. I have a map and can point to these places...

    Why not save yourself the money of building a car park? Why not make that space beautiful without'?

    I am sorry I just must comment on that, because we hear you saying that all the time about every type of finance, that the Government would not dare not give you the money, Mr Mayor, and time and time again, the Government does indeed dare not to give you the money. Therefore, I do not think that is necessarily a comfort for us to hear that from you now, and I think it is leaving it far too late, by the way, to address the overspend issue next summer when we may have already won the bid. Londoners, if...

  • Undertakings made to the British Olympic Committee (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    I would just point out, since the Mayor raised it, that of course the Congestion Charge is not making anything like the money that TfL originally predicted. My third question is about the lottery game that is being set up specifically to fund the Olympics. One way, surely, that we might have been able to help Londoners a little more with their bills would have been if you had fought harder, Mr Mayor - and perhaps you still can; I am hoping that this could still be rectified - to dissuade, shall I say, Gordon Brown from lifting 12 pence...
