    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'?

    Alright, coach park. Two years is temporary? You will be damaging wildlife; you will be cutting down trees. There is no protection for trees under the plan.

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    I was simply going to ask you about your track record of delivering on time and on budget. You make great play - and, indeed, you have already made great play - over the wonderful contractors that you are going to get in, who are going to deliver on time and on budget. I would like to learn from you what guarantees there are going to be from these contractors. Are you absolutely certain that they are not going to be contractors who perhaps will go belly up, so that we will have to pick up the tab? I wonder...

    • Meeting date: 13 October 2004
    World class contractors have gone bust. Londoners will expect there to be bonds equivalent to the total bill that we are going to be expected to pay. I would, however, like to ask you some questions about this total bill. Today you have told us that you expect Band D London ratepayers to pay for 10 years at £20 a head, plus another two years at a further £20 per head. What makes you think that is going to be the end of the bill, given, as Angie Bray has already said, that we as Londoners are going to have...
