It is very good to see a clear commitment in the Housing Strategy, not just to deal with these issues of supply/quantity, but also address issues of quality. Perhaps one issue that Dee has left out of that long list of points about diverse supply etc, is the question of lifetime homes. Now, there was very clear statement in the London Plan, and it is here again in the Housing Strategy, that we would like basically to see all new homes meet a lifetime home standard and we would like to see a significant number - 10%, I think -...

What I would like to see, and I want to know if you will be doing this, is publishing at every borough level what the arrangements are within that borough, so people know how to access the system and local councillors address the right level of consultative structure.

Chair, I think we should congratulate the police on the success that they have had in detection and prevention so far, and I think you mentioned a couple of the cases, and obviously prevention always happens; success is quiet in this context, and failure is very, very, very loud and public. Are you satisfied with both the current legislative context in which you have to work to do this prevention and detection, and what is your view of the Government's proposed control orders?

Is there consistent high performance and best practice amongst London boroughs on their use of ASBOS, Section 30 notices, parenting orders and evictions to deal with crime and antisocial behaviour? How would you like to see Council's improve their performance on antisocial behaviour?

There is a perception that traffic policing is under-resourced and that speeding and other infringements are only enforced when there are speed cameras and other technologies in place - is this true?

Some district centres - such as Crystal Palace triangle cross over more than one Borough policing command. (5 Boroughs meet at Crystal Palace). This has the effect of diluting crime statistics and causing problems of co-ordination with fragmented response and follow up. What co-operation frameworks are you putting in place and what are the prospects of a cross boundary super neighbourhood team in areas split by administrative boundaries such as Crystal Palace, Camberwell and Herne Hill?

Youth gangs in Rotherhithe have unfortunately made front page headline news for two consecutive weeks in Southwark News on 12th and 19th May 2005. There were even cross-border movements of youth gangs from places like Lewisham to make trouble in Rotherhithe. Many people of Rotherhithe are very concerned with the latest surge in youth gang anti-social activities even before the start of the fast-approaching school summer holiday. Can you give a declaration of the Met Police's commitment that adequate policing resources will be made available and directed at combating crime and the fear of crime in Rotherhithe?
