The 'Joining the dots' study that you commissioned sets out a critique of a "traditional approach" of top-down solutions which "can result in projects being delivered in isolation and failing to build upon local skills and capabilities". It warns that these "risk being irrelevant or rejected". Your consultants proposed a "generative approach", and wrote that "key to this is recognising local residents as potential co-producers." Will you therefore begin more open discussions with the putative Neighbourhood Forum and Crystal Palace Park trust to shift to this generative approach?

Given that the ZhongRong Group proposal, which you actively supported, derailed the Heritage Lottery Fund bid for Crystal Palace Park, and that the work n ow being paid for with the GLA's match funding will fall a long way short of the works proposed in the HLF bid, would you make available further match funds for a future bid to complete those works?

Many residents in London have already formed Tenant Management Organisations, but some feel they are treated poorly by their council. As you have previously promoted resident empowerment in your housing strategies, what are you doing to encourage boroughs and other housing providers to support rather than suffocate Tenant Management Organisations?
