Tony Devenish AM: Mr Mayor, you have top‑sliced £3 million from this vital budget. If you are going to top‑slice that, can I make a plea that you look at using some of that money embedded with London councils and the boroughs and do not just create a huge bureaucracy in this building, please?

• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Keith Prince AM: First of all, you were answering Assembly Member Duvall’s question about costs and so on and you said there were four things. The first was seat moves, the second was high operating costs and the third was the lack of commercialisation but I think he interrupted before you got to the fourth on that list, unless I ‑‑

Unmesh Desai AM: I want to ask you about local community engagement, very specifically in terms of three areas. How does the LLDC communicate and consult on its plans with residents? Is there a residents’ forum, for instance, is it resourced, how do you try to get residents to come to meetings? Secondly, residents’ groups, like the Save Hackney Campaign. I know there has been some history of disappointment and frustration on their part that you were not engaging with them and not listening to them. Has that improved? Thirdly, businesses in the Park, specifically West Ham United Football Club...

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Joanne McCartney AM: Following up on Tom’s [Copley AM]question about housing, you answered some of the questions I was going to ask but there obviously are some risks around, for example, Brexit and housing costs in London, although the cost of housing seems to be flat‑lining, if not reducing. How certain are you that your agreements with developers are robust enough so that later down the road they are not going to cry, “Viability will not allow us to meet your requirements”?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Leonie Cooper AM: I want to ask about the environmental sustainability for the Olympic Park sites. Specifically, I want to know about the residential developments and whether you are going to be achieving zero carbon from 2016 ‑ that is what you were expecting ‑ and also on all other developments from 2019. I want to ask a bit about the carbon‑offset fund, because you have started collecting that but you were saying no bids as yet until you had reached a certain level in the fund. Have you reached that level yet and what kind of bids will you...

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Tom Copley AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to turn to levels of affordable housing on the site. You said in your introductory remarks that you were committed to 50% affordable within the Park boundary, but of course the LLDC is bigger than just the Olympic Park. Are you committed to 50% across the whole of the LLDC area?
