Perhaps, Peter, you would expect me to ask about Tottenham Hale, so I am glad you raised it because the Tottenham Hale gyratory is, quite frankly, appalling. It cuts off the Tube station from any residential area and in fact pedestrians have in fact to negotiate a number of, in effect, dual or triple carriageways in order to get to the station. The points Jenny [Jones] mentioned earlier about the pedestrian experience are extremely important. Can I just ask that in that scheme you look at that very closely and provide a pleasant experience for pedestrians who need to use...

Can I just pursue this point, to agree with Jenny's point - the fuel poverty point - that by focusing on the affordable housing you get an added social benefit, but the Strategy focuses on the larger strategic developments. Isn't there a lot more that we can be doing given that I think the statistic is that 98% of all residential completions in the last year for which figures were available, were fewer than 100. By focusing on the larger ones we are missing the greater number. Are you satisfied that enough is going on to get the standards up...

Could I stop you there. I have got some questions and not very much time. Perhaps I can ask all my questions then you can just answer as best you can. The first question is how are you going to enforce all this, because that always seems to be the problem with councils actually being able to enforce codes. My view on all this, about trying to get to Level 3, is that it is just utterly unambitious. If you think that the houses we build now are going to be here for at least 50 years and possibly 100...

What about enforcement?

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

That is going to be true even with the new powers.

• Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

Right, so, there is no actual information.

• Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

Do you know about people who have actually come from the accession states to other parts of the UK - for instance, Norfolk or wherever - and then have filtered back to London?

• Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

Is the Mayor setting up or being part of a new migrant databank to gather these statistics and put them in a database?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

The last question: it is about Capital Moves. Is it right that all boroughs have signed up to Capital Moves?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 24 October 2007

I do not know that that answers the question because, from what you have said, it does not appear that he does have any powers to use directly in relation to this issue about boroughs who do not take up their grant, because you were saying that you would then wait to use the planning powers.
