Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [9]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
Okay. In one specific area, I just wondered if I could ask you, it does seem that the sheer scale of the transportation plans for getting people to and fro are pretty monumental. Which expert transport people are you getting in to look at that and have you got them on board yet or is that something that you need to focus on quite carefully?

So the expertise is really coming from the IOC as far as you are concerned?

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [7]

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
Are you going to appoint a member of staff or even, indeed, more, to co-ordinate the engagement with young people because they need very special facilitation? I can understand you might not have something yet but I think it is very necessary.

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
What are the big targets left to fill and are you on track in terms of timing?

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
I think it sounds sensible to get the guy in charge of the funding in first and I am pleased to hear that that was a top priority. Is there a strategy therefore that you had an idea about which one you needed to go to next and you had a strategy to follow, each post following the other one?

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
How far down the track are you to finding the right people?

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
That actually jumps to my next question. I was going to say, do you have any problems when you think you have got the right person in mind and they do not want to come and do the job and do you have contingency plans when somebody turns you down? But what you are saying is that that has not happened.

Staffing Appointments (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
A very last quick question. I do not think you can probably answer it now so I wonder whether it is something you could perhaps supply us with later on but it would be great to have a staffing structure both within LOCOG but also how you relate out to all the other organisations. Is that something you can supply us with just so that I can look at it and then understand it?

Have you got somebody in mind?

Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [10]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 10 October 2006
Finally, with the Chair's indulgence, obviously we would like to encourage people to use cycling or walking to get to the Games where possible. I note the Mayor has refused to rule out the possibility that bicycles may be banned from the Olympic Park, public cycles anyway, because there might be a security risk around taking them in there. Is that something that you have considered or come to a conclusion on yet?
