The Nash Ramblas

  • Reference: 2008/1522

Will you support the exciting and timely proposal to implement a programme of pedestrianisation and public realm works between London Zoo and the Mall, as promoted by Sir Terry Farrell?

Olympic village

  • Reference: 2008/1521
  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2008
The housing in the Olympic Village will only reach Code Level 4 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. This commitment would comply with the level of energy efficiency that will be required by building regulations in 2013 but not the zero carbon standard set for 2016. Do you agree that the Olympic Village is an ideal candidate to be a showcase zero-carbon development, and will you ask the ODA and other actors to ensure this is the case?

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron

I welcome your recent announcement that you will bring back mandatory Parker-Morris style space standards for new homes in London.
