Moving on to particularly burglary and robbery. I mentioned earlier directly to the Commissioner that these are crimes that affect many, many people and often are the crimes that touch many people in the sort of areas that I represent, be it burglary of their homes, often robbery which often affects their young people in town centres. It is often a disproportionate affecting crime. It does worry me somewhat that the figures on robbery and burglary do seem to be going in the wrong direction over a period of time, both pan-London and in particular one of my boroughs. I...

You will know it is the Mayor's Manifesto to introduce the sentencing unit and I think we are very interested to see how that plays out and how that forms. I would be interested in your comments. Something that I think has brought this very much to all of our attentions is about and we had DAC Kavanagh here the other week talking about confidence levels. Something that we did say was that it is all very well the police getting their act together but the communal process is more complex than just the police and sentencing is one of...

Steve O'Connell (AM): Chair, mine is along the same lines that John [Biggs AM], unsurprisingly, was talking about, was the budget, so I will try to blend it slightly away from repeating John particularly. The budget is a challenge and you pointed it out and you have answered those questions around that. However, it does have broader issues, and I am particularly thinking about the effect on things like morale on the ground. If you do talk to as we all do studiously often local cops, cops tend to moan because that is part of the deal. But, if we...

Thank you. Stephen, just going on from what you have said, obviously you are very quickly getting up to speed, particularly on some of the disappointing work that we have all seen that is happening in the rape reporting and crimes. I am following up on a constituent's case. Again, he was wrongly told by the traffic unit that the case had been shelved, rather mirroring what is happening on the Sapphire cases. How many cases are shelved or not pursued with?

What transport demand modelling is currently being undertaken to establish the volume of passenger demand and the predicted transport patterns? If this modelling is being undertaken, who is carrying this work out? If it is not happening, why not? .

How do you see existing transport links servicing an Olympics based at Stratford? Would there be any need for new routes, access or other transport infrastructure and if so, what? .

Doubling the track?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 15 October 2003

I agree that we have to get the existing transport infrastructure right. There is a direct link from Stratford to Stansted which is growing very fast in the period up to the Games. It cannot be used. It needs two things. Firstly, the doubling of the track capacity between Tottenham Hale and Broxbourne, which was planned for completion by 2007 but is now being consigned to the distant future by the SRA. It was one of their top priorities, but now it is out. Secondly, improvements are needed to the Copper Mill junction on the link between Tottenham Hale and...

But, at the moment, there is a link and you cannot use it; there is no way in.
