• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. My colleague just briefly brought up the London Youth Games there and I wanted to quickly confirm, hopefully, from either Lyn or Jules whether, with young children being able to use the Olympic Stadium and facilities over the last ten years, that legacy will continue and they will continue to use those facilities over the next ten years and beyond.

• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon to the panel; it is great to have you join us here today to discuss the legacy of the London Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. You are absolutely right, Jules [Pipe CBE], about needing to assess this on a regional, local, and national scale in terms of what we have achieved. But I am going to be zoning in to the local a little bit. I wanted to start with you, Lyn, about asking has the Olympic Park met the regeneration commitments for the host boroughs? Then I might move on...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much indeed. I am going to ask my first question to the Deputy Mayor, given your contribution at the start, because section 1.4 of the original bid document promised these four great legacies: sport, community, environment and economy. I really want to try to focus on sport today. Let us look at the Olympic Stadium. The legacy for sport really centred around the Stadium itself. The bid document, if you look at it, promised conversion to a 25,000-seat multipurpose venue with athletics at its core. It will become a house of sport with...

• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 02 November 2017

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I would like to ask Sir Peter. As Chair of the LLDC, you will take direction from the Mayor that you may not always agree with. You were the Commissioner of TfL at the time of the Garden Bridge fiasco. What lessons have you learned from the mistakes made at that time?
