I am a London-wide member of the London Assembly. On this site, you can see how I go about making your voice and vote count in the Greater London Authority (GLA).

I chair the Economic Development, Culture, Sport & Tourism Committee, which is the lead committee scrutinising the Olympic Games.

Economic Development, Culture, Sport & Tourism Committee.

The decision to bring the Olympic Games to London in 2012 is fantastic news and a great opportunity. Our job on the London Assembly will be to scrutinise how this huge project is proceeding to ensure that the opportunities and benefits are maximised and not squandered.

We will ensure the accountability of those in charge of delivering a successful event so that Londoners benefit from the promised regeneration of the capital.

I also serve on the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA), which scrutinises and supports the work of the Metropolitan Police Service. I Chair the MPA's Olympic and Paralympic sub-committee, which examines the role of the Metropolitan Police Service in the security of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. Recently I have been visiting various police establishments, including the Mounted Police Training Centre in Esher, the police dog training centre at Keston, and the Air Support Unit in Loughton.
