Examination of Witnesses (Questions 3060
- 3079)
3060. CHAIRMAN: Sorry, where?
3061. MR MOULD: In this pack.
3062. CHAIRMAN: In the pack?
3063. MR MOULD: Yes, it is divider C
and there are three pages. There is a three-page table at the
beginning of XR5-C-012 going onto 014 which lists a range of undertakings
under "Topic headings" which have been given to Tower
Hamlets and others in relation to the Spitalfields area.
3064. LORD BROOKE OF ALVERTHORPE: In
section C.
3065. MR MOULD: Section C, that is right.
3066. BARONESS FOOKES: You need a magnifying
glass to see it, it is very small.
3067. MR MOULD: It is small, I appreciate
that and what I have asked to be done is that hard copies be brought
to the Committee room today and I can ask that they be brought
in an A3 format so they are slightly larger on the typeface.
3068. CHAIRMAN: Have the Petitioners
had a chance to look at these various matters?
3069. MR MOULD: I hope they have. These
documents were served at the end of last week on them and, as
I say, the register is on the website.
3070. CHAIRMAN: Feel free to refer to
them if any of you want to.
3071. LORD BROOKE OF ALVERTHORPE: Lord
Chairman, could I ask a general question on communication? As
a member of the House of Lords, last week—and others may
have received this—I got a document from Crossrail called
"The Link", a very pretty coloured document covering
a whole variety of topics. Just reading the petitions relating
to this week I wondered whether in fact there is any means whereby,
similarly, Crossrail communicates directly with the citizens in
the area affected or is it only through the representatives?
3072. BARONESS FOOKES: That was the young
people, was it not?
3073. LORD BROOKE OF ALVERTHORPE: That
was the young people.
3074. MR MOULD: What I will do is I will
ask ---
3075. CHAIRMAN: Do you know about this
at all, Mr Mould?
3076. MR MOULD: I know broadly about
the initiative in relation to schools. I was not familiar with
that particular document, but Mr Elvin is taking some instructions
on this.
3077. LORD BROOKE OF ALVERTHORPE: If
I may, I am just following up with the questions that the Lord
Chairman has just been posing about the nature of communications
and reading through some of the documentation there appears to
be quite a gulf in some respects. I know there is a problem in
getting the panel running, but I wondered if you had given any
thought to how you are communicating with the citizen?
3078. MR ELVIN: There are written bulletins
that go out from time to time to inform people of changes and
updates. I know because, being on the route, I certainly get one
every so often in West London and it goes out in multiple languages.
We can give you more information on that when we present our evidence
on community liaison if that will assist.
3079. BARONESS FOOKES: Is it what one
might call "user-friendly", because the website is not
user-friendly?
