Locally sourced food - really how much food is grown in Bow? Although there is sugar production at Silvertown and glucose produced at Greenwich so I suppose some of the food in the burgers and relish will be sourced locally.

Richard, I have to tell you that there is quite a lot of green stuff grown locally. And it is likely to be of great assistance for our athletes in the high jump.

There's a killing to be made with the locally-sourced food. Start a business now, and I dare say Diamond Geezer's Cockney East End Whelk-u-Like will be coining it in come 2012.

I vaguely remember that Newham at least was declared a 'food desert' by the WHO a few years ago because unless you want Halal fried chicken you are out of luck.

Cheers for the reportage DG, I have a bit more confidence now.

(But I don't think I can say the same about the medical cover plans...)

'Locally', as in Kent & the surrounding areas, I imagine, rather than from Brazil.

Won't happen - it'll be put out to tender and the rents will be too prohibitive anyway.

Most of the mushrooms for restaurants in London are grown near the A13 in Newham (if my memory of an item on London news or in the Newham Recorder a couple of years ago is correct).

Talking of food - how's the diet coming along?

London always used to provide a lot of locally produced fruit and veg. Production was centred around little villages and hamlets to the west of London with names like Heath Row.

There's Manor Gardens allotments...

How can you possibly tell that our money is well spent ?

Money is spent for sure, in vast quantities. Are we getting value for money ? That would probably be the 1st time in the history of the whole world by a public body.
