Mr. Lar Bradshaw:

In the first year I spent roughly half my time because we had inherited the Custom House Docks Development Authority, CHDDA, organisation but we needed to set up an organisation that was fit for purpose. As members are aware, CHDDA was in charge of 25 acres and involved physical redevelopment whereas we had 1,300 acres and our remit involved social and economic redevelopment as well as physical redevelopment. In my first year I spent roughly half my time getting a management team together.
