Paul Terry,

You are getting your developers confused!


I don't believe so.

The developers of the Imperial Wharf scheme are St. George.


Yes.

That has nothing to do with Circadian, who are the Lots Road Power
Station developers.


Yes.

So, let there be no doubt, (if St. George are to be believed), the
money for the railway station is already in place


So why does the West London Line Group say the following on ...

http://www.westlondonlinegroup.org.uk/latest_news.htm

There is a funding shortfall of £1.3 million for the proposed
station at Imperial Wharf whose estimated cost is £3 million.
The developer of the Lot's Road Power station site, St George,
had pledged a capped contribution of £1.7 million. The remaining
£1.3 will only be paid the house-builder Circadian if the 800
apartment project gets the go-ahead following the recent Public
Inquiry.

And why does Circadian's own publicity say the following on ...

http://www.circadian-uk.com/ld_pdf_2/transport.pdf

What are you doing to support the proposed West London Line in
your current scheme? We have now allocated £1 million of the
total £5 million package of transport measures to the new
passenger service. If the proposed station doesn't go ahead by
2010 the money will go towards other transport measures such as
more local bus or river bus services.

And why might http://www.twocapitals.co.uk/CTG/June05.pdf say ...

The cost of a station at Imperial Wharf would be £3 million and
developer St George is offering a maximum of £1.7 million. House
builder Circadian has offered to contribute subject to planning
permission for tower blocks at Lots Road.

So, sorry, but I think Circadian are very closely involved in the
funding package.

Lastly, according to today's local newspapers, Kensington & Chelsea
have abandoned any plans to judicially challenge Prescott's total
denial of local wishes. Perhaps, rather than that expensive route, they
should offer Prescott an IQ test and, just so as not to make things too
difficult for him, allow him to keep his job if he can scrape double
figures!


Well, I'd agree with that bit
