After the Olympics it will be semi-derelict industrial land again. Great safe prophecies of our time: 1) The London Olympics will be a complete screwup, many times over budget, 2) The supposed regeneration of depreived areas won't happen. Ian You could be so wrong Ian - I certainly hope so. Unfortunately, Ian is very likely to be right. The trade unions will make sure that the work doesn't get finished on time unless their members are paid massive "bonuses", and the costs will skyrocket. Every landowner will screw the Olympic organisation for every million they can get. The money set aside for regeneration will have to be raided to pay for all of the above. |
