Queen sees 2012 construction progress
The BBC report on the Queens visit to the 2012 Olympic Park includes an interesting picture of how work is already under way and how the use of coloured airships helped point out areas of interest to the Queen.
The view from the 21st floor of the Holden Point tower block, from where the Olympic Committee had previously viewed the area was described by the Queen as “exciting” and “fascinating”.
Meanwhile Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London, is warning that certain venues may need to change because of security issues. He also added:
“Can we reconfigure some of those things so that we can all save money, that we can work with the local and neighbouring developments to integrate it all better?”
Lord Coe has confirmed that discussions are under way, but the consensus seems to be to get the plan right now and then stick with it.
