I'm starting to come round to thinking World Class Stratford is a good idea, as long as it's well thought out & not just the piecemeal effort it seems to be so far. When is work proper going to start on WCS anyway; or has all the money been spent on thinking about it?
Another thing; Stratford really IS a very expensive place. I saw some British beer for sale in New Zealand, and it wasn't too much more expensive than buying it in a shop in Stratford - only about £1.20 more, not bad considering it had been transported half way around the world!!
Have you not noticed the new bicycle racks in Bridge street unveiled to much fanfair..The first tangeable results of WCS!
