The Guardian questions whether London’s 2012 Games site is already behind schedule following Jack Lemley’s decision to quit as chairman of the Olympics Delivery Authority.
ODA chief executive David Higgins says Lemley’s criticisms that not enough had been done “goes with the territory. We have spent nine months evaluating the original plans. It makes sense, not least because we were never going to get on the land until July 2007 any way.
But The Guardian writes that the ODA is involved in intense negotiations with The Treasury over the true cost of delivering the Olympic infrastructure and the promised regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley.
