Tories speak out as Altman takes up the reins

| No Comments | No TrackBacks


  hughrobertson.jpgHugh Robertson, the Conservative Parties' Olympics spokesman, has used Reuters' web site to blog about progress so far on the delivery of the Olympics venues.

You can see what Roberston - who in the past has been unsurprisingly critical about overspend - has to say here. It's all fairly anodyne now and yet further evidence that the ODA and Lend Lease have pretty much put to bed concerns about budgets and the completion of venues these days.

Robertson does touch on what will be the next big story for us in the media to get stuck in to - the legacy.

He's right to raise alarm bells about the lack of progress on finding tenants for the stadium and the media centre and EG will be keeping a close eye on this.

The good news is I understand that the Olympic Legacy Vehicle's new chief executive Andrew Altman has finally started work this week. He's not picking up the phone to me just yet but I will try to get a sense of what he is thinking and post something on it very soon.
