To further enhance the profitability of its scheme Mrs Olayan persuaded the Council's planning team a section of Basil Street between Sloane Street and Pavilion Road was so little used closing it off would have no adverse impact.
The Council's planners then used data harvested during the lockdown period to back up the Saudi plan.
What the Council failed to tell residents was that:
1. The traffic flow 'research' was undertaken when London was a ghost town
2. The 'research' was funded by the men in Jeddah keen to get their own way.
The Council was at gross fault in not disclosing this 'research' was flawed, useless and driven purely to support the greed of yet another Middle Eastern investor.
Desperate for dosh, expect Brexit-battered Britain to extend its begging bowl to any rapacious overseas investor, with no questions asked so long as they slip a bung to those in power. It's the will of the people. Suck it up!
ReplyDeleteDear dame how do you know that for sure, re the data?
ReplyDeleteIf its true, will the planning dept will get a good hiding/reverse the decision and whose pockets were filled?
Mrs Campbell,
DeleteUnder pressure from Mr Tabbah the Council officer, Mr McCool, admitted that the 'research' was paid for by Mrs Olayan
The Dame should be inspecting planning officers' wrists to see if there are any Rolex watches showing
