Lack of Crossrail Station confirmation a cause for concern to Senior Crossrail Executive

The Chief Executive for Crossrail, Rob Holden was featured in a story in the NCE this week as expressing some concern about the lack of a finished specification for the Crossrail scheme. He passed comment that this lack is proving to be an enormous frustration to him and the other Crossrail Senior Executives. One example cited of an area where the project scope had yet to be settled to Crossrail satisfaction was the planned station at Woolwich. The station has still not received the official seal of approval and Mr Holden describes this as “not a recipe for success”.


 

Mr Holden made a speech at the NCE Rail Summit last week and he was quoted as saying that Crossrail was still waiting for Transport for London and the Department of Transport to confirm the funding arrangements for the station at Woolwich. The Department of Transport and Transport for London are both sponsors of the Crossrail Project. However, the Comprehensive Spending Review is planned for the 20th October and Mr Holden is hoping that official conformation of the Woolwich station will follow on from this.


 

Although a budget of £15.9 billion has been allocated for the Crossrail project, Crossrail senior executives were hoping that more detailed funding decisions would have taken place during the Parliamentary process prior to when the Monarch signed the Crossrail Act back in July 2008.


 

It has now been two years since the Crossrail project received Royal Assent, but there have still been no firm decisions as to how many stations there are going to be, plus where exactly these stations will be located. Mr Holden is worried that the politicians involved in the Crossrail project are not taking the issues of specific funding seriously enough and because of this the Crossrail scheme may suffer on the long run.

KHOODEELAAR! Told Tower Hamlets Council so! You are on a marathon to nowhere as you are still banking on lies, fakery and falsehood..

In 2007, Khoodeelaar! “The campaign in defence of the community in the inner city East London Borough of Tower Hamlets and against the agenda of Big Business as typified in the Crossrail scam”, made two formal representations to the local ‘Tower Hamlets Council’.

On both those occasions, the KHOODEELAAR! Campaign Organiser Muhammad Haque said that the collusion with the Crossrail scam by the Council was being maintained at the expense of the ordinary economic, social and other relevant interests of the community in the borough.

The representations took place in September 2007 and in December 2007.

During  the second of the representations,  in December 2007, Khoodeelaar! Organiser Muhammad Haque told Tower Hamlets Council that the proof of the serious wrong in the Council’s collusion with Big Business scams could be seen in the behaviour of the 2012 Hosting operations.
Muhammad Haque pointed out that the propaganda was that ‘local people’ would benefit from the siting of the 2012 Games Hosting activities in the neighbouring area to Tower Hamlets. But the fact, as could be ascertained from the contents of EVEN the ‘East London Advertiser’, was the opposite. That title, said Muhammad Haque was carrying items showing that local East London people were not getting the jobs that the Hosting companies were filling at the time.

Three years on, what do the latest data show?

Surprise! ” Surprise! And even more surprise!

East London people are NOT at the top of the recruitment queue at the 2012 Games hosting operations. Ooops! Enterprises!





Ooops! Ooops!

Not the ‘regeneration’ that they had promised!



More like DEGENERATION that Muhammad Haque had been warning the corrupt controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council about.
