The Anonymous Widower

Stratford’s Unwanted University

It has been announced that University College London is exploring the possibility of creating an additional campus at Newham, just to the east of the Olympic Park.

You’d have thought that this would have been welcomed by the people of the area.  But according to a piece on BBC Breakfast this morning, the residents are against the plans. There’s a video here.

We need jobs and I suspect that those who will be moved, will get a new house, so surely this is a good plan.  Or is it just the BBC saying that all development is bad.

I suspect if UCL were to build another campus in China or Malaysia, they’d be welcomed with open arms. And cheque-books too!
