Greenwich: Up The Creek to 2012 Olympics slum

How Labour-controlled Greenwich Council, while tarting-up some areas of the 2012 Olympics borough where councillors live have let other areas deteriorate into a rubbish tip, like Bardsley Lane - a two-minute walk from the historic town centre of the World Heritage site and visible from the main road. The car wash featured towards the end of this video was given permission to trade because it was "not out of keeping with the general character of (World Heritage Site) Greenwich Town centre and (would) not harm the setting and the appearance of the area and the adjacent West Greenwich Conservation area"... Judge for yourself. Does this look like a World Heritage Site or a rubbish tip of a slum in some Third World country? See also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoUcDGM7Fw8
