Gallif ord Try rows with subbies over athletes village

摘要

London 2012 athletes village contractor Galliford Try is in talks with three subcontractors over financial disputes as it works around the clock to complete the final phase of the project. Cladding subcontractor Prater, interiors firm MPG and concrete firm Reddington are all involved in payment wrangles with the contractor, resulting from delays on delivering the final two plots of the village - N13 and N26, which together are worth £80m and represent 14 blocks and 423 units according to construction data company Barbour ABI. The news emerged as culture secretary Jeremy Hunt, and Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) chief executive Dennis Hone trumpeted progress made on the village this week.
