Thames Gateway delivery boss was told to quit

摘要

The chief executive of the government's pound;9bn flagship regeneration scheme for the Thames Gateway was told to quit after only a year in the job. The departure of Judith Armitt, who left last week, followed rising concerns about the government's control of the redevelopment of the Gateway. These culminated in errors over the preparation of the Thames Gateway Plan, which was launched by Gordon Brown two weeks ago at the Thames Gateway Forum. It is understood that original copies of the pound;9bn plan had to be pulped days before its launch because its figures didn't add up.
