Further planning permissions given by Brent Council in 1980, for new commercial and office buildings on the site, included conditions that Wembley Stadium Limited would sign a “Section 52” agreement to ‘make up Olympic Way and the subway between Wembley Park Station and Olympic Way to a standard suitable for adoption,’ and that the company would ‘contribute towards the cost of improving the Olympic Way / Bridge Road junction.’ My research has not yet discovered whether or when Brent Council did formally “adopt” Olympic Way as a public highway.'<br /><br />It seems quite likely that Brent Council DID adopt Olympic Way as a public highway, as:<br />'In 1991, Brent’s Traffic Division applied for, and was given, planning permission for the pedestrianisation of Olympic Way ...' (the project that gave us the present pedestrian-centred highway and the "Bobby Moore Bridge" subway under Bridge Road).<br /><br />Only a narrow strip of the proposed site for the "Boxpark" is actually on Olympic Way. Most of it is on a corner of the former BEE Palace of Industry (demolished in 2013) site.<br /><br />Philip.Philip Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216646114377430489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-8725691831960352092017-11-24T13:21:12.052+00:002017-11-24T13:21:12.052+00:00Butt, Boxpark and Quintain.

To my knowledge it was developed by Wembley Council (a venerable body)as the Main Approach to Wembley Stadium for the 1948 Olympic Games thus its name and thus belongs to us and not Quintain. As such I object very strongly to this development.Wembley Resnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-52140472398125508162017-11-24T09:59:54.541+00:002017-11-24T09:59:54.541+00:00Who has Butt & the majority of the other Counc...Who has Butt & the majority of the other Councillors on the end of a string as if they were his puppets to play with at his leisure!
