The Winter Olympics has jsut ended and we have won a single medal, it is gold and it is for an individual female. Interestingly for kensington and fairfield the last one was won in 1952 at Oslo by Jenatte Altwegg, who used the Liverpool Ice Rink on prescot road, (she also skated on frozen sefton park lake apparently).
Ok that was then this is now, and as the building “rapidly” progresses on the new Neighbourhood Centre on the site of teh Ice Rink, you have to wonder whether the people in charge have their priorities right, £3million local regeneration money ploughed into a private venture out which they get none of the profit. and we end up with a fucking Iceland
“Gimme gimme gimme me the medal now” as Muttley used to say.

Is the winner perhaps the Councillors and officers who have trousered all the grants and stitched up the area for their developer mates?
Do I win the prize?
