Property prices will increase again...by 2012 we should have had all the work done on the house so we will rent it out and go on holiday!! Stratford is only down the road from us....can walk it in 20 minutes!

I for one am not going to enjoy the distruption in this area over the next 7 years. The council tax is already incrediabley high and I won't be happy with increases in the tax to pay for the Olympics just because I live in the area.

Yes well...!
