Can 16 years after the closure really be considered "very very early"? (Not having a pop, just asking folks opinions)
Can't help but think the whole project, to date, has been a monumental fuck-up. Granted, the original decontamination program was always going to take years, but the lack of real progress in my opinion has been staggering. If rumours are to believed, there are still serious contamination issues which will hamper further development.
I might be being unfair in the extreme here, but it's hard to imagine another local council (and associated contractors) that could have made a bigger arse of this than NLC...
