By no less an organ than the Daily Telegraph (now you know which paper this boater reads) today snips:-
A down at heel and niffy part of London will bear the name of Prescott forever. BW yesterday announced a £15m lock and flood control structure on the R Lea , which will be essential to the Olympics, it will be called Prescott sluices. Its close to where a storm outfall for the East End sewers enters the river and has been called Prescott channel since the 1930s. Officials ..revealed by their grins yesterday that the structure will always be associated with their former boss. (Snips) there will be a more important function of preventing raw sewage reaching the Olympic Park. Mark Bensted, BW London director, said This is the most important waterway restoration project in the country. And of course it will perpetuate the name of Prescott. Seems to me theres more than one topic for discussion here!!!! John [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
