notice how in the article it says
>> The extensive scheme will transform one of the poorest
areas of the city, with the promise of thousands of new
jobs as the site is turned into a "world-class sports
and leisure complex".<<
what a load of crap, i bet they never create a thousand jobs , the local paper gave the staffing levels at 85 then moved it up to 145 ish
they are forcing small firms and businesses to shut down and move to other areas, this will cost jobs
