Politicians and Planning

 

They interfere and always muck it up!

I have been involved in planning projects since 1972. My software was used on such projects as the Jubilee Line, Space Shuttle, Chevaline, Eurofighter, Channel Tunnel etc.

You can look at projects that are on time and on budget, like the DLR extension to Lewisham. That was just a design and build for a fixed fee and politicians stayed out of the way.

Look at Wembley where all the world and his wife has a say.

Politicians must define the limits and parameters and they stay out of it. Unfortunately, their DNA doesn't allow it. Perhaps that's why they're politicians. They aren't any good at anything creative, so they just destroy the good work of others.
