Wanderings in an Olympic Wonderland (Part 2)

This is a good question to ask,

and one that people often ask themselves.

On our wanders around Stratford we also asked this question.

Specifically in relation to the people who live in the borough.

How will the Olympics affect the people in the area?

Will it be positive? Beneficial?

Or, will it be negative?

Will the new construction of flats and a shopping centre make the area better for locals?

Or, with a rise in the cost of living,

will it force people out

and split the community?
