Some 28 years later, that company today owns 10,000 properties and 34% of the land in Poplar, and has brought in hundreds of millions of pounds in investment. At the moment, it has an investment programme of about £2 billion in play, where local residents have become seriously involved in issues of waste management—how you put it underground and how you remove the dustbins and all the rats—the size of balconies, bankers, money and all the rest of it. There is a great opportunity in the Bill and in what the Government are trying to achieve to start to rethink some of this stuff that is not working.
