"Fireworks begin too early for the City of London Corporation"
"This Saturday, the 684th lord mayor will be inaugurated to great
fanfare, at the annual Lord Mayor’s Show at St Paul’s and the Victorian
Embankment.
"But while mums and dads sip mulled wine and prop little ones up on their shoulders, fireworks of a less welcomed nature have already begun, as campaigners accuse the current lord mayor, Michael Bear, of pursuing a major conflict of interest over land purchases.
"Members of the Barbican Association are questioning the City of London Corporation’s decision to allow a major development in the Barbican area – London Wall Place – arguing that the developer, Hammerson, was given the green light, despite local opposition, because Bear is a Hammerson employee."
