Hammerson Chief executive David Atkins said: “We are intending to take on board some of the comments people are raising." (But stuff you if you are made homeless by our Brent Cross shopping centre scheme.)

"A controversial, £800 million overhaul planned for Shoreditch may be changed to make more room for smaller tech firms after local opposition to the scheme, the head of developer Hammerson has said.
"Hammerson and partner Ballymore have submitted plans for the Bishopsgate Goodsyard — a vast, 10-acre site on the edge of the City — including the construction of almost 1500 homes in seven towers of up to 46 storeys, offices and shops.
"The scheme would also create a public park on the site — derelict since a 1964 fire — and restore the arches of the listed Braithwaite Viaduct, London’s second-oldest railway structure."
"... Chief executive David Atkins responded:
"We couldn't give a toss about the people made homeless by us at Brent Cross. Let the shopping centre expansion there rock!"
Oh, sorry, that was a mistake.
It should have said:
"We are intending to take on board some of the comments people are raising at Shoreditch."
