Those who work in the area are largely performers, or people inside shops. And NOBODY lives near enough to be bothered by the noise during the day. This email is a fatuous attempt to provide a pro-hoc rationalisation for a decision already taken. One interesting point is that she mentions those who ‘live and work in the area’.

May be worth checking out these comments in Property Week back in November... "Brand and marketing guru Churchill, who has worked at Tesco and with Vittorio Radice at Selfridges, has been taken on by Liberty International-owned Capital & Counties to turn Covent Garden from a tourist trap with tatty market stalls and buskers into a world-class retail and leisure destination with a top-end designer boutique hotel, designer retailers and restaurants. Her most recent job was with retail billionaire Sir Philip Green." Seems in stark contrast to her claims in the last few days that they're "not looking to turn Covent Garden into a shopping mall".
