A decision on the future use of London’s Olympic Stadium has been put on hold after the Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) said it needed “more time”. It had been anticipated that
the OPLC would recommend its preferred bidder to the government and the mayor of London on 28 January. However, the company said it needed further clarification to secure “the most appropriate solution” for the venue. West Ham United Football
Club is working alongside Newham Council on its bid, as well as Live Nation, Essex County Cricket Club and the University of East London. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has part- nered with entertainment operator AEG and is aiming to completely redevelop the stadium.

pEtE hayman
Recycled energy from a crematorium could be used to heat a leisure centre in Redditch, under proposals discussed by the local authority. Redditch Borough Council’s executive com-
mittee and full council debated the plans on 1 and 7 February respectively. In an attempt to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions, the council plans to recycle energy that would help heat the newly-redeveloped Abbey Stadium Leisure Centre. Energy generated from the flue gas clean-
ing process at the crematorium would heat the majority of the leisure centre site, which would otherwise have been wasted.
