New lords for the royals
Article Abstract:
The London Docklands Development Corp (LDDC) will cease to coordinate the development of the Docklands area of London, England, from Mar 1998, and a number of bodies will take over its responsibilities. This is likely to have less of an impact on areas that are already developed than on areas such as the Royal Docks where there is still much redevelopment to be carried out. The Royal Docks have to attract investment, and the withdrawal of the LDDC means that some experience in promotion will be lost.
