GOODBYE STRATFORD
By Gemma Mitchell
The Green family business is one of the hundreds of local firms forced to move to make way for the building of the Olympic Park. In one of the capitals largest compulsory purchase order schemes ever, the family has faced tough negotiations with the Government to get a fair price for Tyrone Textiles and the challenge of finding somewhere to relocate to. After months of careful planning the time has come and the family face an emotional farewell to Stratford.
