During his previous period of office there was continual evidence to support that Alan has an natural instinct for new initiatives to experienced before with the onset of London 2012. We have to capitalise on this and undoubtedly Alan Ransome and his management team will have the experience, ability and knowledge to do this better than anyone else.
