Given your areas of responsibility is there any real need to extend this embargo to your section Miss D? Other sections of the carncul I can understand, but to threaten anybody with disciplinary action is totaly unecessary
As people will be getting to the games by road as well as other modes of transport, we are already deeply involved with the Olympics and have been more or less since the announcement of the games. Staff have of course been made aware of the games, and that it is PREFERRED that staff don't take leave in the weeks leading up to, throughout, and after the games as we have to ensure that routes are kept flowing
The whole thing is going OTT, as of 01.01.11 if we want to close a lane on the grandly named Olympic Route Network (ORN) with have to get permission off the Olympic Developement Authority (ODA) to do it. FFS, the games are still nearly two years away. Yet another layer of officialdom no doubt eager to exercise their new found powers, and we all know who's paying for it
