It's worth noting that the latest comments added to the council web-site:-
"I worked for the BBC for 40 years. Cost saving exercises have gradually eaten away at the foundation of the best broadcasting organisation in the world which was staffed by an unparalleled collection of programme makers all highly trained, motivated and skilled. Accountants, a breed correctly described as "knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing" lost sight of the fact that BBC makes programmes, removed programme makers like myself from the staff (formerly an investment now a cost) but retained even increased management who do not make programmes and it seems could not manage, squandering huge sums on Management Consultants. Management and Consultants had an increasing disconnection to and ignorance of programmes. Those who run the BBC have exhibited wanton ignorance of the reason for the BBC''s existence and furthermore, criminal negligence in the stewardship of the license payers ownership and investment in Broadcasting. Television Centre may still be saved and it is crucial to do so. Its loss will accelerate the downward spiral of BBC programme making to the point of no return. Cutting capacity will increase cost in TV production when the aim is to reduce cost."

"The current plans just don’t work. The three surviving studios, cut off from the natural infrastructure of the circle will be unable to function efficiently. Inadequate thought has been given to security, or the logistics of audiences, artists, scenery, equipment, etc. A noisy, 24-hour television operation, so close to residential property, is an impossible situation for both sides. The shared use of the Ring Road will render it inoperable. With Westfield Shopping Centre, Shepherd’s Bush Market and two busy high-streets nearby, the shops are unlikely to attract much custom. Likewise, the offices and the shoebox-sized flats for non-motorists may remain empty. After dark, the unsecured public areas are likely to become an unsavoury shelter for the substance-abusers of Shepherd’s Bush Green. And, as Pinewood Studios are now arguing, there is now a major shortage of studio space in the London area - so why demolish them?"

While I don't know the two contributors, I do agree with their sentiments.
