The Morning Advertiser Reports that concern has been raised as Transport for London (TfL) unveiled plans to bring in night-time deliveries as a “key” part of its strategy to deal with the demand on the transport network during the 2012 event.
British Beer & Pub Association chief executive Brigid Simmonds demanded that TfL and London boroughs move quickly to make decisions to allow the trade to plan. She said: “This is a big logistical challenge, with hundreds of central London pubs, and many more around the other Olympic venues, directly affected.
“Night-time deliveries will have a big impact on all the pubs affected, with staff needed on site at night to receive goods. Though beer delivery is the biggest challenge, this isn’t just about beer, as pubs receive a wide range of supplies.
“Transport for London and the boroughs need to move things forward quickly, so brewers, distributors and pubs can work together to overcome the bottlenecks.”
