THE Public Accounts Committee has concluded that the government greatly underestimated the cost of staging the London Olympics.

The cost has risen from £4bn to £9.5bn.

Representation Wessex would like to know how much of that legacy will be shared with Wessex? What we do know is that most of the legacy is earmarked for London. Wessexers, through their taxes, will be the losers.
