Unfortunately there is always a temporary nature to the huge spending on such events that leave them as a debt rather than as a benefit. With hundreds of thousands spent on staging the sea front event you can go there now and it is no different. If instead of hiring in portable toilets the two toilet blocks had been refurbished there would be a positive legacy. Instead of importing in grown flowers and hanging bunting the underpass could have been refurbished and permanent planters built and planted, another positive legacy. It is not as if there was not notice of the Olympics.
Even in London the huge area redeveloped for the games has a lot of built in redundancy. The MacDonalds (healthy eating for sportsmen?) is designed to be demolished once the whole thing is over. By the end of the year East London could have just another football pitch to show for it all.
