LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES

1.1. The report details the opportunities for the Borough from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It outlines a strategy of engagement with key Olympic and Paralympic programmes being developed by external agencies (notably the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Olympic Development Authority, the London Development Agency, Department of Culture Media and Sport, other Government agencies, the voluntary and community sector, and the private sector). It presents a preliminary programme of activities which is being further developed with Heads of Service in the Directorates. The strategy is also being further developed through the Tower Hamlets Partnership. Where specific programme ideas have significant resource implications they will be brought back to Cabinet for approval.
