Please note that we are no longer inviting views on the strategy
| A strategy has been developed to maximise the benefits to the area of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Although they may seem a long way off, there are actions that need to happen now, for example registering facilities for inclusion in the training camps handbook that is being put together to be circulated at Beijing 2008.
There are five key themes:
- Secure a Long term legacy for the borough as a result of the London 2012 Olympic Games
- Maximise opportunities to create Active, Healthy Communities.
- Maximise opportunities for Tourism and Economic Development.
- Celebrate culture and bring communities together by developing a feel good factor and community pride
- Develop Partnerships with Business
The strategy has been developed in such a way as to allow for expansion of the actions dependent on the level of support and commitment. Using the Olympic medal table, it sets out bronze medal actions that we can deliver with our current level of resources, and silver and gold standards which are only achievable with new resources and new commitment from clubs, businesses and residents across the borough. A haul of gold medals and associated benefits is achievable only by everyone working together.
Please let us have your views about the draft strategy and also let us know whether you or your organisation can contribute to the medal haul in any way for example through sponsorship of athletes and events or by arranging groups of volunteers to help organise activities.
