Olympics

Asked if there would any guidance from the Prime Minister regarding the Olympics Bill statement, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister had set out his view in his visit this morning to the Westway. What was important was that this would give us a chance to regenerate one of the most deprived areas of the UK. It would also showcase Britain to a global audience, and it would give sport a massive boost. The PMOS said that it was not just about the festival of sport during the period of the Olympics; rather, it was also about a legacy that would last for decades. If people looked at the costs, they must remember that it would fund the biggest regeneration programme since the Second World War. It would be the biggest catalyst for regeneration for the Thames Gateway, and the 250 hectares of brownfield land would be transformed into the largest new urban park in Europe for 150 years.
