Assembly launches Olympics inquiry

July 12, 2005 by Staff

London’s preparations to stage the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are to be kept under close scrutiny by the
London Assembly.

Key to the Assembly’s scrutiny of the 2012
Games will be ensuring that Londoners and businesses in the capital benefit from
the regeneration of parts of the city, improved transport services and enhanced
sports facilities.

The Assembly’s
Economic Development Committee

is
intending to keep an
eye on the progress of major Olympic projects to ensure they are finished on
time and that a lasting legacy is left for people who live and work in the
capital.

Dee Doocey AM, Chair of the Committee said:
“The Games, if managed properly, will leave a real legacy in terms of
sport, transport, economic benefits, regeneration and housing.”
