The Legacy Masterplan Framework (LMF)
The Legacy Masterplan Framework being prepared on behalf of the London Development Agency and its partners, will deliver a world-class model of sustainable urban regeneration, leading to a new piece of London within the Lower Lea Valley. The LMF envisages a district which responds to its context and the traditional growth patterns of the city, while delivering a contemporary urban environment that is flexible enough to adapt to future opportunities and challenges.

The LMF has evolved over the last nine months through an intensive process of technical work and testing, and collaborative working with a wide range of legacy partners and stakeholders. The work to date has culminated in the preparation of a preferred Legacy Framework, which is now presented for consultation with legacy partners, stakeholders and the wider public.

The preferred Legacy Framework is described and explained in a suite of documents which can all be accessed by contacting us.

Greater London Authority

The GLA is a unique form of strategic citywide government for London. It is made up of a directly elected Mayor - the Mayor of London - and a separately elected Assembly. The Mayor believes the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will have far-reaching benefits for London and Londoners, and the rest of the UK, creating jobs, attracting visitors and providing inspiration.More.. www.london.gov.uk/mayor/olympics

'A Sporting Future for London’, which was unveiled by the Mayor Boris Johnson and his Sports Commissioner, Kate Hoey on 28th April 2009, will see a total of over £30 million invested into grass-roots sport in London by 2012.The plan’s core legacy goals are to get more people active in sport, strengthen sporting infrastructure in the capital, build capacity and skills, and strengthen delivery so that there is a more coordinated provision of grass-roots sport in the capital. To ensure that these goals are met, the Mayor has set up a new strategic forum, the London Community Sports Board, which will improve the coordination of ongoing activity across the capital, drive delivery and monitor progress towards meeting the legacy goals. The Board, chaired by Kate Hoey, will work with key delivery partners including Pro-Active East London, monitor progress on the implementation of the Plan, support the delivery of stakeholders’ existing aims and objectives, and advise the Mayor on sporting priorities for London.

The Mayor wants to ensure an increase in sport participation and physical activity, assisting and complementing programmes already in place that tackle social problems including crime, academic underachievement and lack of community cohesion. This commitment will assist to ensure a coordinated pan-London approach to the activities of a number of sporting stakeholders and partners and, by taking a strategic lead on London-wide issues affecting sport and physical activity, will add value to ongoing work and fill gaps in existing provision.

The Mayor has four key goals, which underpin his commitment to increasing participation in sport and physical activity:

GOAL ONE Get more people active

GOAL TWO Transform the sporting infrastructure

GOAL THREE Build capacity and skills

GOAL FOUR Maximise the benefits of sport to our society

With a co-ordinated effort from all London’s sporting and physical activity stakeholders, these goals can be realised and a genuine sporting legacy for London established.

'Your 2012' clearly sets out the legacy opportunities and ongoing benefits that hosting the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in London in 2012 will bring to our city and the people living and working in it. There are many ways for Londoners to get behind the Games. The publication highlights initiatives that are already underway and making real, lasting improvements. But it also suggests ways that individuals and businesses can become involved. Only by working together will we truly be able to make the most of the opportunities that hosting the Games in 2012 offers us.

Your 2012

The five commitments that the Mayor is making to Londoners and by which he thinks the ultimate success of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be judged is found in the document below.

Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The Government Olympic Executive - part of DCMS - is the lead government department making sure that the Games bring the widest possible benefit to the whole of the UK.
This includes oversight of the Olympic budget; a focus and push to ensure the economic benefits of the Games are spread across the UK to maximize jobs and business opportunities; a pledge and campaign to get two million more people doing more sport and activity by 2012; and a department focused on providing a lasting legacy to the East End of London and the whole nation.

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide the UK’s tourism industry with its biggest opportunity in recent years.
DCMS, in partnership with VisitBritain and Visit London, launched "Winning: A Tourism Strategy for 2012 and Beyond" in September 2007 following the widest-ever consultation of the tourism sector.

This is the Government Olympic Executive’s second Annual Report. It outlines the progress that has been made in 2008 on building, staging and capitalising on the legacy benefits of the Games.

The Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) and the COI commissioned EdComs to undertake desk research to assess the potential of mega-events, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games in particular, to influence people’s wider attitudes and behaviour across the five legacy commitment areas.

These were:

• To make the UK a world-class sporting nation, in terms of elite success, mass participation and school sport.
• To transform the heart of East London.
• To inspire a new generation of young people to take part in local volunteering, cultural and physical activity.
• To make the Olympic Park a blueprint for sustainable living.
• To demonstrate that the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live in, to visit and for business.

The purpose of the research was to inform the development of a Legacy Action Plan

This action plan is about the long-term benefits that can be stimulated through London hosting the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in 2012. It builds on the DCMS promise for 2012, published in June 2007, which made five promises to set the scale for the ambition:

To make the UK a world-leading sporting nation
To transform the heart of East London
To inspire a generation of young people
To make the Olympic Park a blueprint for sustainable living
To demonstrate the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live in, visit and for business.

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is the public body responsible for developing and building the new venues and infrastructure for the Games and their use after 2012. Read More.. www.london-2012.co.uk/ODA

The Olympic Park
The Olympic Park will be a major new asset for London and the nation and the catalyst for large scale regeneration of an area which has hitherto been one of the most deprived in the UK. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be a unique, short-lived, event, however, thereafter the area will continue to develop into a significant sporting, social, economic, cultural and environmental hub for local, metropolitan, national and international visitors. As envisaged in the Opportunity Area Planning Framework, the Olympic Park is also part of a wider vision to regenerate the Lower Lea Valley, East London and the Thames Gateway.
