Govt to hold inquiry into Olympic legacy preparations

 


The Department of Culture, Media and Sport Committee is to carry out an inquiry into the preparations for “securing a lasting legacy from the 2012 Games”.


 


In a Parliamentary announcement yesterday, the DCMS said the committee was seeking view on:


 


– whether the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will deliver a lasting legacy of social, physical and economic regeneration;


 


– ways of maximising the value of the Olympic legacy both within the host boroughs, London and across the UK;


 


– the use and management of the Olympic Park and venues after 2012;


 


– progress towards meeting targets to increase grass roots participation in sport;


 


– the aim of leaving a lasting legacy that improves cultural life; and


 


– how success in delivering lasting legacy can be measured.


 


The committee will also examine other areas of interest that are raised during the course of its inquiry.


 


A copy of the submission should be sent by email to: cmsev@parliament.uk
