Newham and the 2012
Games
The London 2012 Games represent a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to raise the profile of the
borough, improve our transport networks and inspire people to
participate in sport and healthy lifestyles.
They will speed up the regeneration of Newham, East
London and the Thames Gateway, providing hundreds of jobs and
business opportunities before, during and after 2012.

process to develop an environmental legacy for all - which
is attractive, clean, safe, sustainable and accessible for
all
