Preparations for the London 2012 Games are on track.

From progress on the Olympic Park to the thousands of people already inspired by London 2012, the Games are coming to life across the UK.

Progress by end of February 2010:

The construction of all the new main venues and infrastructure in the Olympic Park is well underway.

The wall and roof cladding on the International Broadcast Centre (IBC) has been completed and the Main Press Centre (MPC) has reached its full height.

Progress continues on the build of the Olympic Village with three of the 11 residential plots now structurally complete.
Work has been completed on the steel structure of the London 2012 Velodrome keeping it on track to be the first venue to be completed in the Olympic Park in early 2011.

The public investment for the ODA’s work was agreed in spring 2008 and the project remains within this budget.

1,500 UK businesses have won around £5 billion worth of Games-related contracts.
15,000 schools are part of the Get Set education programme.
More than 2.5 million children and young people in five countries have been reached by the International Inspiration programme, encouraging them to be active. The programme is expanding to 12 countries.
310 outstanding non-commercial projects and events have been recognised with the London 2012 Inspire mark. Sport, culture, education, sustainability, volunteering and business opportunities all feature.
There are currently 21 Live Sites around the UK - big screens and event spaces in urban centres offering live information, video, news and community events.
26 domestic commercial partners have signed up to the London 2012 programme, working to help deliver the Games and inspire the UK. The partnerships have generated more than £600 million.
