    Of the current 4,434 strong workforce on the Park, 20 per cent live within the five Host Boroughs - Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. This is above the target of 10-15 percent set by the ODA.

    The new figures also show that 10 per cent of workers on site were previously unemployed, and 10 per cent are doing a traineeship, apprenticeship or work placement on the Park.
