More than 20 per cent of the Park workers live in the five Host Boroughs and over half (55 per cent) live in London.

The latest figures have been published in the ODA’s ‘Job, Skills, Futures’ update. This includes the ODA’s employment targets for the Olympic Park. One of which is that at least 15 per cent should be resident in the five Host Boroughs.

Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The “big build” of the Olympic Park and Olympic Village is on track and providing vital employment, training and business opportunities in London and across the UK.

‘Our steady progress on regenerating this part of east London is testament to the workforce on site and hard work of thousands across the UK, whether they are fabricating steel in Wales for the Aquatics Centre or growing wetland plants in Norfolk for the parklands.’
