Olympic Park neighbours invited to have their say

A series of events in the four Host Boroughs next to the Park will feature an interactive exhibition, activities for children and the chance to find out about the benefits the 2012 Games will bring to the East London.

Senior London 2012 staff and Olympic athletes will make special appearances at the events over the next month to talk to residents and hear their opinions on the Park.

The first event, held in Leyton on Saturday, attracted over 350 people from across the community.

Sebastian Coe, Chair of the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: "London was chosen to host the 2012 Games because of its diversity, unique heritage and the enthusiasm of local people.

"We want to invite people from all of London's communities particularly those who live around the Olympic Park to get involved and to reap the benefits the Games will bring."
