New commitments to the community set

Ten new community commitments have been set to help reduce the impact of construction activity on the surrounding community, as work on the Olympic Park moves forward into the ‘big build’ phase.

A free hotline service is available 24 hours a day for anyone that has any questions or concerns regarding activity on and around the site - ensuring there are effective communication channels available for local residents.

All workers and visitors to the Park will be strongly encouraged to travel by public transport, reducing congestion on local roads. The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) is also committed to actively recycling and reusing construction materials, reducing the amount of waste taken away from site.

The new commitments were made by the ODA at the first meeting of the Olympic Park Engagement Network (OPEN) – a group which brings together representatives from community groups from the local boroughs of Newham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest.
