Corporate Director Development and Renewal Originating officer(s) Dr Tim Williams, Head of Service, Olympic and Paralympic Games

Title: London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy – Strategy and Programme Wards Affected: All

1. SUMMARY

1.1. The report details the opportunities for the Borough from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It outlines a strategy of engagement with key Olympic and Paralympic programmes being developed by external agencies (notably the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Olympic Development Authority, the London Development Agency, Department of Culture Media and Sport, other Government agencies, the voluntary and community sector, and the private sector). It presents a preliminary programme of activities which is being further developed with Heads of Service in the Directorates. The strategy is also being further developed through the Tower Hamlets Partnership. Where specific programme ideas have significant resource implications they will be brought back to Cabinet for approval.

2. RECOMMENDATIONS

Cabinet is recommended to:- 2.1. Approve the Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Strategy and Programme

referred to in Section 4 of the report and detailed in Appendix 1, subject to necessary and appropriate minor amendments to ensure that the Strategy and Programme are accurate, coherent and reflect the views of the Tower Hamlets Partnership;

2.2. Authorise the Corporate Director Development and Renewal to make appropriate and necessary minor amendments to the Olympic and Paralympic Legacy Strategy and Programme.

3. BACKGROUND

3.1. The Borough was heavily involved in framing the successful London 2012 Bid. After the bid was won on 6 July 2005, there was an inevitable period of pause in East London. In June 2006, the Chief Executive and the Director of Development and Renewal concluded that there needed to be a renewed strategic thrust in order to exploit the emerging opportunities presented by the Games for our communities. The previous authorisation to establish an Interim Olympic and Paralympic Games Unit was activated. An appointment was made on an interim basis to develop the Strategy in conjunction with officers from across the Directorates and the wider Partnership. A draft Strategy was presented to CMT and PMG in September 2006.

3.2. In parallel to this activity within the Borough, all Olympic agencies (London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Olympic Development Authority), the London Development Agency and the Mayor of London have been galvanised into developing policies and strategies relating to the Games and their legacy. A new 5 Borough entity has been established. There are now new opportunities to both add value and engage our communities. The Strategy that follows is the Borough’s response and strategic way forward.

3.3. In addition, a detailed Cultural Programme and Strategy is being developed in conjunction with the 5 Boroughs which will have a strong Olympic and Paralympic theme.

4. BODY OF THE REPORT

4.1. The Strategy follows as an appendix.

5. COMMENTS OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

5.1. The report seeks Cabinet’s approval to the proposed Olympic and Paralympic legacy strategy, along with a series of programmes, to enable the borough to harness the maximum benefit from the games for the local community.

5.2. Whilst the strategy itself at this stage does not commit the Council to any additional expenditure, if agreed it will provide a focus for prioritisation of resources, within the framework of existing strategies aligned to the Community Plan. However many of the programmed activities set out in the body of the report will have significant financial implications for the Council, and for public and private partners. These will require full exploration of costs and funding opportunities. Key decisions will be brought back to Cabinet for approval prior to project initiation.

5.3. All costs incurred in producing the strategy have been contained within the agreed Olympics development budget.

6. CONCURRENT REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT CHIEF EXECUTIVE (LEGAL)

6.1. There are no immediate legal implications arising from this report.

7. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IMPLICATIONS

7.1. An independent Equalities Impact Assessment of this Strategy has been undertaken. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Strategy and Programme has sought to take account of all necessary legislation with respect to equal opportunities. A key objective of the Strategy is to promote and enhance social inclusion and community cohesion in the Borough. The strategy has undertaken an independent equality impact assessment and measures will be taken to ensure that the delivery of the strategy will address equality and diversity impacts both likely and actual throughout the course of the delivery of this strategy. The impact assessment has identified areas where there are likely equality and diversity impacts (both positive and adverse) and has set out plans to ensure that any adverse impacts are mitigated. The impact assessment states that the strategy will need to be monitored rigorously to ensure that the Borough’s strong commitment to equality, diversity and community cohesion are upheld.

8. ANTI-POVERTY IMPLICATIONS

8.1. A key intention of the Strategy is to improve the prospects for prosperity for all residents and businesses in the Borough.

9. SUSTAINABLE ACTION FOR A GREENER ENVIRONMENT

9.1. Theme 4 of the Strategy – A Transformed Environment – includes a number of programmes designed to improve the environment of the Borough, particularly around improvements to open space provision.

10. RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

10.1. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy – Strategy and Programme is intended to achieve significant change through the co-ordinated execution of multiple projects. Ultimately it will give rise to numerous sponsoring organisations, together with contributions from service providers, suppliers and third party organisations. The environment is complex and dynamic. At any point in the programme’s life there will be events or situations that may affect the direction of the programme, the delivery of its outputs or achievements of its benefits.

10.2. At the strategic level there are a number of drivers (political, financial, operational) arising while the programme is emerging, which may alter the scope and lead to changes in direction. Consideration must be given to the consequences of failing to realise the opportunities for business benefit, so far as they link to, for example, the Tower Hamlets Community Plan, Olympic and Paralympics Lobbying Strategy and Games Communication Strategy and Protocol.

3

10.3. A major area of risk to any programme is where inter-dependencies change, giving rise to new sources of risk. The achievements of the programme’s benefits may be frustrated if such risks are not managed. Other risks to the programme may arise if the underlying assumptions of the business case change, potentially making the business case or significant parts of it invalid.

10.4. Operationally the Olympic and Paralympics Legacy Delivery Unit must be fit-for purpose. It must have sufficient capacity to both lead on local programmes and to engage effectively with the Mayoral-GLA Olympic and Paralympics Games Programme Objectives, the ODA, LOCOG, the 5 Host Borough Organisation, and Government more widely. Failure to recruit the key skills for this unit in a timely manor could be a source of a number of risks.

10.5. It is essential that the Olympic and Paralympics Legacy Delivery Unit produce the Risk Management Strategy. This strategy will guide the programme to reduce or mitigate risk, to develop alternative courses of action and to communicate both the means of averting risks and the responsibilities for this.

11. EFFICIENCY STATEMENT

11.1. The report sets out a proposed legacy programme, aligned to existing strategies, working in partnership to maximise the economic and social benefit to Tower Hamlets. All new initiatives will be assessed in terms of their value for money.

Strategy and Programme

London Borough of Tower Hamlets

Development and Renewal Directorate London Borough of Tower Hamlets Anchorage House, Clove Crescent, E14 2BG Version: 21 November 2006 © London Borough of Tower Hamlets, 2006.

The Olympics in 2012, when the eyes of the world will again be on London, give us a timetable to work towards. Visitors should be shown the new infrastructure supporting economic growth.

They should see the new schools and hospitals, the new housing and the regenerated derelict sites. And we should show that even in the face of global tensions, it is a fair and tolerant

city, welcoming to all, tackling the deprivation and unemployment in our midst and promoting community

harmony.

Tony Blair MP, The Prime Minister, Building on Success: London’s Challenge for 2012,

Government Office for London, April 2006. "London as a whole will benefit but not our community unless

somebody does something. I've not seen any evidence that the Olympic people are thinking how to involve our people. It's just

not happening."

“The people in charge are living in another world. Only last week the fellow in charge of construction of the Olympics said, ‘I don't care where are the workers come from, I just need the

people’."

“Believe me, this place will suffer - we won't get the jobs but we will get all the negative things like traffic and stuff. At the end of the day people who are unemployed around here will

still be unemployed."

1 Introduction

The Challenge

1. On the 6th July 2005, London won the right to host the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games on Tower Hamlets’ doorstep.

2. Following the decision of the International Olympic Committee to award London the Games, Tower Hamlets, one of only 5 Olympic Host Boroughs and the only Borough to host the headquarters of the Olympic agencies delivering both the Games and the regeneration legacy, has a once in a lifetime opportunity to grasp the benefits such an event can bring for the area, its communities, its young people and its workforce.

3. Whatever the potential material gains for the Borough, everyone in Tower Hamlets should have the opportunity to experience in one way or another the greatest sporting event on earth. Fundamentally our strategy must be to exploit the Games for local benefit and to enable the greatest number locally to simply enjoy the experience – and in the process make a step change towards achieving key goals for the Borough of increasing and sharing prosperity, of making better places and of bringing our communities closer together. In helping to deliver the Games we also seek to raise our game as a Council, a Borough, a partnership and a community. Game on!

4. To achieve our goals requires high level skills of strategising, project formation, coordination, influencing, lobbying, and programme management. The ‘legacy’ of the Games is much discussed. What needs to be grasped is that there is no consensus across the large number of agencies as to what precisely that legacy will be. What is clear already is that faced with rising infrastructure budgets, looming deadlines and increased security concerns, the wider ambitions for legacy will come under pressure. The risk is that some will fall by the wayside. In that context, it is vital that each Host Borough has a clear idea of the Olympic programme and legacy it wants to achieve from the process and what it wants to gain by working collaboratively with stakeholders and partners in bodies such as the 5 Host Borough organisation.

5. For Tower Hamlets that legacy must not just be about buildings and infrastructure, vital though it will be to get those things right on our doorstep. It will incorporate programmes for increased jobs and training, business opportunities, corporate social responsibility, physical activity and health. It will be about enhancing the image and the reality of where we live and work – and maintaining these improvements for generations to come by putting environmental sustainability at the centre of all our work around the Olympics, for example by minimising the carbon emissions that this work generates. It will be about combating worklessness and creating new opportunities for young people. But it will also be about building new civic pride and a shared identity in diverse communities as the people who collectively will help put on the ‘best Games ever’.

6. At the London 2012 Bid Presentation in Singapore, the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone talked about: “A city in which 300 languages are spoken every day and those who speak them live happily side-by-side.” Central to achieving the best Games ever in Tower Hamlets will be building community cohesion. The challenge to the

2

Games organisers is to deliver a truly inclusive Olympic and Paralympic Games and one which enhances cohesion amongst the city’s diverse communities. This has not been a stated aim of previous Games. Many of the actions resulting from this strategy are designed to promote cohesion. More widely, the task is to ensure the Games as a whole are delivered with this as a central objective.

7. The potential exists, as has been seen in previous host cities, to transform an area and the life chances and experiences of many. But experience demonstrates that these benefits will not happen automatically. The Olympic opportunity for Tower Hamlets has to be seen and seized. This is the real challenge of the 2012 Games.

The Vision

8. To be truly relevant to the area and be sustainable the Games Legacy Strategy and Programme must link with the Community Plan. The Community Plan is the plan for the future of Tower Hamlets. It describes the kind of place that the people who live and work in the Borough want it to be. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are part of the Borough’s future. There is now an opportunity for a review of the Community Plan with the full input of residents and partners in order to reflect the opportunities and challenges presented by the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

9. The vision and spirit of the Strategy is for these to be the community cohesion Games. This represents an opportunity for people in Tower Hamlets to benefit from the Games but also to contribute to them. Elements in the Strategy address different audiences or target groups. All groups should benefit and contribute – BME groups, women, older people, people with disabilities, faith groups, children and young people, and GLBT people. A central motif of the strategy is that the Games provide bridges between and within groups in Tower Hamlets. We will seek to engage all the diverse communities in the Borough in our work around the Games. We will take measures to ensure that the delivery of the Strategy fully addresses equality and diversity impacts both likely and actual throughout the course of the delivery of this Strategy. The Strategy will be monitored rigorously to ensure that the Borough’s strong commitment to equality, diversity and community cohesion is upheld.

10. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games provide a unique opportunity for the Borough. This opportunity can be expressed in four principles that are fully aligned with the Community Plan. These are:

Creating and Sharing Prosperity – bringing investment and employment into the Borough and ensuring that all residents and businesses are in a position to benefit from, and contribute to, growing economic prosperity as a result of the Games.

A Socially Cohesive Community – celebrating the rich cultural diversity of local

communities; strengthening community networks and organisations; and enabling the community to develop as a whole.

A Transformed Environment – ensuring that the alluring physical transformation

anticipated in the Olympic Park is matched with the physical transformation within Tower Hamlets.

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Experience – providing every

Tower Hamlets resident with an opportunity to have a Games experience, whether participating, volunteering, or being a spectator.

The London 2012 Pledge

11. London 2012 in the Candidature File pledged to the International Olympic Committee the core ‘priorities and potential’ of a London Olympic Games:1

Putting the needs of athletes first; Harnessing London’s passion for sport; Creating a legacy to transform sport in the UK; Regenerating east London communities and their environment.

12. The following text clearly lays out the London 2012 pledge to regenerate the Lower

Lea Valley and surrounding communities. The commitment is set in a context of social inclusion, equal opportunities, a more active society, and a reduction in health inequalities. These are high aspirations.

London 2012 – East London Regeneration Pledge

The Olympic Park will become a hub for east London, bringing communities together and acting as a catalyst for profound social and economic change. It will become a model of social inclusion, opening up opportunities for education, cultural and skills development and jobs for people across the UK and London, but especially in the Lea Valley and surrounding areas.

The new facilities in the Olympic Park will be open to the whole community, not just elite athletes. This will lead to more opportunities for everyone to participate in sport and physical activity. This will create a more inclusive, more active community, leading to a fitter society and reducing health inequalities.

13. The question is: will a spectacular physical legacy be built for 2012 but bypass the

communities? Will the Games deliver increased prosperity and enhanced social cohesion? The benefits are not automatic. The opportunities have to be seen and seized. The programmes in this report will show how this can be achieved for the people of Tower Hamlets.

14. With the success of the Bid, a series of Olympic and Paralympic Games Programme Objectives have been agreed by LOCOG, the ODA, the Government, the British Olympic Association, the Mayor of London, and principal stakeholders. These objectives were approved by the Olympic Board at its meeting on 29 March 2006. These comprise four strategic objectives and 44 sub-objectives (see table on next page).

15. Over half of these are directly relevant to Tower Hamlets. Over the past year, these principles and ambitions have been developed into a series of London focussed legacy Delivery Plans by the London 2012 Co-ordination Working Group, the GLA and partners. These cover employment and skills, wider economic benefits, international promotion, increasing sports participation in London, culture, education, health, volunteering, sustainable procurement, sustainable development, and sports venue legacy. The focus of the sub-objectives is on London as a whole rather than East London. These sub-objectives will be cross-referenced in the themed programmes developed in this report. Tower Hamlets along with the 5 Host Boroughs made representations concerning the Delivery Plans in October 2006.

[INSERT OBJECTIVES]

Showing Off or Showing Up the City?

16. Legacies and impacts can be negative. The Games can not only ‘show off the city’ but can ‘show it up’. The Games themselves focus world media attention on the host city to an unprecedented degree. For London in the year 2012, will the eyes of the world be on a city where deprivation stands side by side with wealth? Or will the world see a transformed East London and the promises made to the IOC in July 2005 having been fulfilled?

17. The quote from the Prime Minister at the start of this document demonstrates the challenge of showing off the host city. The challenge is to reveal London as a tolerant place but also one where deprivation and unemployment are being tackled.

18. Re-imaging is a further aspect of this dimension of Olympic Games. This marketing concept has gained much currency in the literature around mega-events or hallmark events and their effects on cities. The Seoul Olympics in 1988 had as a major objective the re-imaging of South Korea to overseas tourists. The Atlanta Games in 1996 sought to portray the city as racially harmonious and having more to offer than a mere conference city.

19. It is perhaps this aspect of the Olympic Games that offers the most promise for Tower Hamlets as a core element of an Olympic-led regeneration strategy. Much has been spoken about the 2012 Games changing the orientation of the capital – a city with a vibrant East End as well as a vibrant West End. Tower Hamlets is thus uniquely placed between the City of London and Olympic Park to look both West and East and to claim its place in the capital.

From East End to Dividend

20. Understanding the constraints and opportunities is critical to the success of the Games legacy. The key task is to ensure that Games dividends are created in the key areas that were outlined in broad terms in the Bid.

21. The SWOT analysis on the following page demonstrates that delivering the Olympic dividend will not be easy. It is certainly not automatic – as the evidence from other Olympic cities amply attests. Clear guiding principles and a focussed action plan will be essential – as will understanding what the precise nature of the dividend for Tower Hamlets amounts to.

The Programmes of Action

22. The programmes that follow have been developed in consultation with the Local Strategic Partnership, key stakeholders and partners, the council Directorates, and many others. They form a coherent set of actions that will underpin the longer term transformation of Tower Hamlets.

Tower Hamlets – Olympic Programme and Legacy SWOT Analysis

Strengths Location between west end and the Games. Strong Council leadership. Youth and enthusiasm. Borough is a strong supporter of the Games. Engagement in Olympic Programme and

Legacy planning by stakeholders. Successful Local Strategic Partnership –

experience in maximising opportunities Effective Local Area Partnerships. Integrated Community Plan. Good community relations. Improving schools and pupil attainment

levels. Large number of cultural institutions. Local enthusiasm for the Games. Up to date regeneration strategies

Weaknesses Lack of experience in large hallmark events. Borough possibly not viewed as a main

player. Most of the Games activities lie outside the

Borough boundary. Suspicion in some parts of the community

that the event is not for them. Experience of other major regeneration

initiatives that have not delivered benefits to local people.

Benefits of the Games could easily by-pass Tower Hamlets.

High level of worklessness in the Borough.

Opportunities Tower Hamlets as the Gateway to the 2012

Games. Opportunity to capture the transformative

potential of the Games to catalyse regeneration in the Borough.

Galvanising all partners in regeneration and most importantly the community.

The London 2012 regeneration commitment. Presence of Canary Wharf – Olympics HQ. Many large corporate headquarters in the

Borough. Renewed emphasis on Corporate Social

Responsibility. Largest Bangladeshi community in the UK. Youthful population. The Lower Lea regeneration being the

‘biggest show in town’. Renewed emphasis on the Western London

Thames Gateway. The four year Olympic cultural programme

post Beijing 2008. Tower Hamlets as an Olympic Site. Olympic visitors have to pass through the

Borough. Volunteering and participation by local

residents. Potential to re-image the Borough amongst

local residents, regionally, and internationally. Developing the tourist industry, particularly

the MICE market.

Threats The Games may stall or threaten other key

elements in the Borough’s Regeneration Strategy – for instance, delays to Crossrail and/or the scrapping of Whitechapel as a station.

The Games may be all pain and no gain for local residents – having to live with construction impacts, increased traffic and crowds during the event, but not being able to afford to attend the Games.

Olympic tourists may never stop to visit the Borough.

The regeneration of the Lower Lea Valley may increasingly be driven by the requirements of the event itself.

Games budget blow-outs may limit regeneration initiatives.

Security considerations may over-ride urban design considerations about access through the Olympic site.

A new ‘red line’ may occur dividing the Olympic site and areas to the west of the River Lea.

Employment opportunities may by-pass Tower Hamlets’ residents if skills base not improved.

Local businesses and people may miss out on Olympic contracts.

Funding bodies may perceive Tower Hamlets as well-resourced, hence loss of potential programmes.

2 Theme 1 – Creating and Sharing Prosperity

Context

23. Tower Hamlets ranks as one of the most deprived areas of the country on a wide range of indicators, including employment rates, quality and availability of affordable housing, health inequalities, and relatively high crime levels. All are exacerbated by economic deprivation. Unemployment has fallen in line with the national trend. However, Tower Hamlets still has a higher level of unemployment (13.6%) than the inner London average (6.3%). This is despite the high levels of economic growth that can be witnessed in many parts of the Borough.

24. Of even more concern, Tower Hamlets has one of the highest rates of unemployment for those aged 16–24, representing over 30% of JSA claimants (2,700 unemployed young people). Transition from school to work or post-16 education is a particular problem, with nearly 700 young people aged 16-18 not in education, employment or training (NEET).

25. The Olympic Games have the potential to generate major increases in prosperity for a city or region. Impacts often flow through to an entire national economy. According to one independent study (Blake 20052), London alone will experience a net change in Gross Domestic Product of £5.9 billion over 2005-2016. In addition, 38,875 additional FTE jobs will be created.

26. The London 2012 Games opportunity is to make a generational shift in worklessness and employment chances. Tackling this issue is a crucial objective of this Strategy. The Olympic and Paralympic Games represent the most significant regeneration catalyst the Borough is likely to see in a lifetime. The economic benefits of the Olympic Games need to be captured locally, particularly by the large youthful population.

27. Making an impact on worklessness in Tower Hamlets and providing opportunities for work and enterprise will bring a range of benefits: increased purchasing power, improved health and self-esteem, reduced involvement in crime, and improved life chances for children and young people, whether in the community or public care. Community cohesion can be fostered as economic polarisation diminishes.

28. Some of the key elements of the programme are discussed below.

Local Employment and Training Framework

29. The 5 Boroughs have secured a commitment to, and funding for, job brokerage, skills enhancement and business support through the Local Employment and Training Framework (LETF). This is one of the statutory frameworks under the original planning permission for the Olympic Games. This framework offers a range of activities and interventions to help local residents secure employment and a range of

2 Blake, A. 2005, The Economic Impact of the London 2012 Olympics, Nottingham University Business School.

8

services to assist local companies maximise their chances of gaining access to Olympic opportunities. Although the LETF will cease to be part of the statutory planning process with the revised planning application for Olympic Park to be submitted by the ODA in January 2007, the LDA and ODA have committed themselves to support the LETF. The Borough needs to ensure that the commitment is fully implemented.

30. Work has already commenced to develop initiatives through the LETF. In November 2005, the London Development Agency announced a £9 million funding package to support the LETF. This included a job brokerage and outreach programme, specialist construction employment support, a local 2012 Business Club, supply chain support, and a local young people’s education programme. The launch of the Local Labour and Business Centre occurred at the end of October 2006 along with the first LETF Board Meeting.

City Strategy for East London

31. In March 2006, the Government announced its intention to develop an East London pathfinder under the Department for Work and Pensions’ City Strategies initiative. With key partners, the LDA/GLA, Learning and Skills Council and Jobcentre plus, the 5 Boroughs are forming a local partnership board to align funds, expertise and action to tackle worklessness. This wider partnership, a City Strategy for East London, will work alongside the London Employment and Skills Taskforce (LEST) to further develop the LETF and maximise the employment opportunities presented by the City/Canary Wharf and the development of the Thames Gateway.

32. The experience of launching the Pathways to Work pilots on worklessness elsewhere in the country has uncovered many practical issues on participation, assessment and brokerage which should be applied in the City Strategy which is now being introduced. If Tower Hamlets is to capture its fair share of sustainable employment for those who are suffering from worklessness, it should ensure that the lessons learned from the Pathways programmes are fully understood and are introduced by the DWP led partnership when operational in the Borough.

Local Enterprise Growth Initiative

33. The Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI) was announced by the Chancellor in the 2005 Budget. A joint programme of HM Treasury, the Department for Communities and Local Government, and the Department for Trade and Industry, it aims to release the economic and productivity potential of the most deprived local areas across the country through enterprise and investment, thereby boosting local incomes and employment opportunities, and building sustainable communities.

34. The £26 million LEGI Bid submitted on behalf of the 5 Boroughs in September 2006 specifically aims to capture the economic benefits of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in terms of expenditure and contracts for local firms. Moreover, it aims to provide the prospect of long term change in the patterns of enterprise and wealth creation in the Host Boroughs.

35. The LEGI Bid is based on the premise that connecting residents and business to the many current programmes of capital investment is the best route to renewal. The bid is centred around three complementary workstreams:

9

East London Means Business. This aims to link buyer organisations with local businesses in order to ensure that the additional demand from new developments will become opportunities for local businesses.

Gold Standard Gateways. This recognises the economic development potential of

increased spending power from growth in local residents and workforce. This workstream is targeted at physical renewal of high streets and improved transport linkages.

Enterprise Starting Blocks. Making enterprise pervasive requires outreach and

marketing programmes. Ten years of LEGI funding would enable programmes to target young people, individuals from BME communities, people on incapacity benefit and lone parents to pursue the enterprise option.

36. Whether or not the 5 Host Boroughs are successful in this round, it will be necessary

to pursue the themes and programmes of this LEGI Bid in future rounds or through other funding streams.

The Global City Challenge

37. Canary Wharf is the newest and most prominent part of the London economy. It is the flagship of the London Docklands project and is part of the capital’s global financial hub. The first tenants moved into Canary Wharf in August 1991. Now, 80,000 people work in Canary Wharf. By 2012 over 100,000 will work there and there is a potential to double Canary Wharf’s workforce by 2026. The Olympics represents a once in a lifetime opportunity for the corporate sector in Canary Wharf to directly affect the lives of young people on their doorstep. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a major platform for companies to demonstrate that they are interested in more than the ‘bottom-line’. The Olympics is likely to generate a major ‘push’ by companies at the Wharf around the CSR agenda.

38. Currently, Canary Wharf tenants include major banks such as Credit Suisse, HSBC, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Barclays, as well as major news media firms, including The Telegraph, The Independent, Reuters, and the Daily Mirror. Global law firm Clifford Chance is also based here. It has also gained more tenants from the public sector, including the Financial Services Authority and 2012 Olympic Games organisers LOCOG and the Olympic Delivery Authority. It is now truly Olympics HQ!

39. The Global City Challenge has two focuses – a ‘narrow and deep’ focus and a ‘broad and shallow’ focus. The narrow and deep programme provides for a small group of young people aged 14 to 19 to obtain private sector sponsored scholarships in further and higher education in a range of fields. This programme will enable these young people to have an intense and potentially life-changing experience. The broad and shallow programme aims to touch all young people in the Borough. The aim is that everyone aged between 14 and 19 will have the opportunity to have a mentor to enable them to lift their ambitions and find a promising direction and start in life. We will ensure that both strands of the Global City Challenge programme appropriately target young people with disabilities.

40. To commence the Global City Challenge, companies based in Canary Wharf will be asked to establish mentoring and scholarship programmes in their fields of business and enterprise, such as law, financial services, SME development, accountancy, journalism and media.

10

41. ELBA and the Canary Wharf Group are key partners in the Global City Challenge. A consortium led by these two organisations has recently won £30m from the Big Lottery Fund for projects across the UK. It is intended that foundations and other potential funding sources, such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, be approached to support the project.

Employing People with Disabilities

42. People with disabilities experience exclusion in a wide range of forms, including barriers to taking up employment and training opportunities. The Paralympic Games will provide an opportunity to raise awareness of these and other issues relating to disability. Working with the major employers clustered in Canary Wharf, we will develop a programme that encourages businesses of all sizes to employ more people with disabilities, making arrangements that look beyond minimum statutory obligations in accommodating their needs.

South Asian Business Development

43. A recent report published by the Young Foundation examined attitudes and aspirations of South Asian owned businesses in Brick Lane in Tower Hamlets and Green Street in Newham3. The report makes the case for a marketing campaign to highlight the uniqueness of these two South Asian retail/restaurant districts. This would enable them to become national and perhaps internationally recognisable brands. The study also pointed to the need for effective community engagement and consultation with both the businesses and the wider communities.

44. Furthermore, it highlights the need to target employment and skills initiatives to ensure that minority communities fully benefit from these opportunities. These proposals should be acted on in Tower Hamlets. For example, a Place Manager or Town Centre Manager could be appointed to drive the development of Spitalfields/Banglatown in a direction consistent with the aspirations of the local communities and to ensure the Olympic opportunities are fully captured locally.

Marketing the Markets

45. A significant element of Tower Hamlet’s cultural diversity is rooted in neighbourhood merchandising. The Banglatown retailers are a well known presence and the self-evident air of festival which prevails in that neighbourhood is already well known. It is clear that the links between the Bangladeshi communities and the Bangladesh Olympic team could be a distinctive event in the lead up to 2012.

46. Further afield there are equally strong merchandising assets which can be exploited in the network of street markets which extends from Banglatown to Old Spitalfields then down to Toynbee Street and Petticoat Lane and through to Whitechapel Road. These markets are not only a robust example of community and neighbourhood retailing but can also become a unique venue for shoppers to enjoy the special character of the area and benefit from the Borough’s diverse cultural offer in different ways. Improving the markets’ space and their setting will contribute significantly to public realm improvements – and with a clear focus.

Meetings, Incentive Travel, Conference and Exhibition Industry (MICE)

47. There is much scope for development of the hospitality, leisure, travel and tourism sector (HLTT) sector alongside the Olympic Games. The meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) tourism sub-market is worth examining in more detail as the potential is large. A local labour force component of this theme is designed to address labour shortages in key growth sectors by up-skilling local residents, particularly the workless under 25 year old group. The HLTT and MICE sectors are key opportunities. Both tourism and economic development strategies need to address this expanding opportunity. Development of initiatives in this area should be conducted in collaboration with ELBA.

48. There is a major opportunity to stage an International South Asian Business Expo as a 5 Borough initiative in the lead up to the Games, to promote business links and mutual investment opportunities. India in particular, and South Asia more widely, is a major emerging economy. Delhi is hosting the 2010 Commonwealth Games. One of its objectives is to showcase India as a major modern world economy – a major place to invest but also a significant world economic player. This opportunity should be seriously investigated as to its feasibility. The following issues would need to be addressed in such a preliminary feasibility study:

The timing of the Expo – whether before (2010-2011), during the Games year (2012), or after (2013-2014);

The location of the event – whether it is a multi-site Expo, utilising the many venues in East and South East London, or just a single site event;

Linkages with South Asia communities in other parts of London (especially West and South London);

The focus of the Expo (specific or broad) – such as ITC, financial services/banking, current export opportunities, technology transfer, developments in textiles, education/university sector, research and development;

Potential sponsorship opportunities and benefits for local Tower Hamlets residents; net cost, cost recovery.

Mobilising Opportunities

49. If the Games do not deliver a marked improvement in employment and prosperity to Tower Hamlets, a major regeneration opportunity will be lost. Both small firms and local people have to be involved in this aspect of economic regeneration for the Olympic promise to East London – so boldly put in the Candidature File – to become a reality. Economic impact assessments of these and past Games point to the fact that economic and employment benefits tend to be widely dispersed, in this case, throughout London and the South East. There is the danger that large numbers of construction jobs will not be sourced locally. Those procuring for and delivering the Games need to implement the principles and programmes in LETF, City Strategy and LEGI and also ensure that small business gets a real share of the economic action.

50. Those involved in the 5 Boroughs on initiatives such as City Strategy East London, the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative, and the Local Employment and Training Framework understand the primacy of addressing worklessness. This is most pressing amongst people aged 16 to 25. This focus should not be lost in the plethora of business and skills initiatives. Indeed a major element in addressing worklessness is harnessing the interest of all businesses in becoming involved in some way in the discrete elements of addressing worklessness. These are now much better understood and can be pursued through the City Strategy for East London.

3 Theme 2 – A Socially Cohesive Community

Concept

51. All the themes in this Strategy are intended to make Tower Hamlets a more socially cohesive and inclusive place. In this section, we look at those issues that significantly and directly contribute to community cohesion and well-being: health, education, crime reduction, sport and culture. Community cohesion is a key theme in enhancing the opportunity provided by the Games to build bridges between and among communities in the Borough. This also provides clear links with the Tower Hamlets Community Plan.

52. Tower Hamlets is a youthful and growing Borough. It has comparatively high unemployment and low rates of owner-occupation compared with the rest of England and Wales. It has generally poor health indicators but rapidly improving schools. Tower Hamlets remains a Borough with high levels of deprivation.

53. Tower Hamlets had a total population of 196,106 at the 2001 Census. By 2016, the population is projected to increase to at least 260,000. It is the fastest growing Borough in London. Tower Hamlets has a very youthful population, with over 34% of the population aged between 20 and 34 years of age and 28% under 20 years of age.

54. Tower Hamlets is a highly diverse Borough. The distinctive feature is its large Bangladeshi community, which represents 33.4% of the resident population. Black Africans make up 3.4% and Black Caribbean 2.7%. The White population is 51.4% of the total and 65.3% were born in the UK. Those born outside the EU make up 30.8% of the Borough. The main religious groups are Christian, 38.6%, and Muslim, 36.4%.

55. Tower Hamlets is wealthy and poor at the same time. Despite having a centre of global finance within its borders, many of its residents remain deprived. Based on the Index of Deprivation, Tower Hamlets is ranked 4 out of 354 local authorities in England in terms of average deprivation. (The lower the number indicates the more deprived.)

56. The challenge of enhancing community cohesion is a major platform of the Tower Hamlets Olympic Legacy Strategy. This is a cross-cutting theme. That is, all the other themes in the strategy – such as Creating and Sharing Prosperity and Experiencing the Games – contribute to community cohesion. The specific programme areas under this theme are health, education, respect, sports participation, and culture.

Health

57. The Games present a unique opportunity to promote healthy living amongst all sections of the community. A central element of the Mayor’s Olympic Delivery Plan for Health in London is the Government’s 2004 Public Health White Paper called Choosing Health. This White Paper sets out the priorities for improving health on a range of themes:

16

Tackling health inequalities; Reducing the number of people who smoke; Tackling obesity; Improving sexual health; Improving mental health and well-being; Reducing harm and encouraging sensible drinking.

58. The National Health Service and the Department of Health have prepared a Project

Plan for the health contribution to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is structured around five elements:

Provision of medical and health services for the Games; Regeneration of North East London and elsewhere; Mitigation of health risks during the Olympic construction phase; The Choosing Health and physical and mental health agenda, through physical

activity; The National Sport and Exercise Medicine Centre, part of the London Olympic

Institute. 59. The well-being and regeneration components of the Health Delivery Plan are based

on capturing measurable improvements to health through skills development, physical activity, improved nutrition and weight reduction. This is also a long term growth area for central government which should support programme enhancement.

60. Health and promoting physical activity are key aspects of existing programmes being conducted in the Borough, such as the weight management programme to minimise child and adolescent obesity and the NRF health trainers’ initiative (part of the NRF Living Well programme – to March 2008). One of the Community Plan’s primary indicators is to increase life expectancy for people living in the Borough and close the gap by 10% between Tower Hamlets and the average for England and Wales. The Borough’s Sport and Physical Activity Service is delivering a wide range of projects to increase physical activity, with NRF funding for a number of initiatives. There has been agreement to join up sports and leisure work in the Healthier Communities Block of the Local Area Agreement.

61. These programmes need to be built and expanded upon with the renewed impetus provided by Choosing Health and the Olympic and Paralympic Games. There are obvious links with the sports legacy programmes. A key task will be identifying new partnerships and building on existing ones. The Borough and the PCT are developing a joint workstream centred on physical activity and health which builds on existing programmes and capitalises on the social marketing opportunities provided by the Games.

62. The workstream will be integrated with the work of the Local Strategic Partnership. The proposed areas of work fit within the Learning Achievement and Leisure and Living Well CPAGs, although there are clear cross-overs with the other CPAGs. An initial meeting with officers of the PCT and the Borough is proposed. It may be advisable to include other organisations as well as LAP members. The purpose of this initial meeting would be to set objectives, scope potential activities and opportunities, and to review facility needs and funding. An issue to be resolved is where in the LSP this workstream resides and whether reporting would be directly to PMG or to CPAGs. Discussion with the LSP is on-going.

63. The workstream will be broad in reach and encompass children and young people, families and adults, people with disabilities, and older persons. It should be culturally

17

competent and sensitive, building on existing programmes, for example, swimming classes for Bangladeshi women. In addition, programmes should be tailored to be accessible to people with a disability. There is a clear opportunity to promote walking in the Borough using the fact that Victoria Park is the venue for the Olympic Walk Race Event.

64. The relationship with Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust is a central one, as are the links with Tower Hamlets PCT’s Health and Well-Being Strategy and Local Delivery Plan. Other important relationships are primary care providers, including GPs, local Sure Start programmes, and local schools. In particular, The Royal London Hospital provides district general hospital services for the City and Tower Hamlets and specialist tertiary care services for patients from across London and beyond. At 6km from the Olympic Village, and with over 1000 beds, it is the closest large general hospital to the main Olympic venues. (The Homerton is 3km from the Village but is a smaller facility). The Homerton has been designated as the front line hospital facility but will be supported by Whipps Cross and the Royal London. The Royal London Hospital is a Level One Trauma Centre and operates a Helicopter Medical Emergency Service from a helipad above the A&E Department. The London will therefore be a critical element in the procedures for emergency services for the Games being developed by the London Emergency Services Liaison Panel. The Royal London will therefore be the main trauma hospital in the event of a major health incident during Games time. There is separately an opportunity here to strengthen the sports medicine sector on the back of the anticipated growth in that sector in the lead up to the Games – and again, there is an important potential role for the Royal London as a leading centre for Sports Medicine education and research in conjunction with Queen Mary College.

Education

65. The Mayor’s Olympic Delivery Plan for Education in London aims to enthuse and inspire children and young people in London to realise their own capabilities, to sharpen their perception of themselves as young Londoners, and to develop their understanding of the world community of nations. Again this is a priority growth area for central government.

66. The government’s PE, School Sport and Club Links (PESSCL) strategy states that PE and sport in schools can improve pupil concentration, commitment and self esteem, leading to higher attendance and better behaviour and attainment.

67. These are significant objectives that should enhance social cohesion in Tower Hamlets. Projects in this Delivery Plan are grouped under the following headings:

School-based initiatives; Extended schools and work in informal and community education settings; Education/employment links; Post school initiatives.

68. Specific curriculum based activities around the Olympics and Paralympics are being

proposed at a national level through DfES. Clearly, these would meet the additionality test. Other aspects of the Delivery Plan relate to existing activities, such as the UK School Games and the London Youth Games (although in these instances, increased participation by schools in the Borough could be targeted). Clearly, there are many opportunities to develop local education programmes and activities over the next 6 years. Some of these are outlined in the Programme. Education and Children’s

18

Services broadly will play a significant role in developing a Tower Hamlets Olympic Legacy Strategy.

Anti-Social Behaviour

69. The Respect Action Plan published by the Home Office in January 2006 highlights the contribution that volunteering activities and participation in sport can make to reducing anti-social behaviour. As part of the Government’s Respect Action Plan, regional sports and arts bodies are being encouraged to ensure that within target areas current funding is more effectively channelled into activities which support Respect principles. In particular, it seeks to expand mentoring projects as an effective way of developing positive role models and is establishing a Sports Champions Mentoring Programme. There are clear opportunities to promote the aims of the Respect Action Plan through the Games, and in doing so make neighbourhoods in Tower Hamlets safer.

70. Together these community well-being aspects of legacy should enhance social cohesion alongside the more directly linked activities associated with experiencing the Olympics, particularly the cultural programme.

Sport

71. The London 2012 Candidature File makes an ambitious claim:

The new facilities in the Olympic Park will be open to the whole community, not just elite athletes. This will lead to more opportunities for everyone to participate in sport and physical activity. This will create a more inclusive, more active community, leading to a fitter society and reducing health inequalities.4

72. Tower Hamlets has few Olympic sports facilities sited in the Borough. Under the

revised Olympic Park Masterplan (June 2006), the only sports facility in Tower Hamlets will be the temporary Basketball Arena located in the south of Fish Island on the site of the Bow Industrial Park. However, a number of the legacy sports facilities will be regional in nature and therefore benefit the residents of Tower Hamlets. These include the Aquatic Centre and Olympic Stadium in Newham, a multi-purpose indoor arena and velopark in Hackney, a tennis and hockey complex in Waltham Forest.

73. However, as the Rapid Health Impact Assessment of the Proposed London Olympics Games and Their Legacy (ERM, November 2004, p.22) found after an extensive literature review, there is currently little research or evidence that attributes increased sports uptake and physical activity to the Olympics or any other major sporting event.

74. A survey commissioned by UK Sport after the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games indicates similar results. People felt more positive but recorded no significant increases in physical activity or sports participation.5

75. Sport England commissioned a nationwide survey, Active People, of participation in physical activity between October 2005 and April 2006. This revealed that Tower

4 London 2012 Candidature File, Volume 1-Theme 1; p.19. 5 MORI 2004, The Sports Development Impact of the Commonwealth Games 2002: Final Report, MORI, London.

19

Hamlets had 21.2% of adults participating in at least 30 minutes moderate intensity sport and active recreation (including recreational walking) on three or more days a week. This result was in the mid-range for London Boroughs, with Greenwich and Newham the lowest (11.9% and 14.2% respectively) and Wandsworth and Richmond the highest (27.3% and 31.6% respectively). Noteworthy is the fact that Tower Hamlets was ahead of many outer London Boroughs that presumably have better access to and provision of open space.

76. The current Tower Hamlets sports strategy, called Seizing the Moment, focuses on improving sports provision in Tower Hamlets and improving the quality of life for the people who live there. The strategy provides a plan for the development of sport in the Borough, which was to guide sports provision over the next 25 years. There are two major themes at the heart of the strategy:

Development of a range of facilities which aim to increase sports participation and achievement, by providing everyone with access to better facilities. The aim is to provide each community area with anchor facilities consisting of a swimming pool and sports hall.

Determination to make these facilities accessible to everyone with equal opportunities for disabled people, for the different cultures of Tower Hamlets and for those on low incomes.

77. The sports legacy programme needs to build on the work already initiated in the

Borough, particularly by the sports development team, and involve each education sector from early years education to further education and higher education. There will be existing valuable knowledge about what works and does not work. Careful consideration needs to be had as to how to tailor any legacy programme to local needs.

78. Fundamental to the sports legacy programme will be developing a range of participatory sports activities and events, from fun runs to sponsored walks to school. Promoting wider participation across East London will be a special theme of the 5 Host Boroughs.

Culture

79. Tower Hamlets has the most extensive arts and culture provision in the Thames Gateway. There are over 90 arts organisations, including 34 galleries and 13 museum/heritage sites. Organisations in Tower Hamlets receive £5.3m p.a. for ACE and £6m p.a. in total including other funding. Tower Hamlets has 36% of all successful Arts Council Grants for the Arts awards in the Thames Gateway and has 32 Arts Council regularly funded organisations.

80. There are also around 45 festivals a year including The Brick Lane Festival (estimated 40,000 attending) and The Baishaki Mela (estimated 80,000 attending). These organisations contribute to delivering the most diverse cultural offer of all boroughs in the Thames Gateway and have strong links with local communities. The sector is largely made up of small and micro businesses, vulnerable to rising rents and land values. It will be important that the sector is afforded a degree of protection through the change ahead and that the organisations are better equipped to maximise the opportunities for change that will come with the Olympics and the spread of activity across the Gateway.

81. Examples of two local organisations with plans to expand their offer are Rich Mix and

20

the Whitechapel Gallery. Rich Mix’s new performance and studio spaces are due to open later in 2006. The Whitechapel Gallery extension will open in 2008 and will transform the gallery from a business with a £2m turnover to £2.9m, an increase of 45%. This will increase footfall by 30% from 199,000 to 239,000 per year.

Cultural Olympiad Programme

82. LOCOG has proposed a four year programme of cultural events. A Tower Hamlets cultural programme needs to reflect the Borough’s diverse communities as well as the broader Olympic themes. These could test the notion of Olympic Live Sites but more importantly maintain momentum and interest in the Games in the four preceding years when typically public interest wanes. In addition, these events would provide a platform for some of the other legacy aspects, notably the health promotion and physical activity programmes.

83. A cultural strategy is in preparation and it has already identified some primary themes upon which a range of initiatives and individual projects are being based.

Increasing the visibility of arts and creative Industries in Tower Hamlets to visitors;

Engaging local people and promoting community cohesion;

Developing further festival programmes; Raising local ambitions through training and skills enhancement;

A new geography post 2012 by spreading the presence of venues.

84. In the time between the first iteration of this strategy (and the lobbying surrounding it) and this version, a significant development has taken place: Victoria Park is now an Olympic sporting venue in its own right. The ODA, in its draft Transport Plan now out to consultation, states its intention that Victoria Park will host the Olympic Walk Race (20km and 50km) Events. It will also now be a centrepiece of the formal Olympic cultural programme and events. The Borough has been highly active in ensuring that the Bid’s commitment that Victoria Park will be the venue for the Party in the Park is honoured. The ODA has also stated that there will be an additional pedestrian and cycle entrance to Olympic Park on the western side via the Greenway from Victoria Park during Games time. This supports Victoria Park being the venue for the Party in the Park. It is now envisaged that there will be an Olympic related event in Victoria Park in the summer of 2007. An annual programme needs to be worked out between the Borough, the 5 Host Boroughs, and LOCOG for the official Cultural Olympiad starting in 2008, with events occurring every year to 2012. The momentum from recent commitments by Olympic organisers needs to be captured by engaging and steering the programme early. There may be a need for preparatory feasibility studies.

85. A significant cultural project that will actively engage older people in the Borough is the Exploring Living Memory Project. This will involve older people exploring the history of the area (Victoria Park, neighbourhoods around the Olympic Boulevard, important events) and recording or representing these with young people.

86. The next step is to develop this strategy and create linkages with the remaining programmes particularly, in sport and community enrichment. The themes which have

21

been identified are rooted in the local situation within Tower Hamlets and are capable of being worked up in early course.

Public Art Programme

87. Barcelona had a significant public art programme in the lead up to the 1992 Olympics.

So did Sydney in 2000. However, these cities had very different approaches to Olympic public art. Though impressive, the Sydney public art programme was deliberately confined to Sydney Olympic Park. The art was commissioned and designed to complement the large scale sports venues and the large piazza. The intention was equally to provide human scale as to showcase artistic talent.

88. Barcelona had a totally different approach. The city commissioned local artists and international artists, including some well-known names. The art works were a mix of temporary installations and permanent works. They were located at city gateways and large public spaces, alongside sports venues, and in other less frequented places. The art was intended to lift the city as a whole and provide a feel that the entire city was celebrating the Olympics.

89. Tower Hamlets requires its own arts and culture strategy as has been envisaged in the previous Chapter. This is currently being developed and will be phased to ensure that the lead up to the Games, the peak participation period and the legacy period are taken into account. The location of works of art could emphasise key Olympic routes or gateways – such as the route of the Marathon or the Torch Relay. It could complement the Olympic Boulevard Project, discussed under Theme 3. Public art would enhance the public realm generally and could be used for a variety of purposes, such as way-finding or sign-posting.

90. Art could also be designed to provide a backdrop to the Live Sites. It should link in with the themes of any local Tower Hamlets cultural festivals. It could encompass community arts projects as well as nationally or internationally commissioned works. An artist-in-residence programme could enable a deeper community involvement in art as has been adopted in the new Royal London Hospital as set out in the s106 public arts strategy.

22

Theme 2 – A Socially Cohesive Community Programme

Linkages


The Socially Cohesive Community Programme supports the following Tower Hamlets Community Plan themes:

A Better Place for Living Safely – reducing crime, making people feel safer and creating a more secure and cleaner environment.

A Better Place for Living Well – improving housing, health and social care and promoting healthy living.

A Better Place for Learning, Achievement and Leisure – raising educational aspirations, expectations and achievement, providing the widest range of arts and leisure opportunities for all and celebrating the rich cultural diversity of our communities.


The Socially Cohesive Community Programme supports the following Tower Hamlets Regeneration Strategy priority:

Develop places which combine a healthy environment with enjoyable open spaces, a well-designed mix of homes and business premises, good-quality services and excellent public transport.


The Socially Cohesive Community Programme supports the following Olympic Board objectives:

2.6 Deliver agreed sustainable legacy plans for the Olympic Park and all venues.

3.2.3 Maximise cultural benefits to Londoners from hosting the Games and the Cultural Olympiad.

current policy favours on-site public art.

25

4 Theme 3 – A Transformed Environment

Concept

91. The Olympics is an excellent opportunity to improve the environment of Tower Hamlets. Such a programme requires careful planning and preparation, together with identification and targeting of appropriate resources. To many outsiders, the most obvious legacy of the Olympic Games is the physical and environmental one. This has been show-cased in Poblenou on the waterfront in Barcelona, where an ailing industrial suburb was transformed into the Olympic Village and Olympic Marina. It is now one of the city’s most thriving districts. Similarly, Homebush Bay in Western Sydney was redeveloped from a series of large scale industrial uses and an armaments depot to a new residential and business suburb of Sydney, together with regenerated wetlands and a major new park.

92. The Lower Lea Valley is now the main focus of the recently scaled-up Thames Gateway regeneration project – reputedly the largest regeneration undertaking in Europe. Thames Gateway London has the potential to deliver 120,000 new homes in the next 10 years. The Olympic deadline has provided a unique opportunity to catalyse development and unblock obstacles. For instance, burying electricity transmission lines was considered too costly before London was awarded the Games, but is now proceeding apace.

93. Work on the Olympics Masterplan commenced in 2003. This initial work outlined a number of scenarios for the Lower Lea Valley – a no-Games scenario, a Games scenario, and a post-Games legacy scenario. The master planning work has been taken forward through the Olympic Park Masterplan. The latest version of this was publicly released in June 2006 and incorporates some major changes in venue locations. Tower Hamlets is hosting a temporary Basketball Arena and security check area; plans to also host a coach park were changed in January 2006.

94. A much more comprehensive planning statement was released for public consultation by the Greater London Authority in May 2006. This is the Lower Lea Valley Opportunity Area Planning Framework, which was produced in consultation with the four Lower Lea Valley boroughs. This is significant in its emphasis on the Lower Lea Valley as ‘one of the largest regeneration projects in Britain’. It may not be the only show in town – but it is certainly the most significant.

95. A wider regeneration problem may exist. This is the ‘red-lining’ that was evident with the LDDC developments, where development within the UDC boundary was of a higher quality than that outside. The LDDC red line also marked the poverty line – this legacy can be seen in Tower Hamlets today. An Olympics red line, whether physical or social, should be avoided at all costs.

96. A number of legacy projects suggest themselves as presenting opportunities to maximise the environmental benefits of the Olympic Games, whilst benefiting current and future generations of Tower Hamlets residents and workers. The areas which are most closely linked with the Olympic Park and where physical regeneration associated with the Olympics can be directly brought into effect are in Fish Island and

26

in Whitechapel Road to Mile End Road. Special effort will be needed to ensure that the environmental improvements to East London are not limited to Olympic Park only.

Place-making and Housing

97. London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games was predicated on the commitment to a successful and sustainable legacy. An important element of that legacy commitment was the delivery of affordable housing in the Olympic Park. The Mayor’s strategic target for affordable housing is set out in the Spatial Development Strategy The London Plan. The Mayor’s target is 50% affordable housing. The Tower Hamlets Local Development Framework adopts this target from new housing in the Borough subject to viability across all sources. The LBTH Housing Study 2004 indicates that when housing benefits are excluded from gross annual household incomes, nearly 64 per cent of all households in the Borough fall below the level threshold of affordability. The need for more affordable housing is growing at such a rate that there is currently an annual shortfall of 3,021 affordable dwellings across the Borough. The provision of affordable housing is crucial for the Borough in providing suitable accommodation for its diverse communities.

98. Approximately 9,000 homes are planned for development in the Olympic Park. In a Joint Statement by the GLA, LDA, the Housing Corporation and the Olympic Delivery Authority, it has been agreed that 50% of housing developed in the Olympic Park will be affordable (subject to standard economic viability tests). It should be noted that the existing planning consent for the private sector Stratford City project requires 30% affordable housing. Under the terms of the Joint Statement, affordable housing developed in the Olympic Park is intended to be a London wide legacy, and therefore nominations to affordable housing will be available on a London wide basis. The London Development Agency with identified partners is arranging meetings of an Olympics Legacy Housing Forum at least three times a year where matters relating to the relocation process and the legacy will be discussed.

99. Previous Host Cities, notably Barcelona and Sydney, have developed distinctive neighbourhoods as part of their regeneration or urban renewal strategies. For instance, Sydney 2000 developed what was claimed at the time to be the world’s largest solar powered suburb with, in addition, 50% water reuse on site. There is a clear opportunity with the London Games to develop new forms of exemplary ‘Millennium Communities’ in and around Olympic Park. These should aim to promote leading edge methods for achieving innovative sustainable mixed tenure mixed-use communities that are well-designed, adopt eco-homes principles, and reduce the carbon footprint. There is now a new proposal in the Olympic Masterplan for a Combined Cooling Heat and Power plant in the north east of the Borough at Kings Yard, which would provide heating and power for the residential neighbourhoods within the Olympic Park. The current proposal is for this plant to utilise biomass, in the form of wood chips, and natural gas. Natural gas emits around 50% less carbon emissions than coal or oil. Biomass should be carbon neutral if the carbon cycle is contained. The Good Quality Combined Heat and Power (GQCHP) standard relates to plants that have a high percentage efficiency of electricity generation and heat use, compared with those where the heat use is low or intermittent. Combined with the proposed wind turbine at Eton Manor in Waltham Forest, these initiatives should result in significant reduction in carbon emissions from the new developments and bring state of the art sustainable technology to the borough and a high profile in this field.

27

100. There are significant opportunities for enhancing the place-making and developing new mixed use neighbourhoods both within the Olympic Masterplan area and in other locations just outside. These locations may provide further opportunities for good urban design, appropriately designed family housing (3 and 4 bedroom units), and new models of delivery and management such as Community Land Trusts. Though there will be significant market pressures towards maximising densities – and ‘Olympic landowners’ such as the LDA itself might see some financial attractions in higher densities – a firm planning approach from all the relevant bodies can moderate these pressures. The aspiration should be for well-designed sustainable communities that integrate well with the existing adjoining neighbourhoods and that make best use of the benefits provided by the Olympic Park for leisure and recreation. The central role of local government in the place-making process should be fully recognised by the Olympic Development Authority and the LDA. The whole issue of housing mix and affordability has been recognised as a critical issue by the ODA. To this end, a genuine partnership process is essential to achieve the vision set out in the Candidature File.

Olympic Park Masterplan Legacy

101. An Olympic Park Legacy Group (OPLG) was established in July 2006. Chaired by the Mayor of London’s Office, this will be a non-decision-making body. The OPLG is soon to discuss the legacy components of the Olympic Park Masterplan arrangements and the future management arrangements for the Park post Games. Particular issues are the legacy uses and configurations of the Stadium and Aquatic Centre. However, the critical task of any future legacy body – managing the parklands – requires careful consideration. The key task is one of place management rather than park management. Effective park management is no simple task in itself; inadequate park management can lead to parks being viewed as problems areas of crime and anti-social behaviour. Place management is even more demanding and necessitates the careful management and maintenance of the ‘edges’ between the public domain and private space, as well as resolution of long-term governance and funding. The area covered by Olympic Park will be a new London neighbourhood not just a new London park. It requires a commensurate response.

102. The Olympic Park Masterplan itself is looking more like the Homebush Bay Masterplan for the Sydney Olympics. The original 2003 Masterplan for the Lower Lea was based on the principle of a ‘flexible Olympics’. That is, the Olympic venues and facilities were to be embedded in a linear urban city fabric in a dense formation. The imperatives of event management, particularly crowd control, security, access and public transport, mean that the current Masterplan appears much more like a traditional Olympics precinct.

103. Membership of the OPLG by the 5 Boroughs will be a critical issue. This has added importance since ODA will be submitting a new planning application in January 2007 to reflect the revised Masterplan. It is not certain that the regeneration commitments made in the conditions attached to the first permission will survive in the new planning permission. Although a public commitment to the benefits included in the original conditions is to be maintained, they may no longer be legally binding planning conditions.

104. A new concept of Legacy Plus has been introduced into the Olympic Park thinking by the ODA. This refers to the long term use and viability of the Park. A planning horizon date of 2025 is cited. The Legacy Plus concept has the potential to complicate legacy commitments and may allow a route for the postponement of some essential legacy

28

components. The Borough needs to be vigilant on this matter and promote a clear Tower Hamlets legacy for the Games.

Lower Lea Valley – Fish Island and Regeneration Bridges

105. Fish Island is viewed in both the emerging Lower Lea Valley Opportunity Planning Framework and the Tower Hamlets Leaside Area Action Plan as having an exciting new future. The agreed approach is to modernise the vision for the mixed use but employment-led regeneration of the area, in an environment which blends into the Olympic Park and the new residential developments within it and links to it by new crossings over the Lea. A critical challenge will be to ensure that the physical legacies of Fish Island and Olympic Park complement each other and that no new ‘red line’ problem arises between development on the east and west sides of the Lea. The continuous review LDF process will enable appropriate development to take place in this important area.

106. Aspirations have emerged through the LDF process for more family friendly development around the Olympic Park that fully benefits from the improved environmental quality and recreational opportunities associated with the new park. There are a range of planning issues surrounding the future of Fish Island and the neighbouring area of Hackney Wick (in LB Hackney). The Local Development Framework and the Opportunity Area Planning Framework envisage Fish Island as a future mixed use area. There will be strong development pressures for this area to become just residential. Residential developers increasingly seek to maximise density and yield. We need to be wary of discussions promoting high densities in this location as they are likely to raise expectations and land values. This will not be in the best interests of creating sustainable and mixed communities, particularly in terms of increasing family housing provision. Increasing funding for the Olympics through maximising land values is not in the best interests of high quality place-making.

107. The Lower Lea Valley OAPF and the Leaside AAP indicate a commitment to deliver a school and a community space as a ‘strategic intervention’. The Lower Lea Valley Opportunity Area Planning Framework indicates the need for increased open space and a series of new vehicular bridges and pedestrian/cycle bridges. An initial meeting has been held with officers from the London Borough of Hackney, at their invitation, with regard to linking the master planning exercises for Hackney Wick and Fish Island in order to create a more integrated neighbourhood with higher value employment uses and a revitalised centre around the Hackney Wick station.

108. The OAPF places great emphasis on the Connected Valley principle – and this is re-affirmed in the Leaside Area Action Plan. This develops the EDAW Masterplan concept of the Bridge of Regeneration. It incorporates a number of measures to increase accessibility via better integration of transport and development, minimisation of physical severance, development of social infrastructure, and both east-west and north-south cycle/pedestrian links, roads and public transport. The provision of a north-south spine road is being discussed as a legacy though this has not yet been confirmed and there must be questions over the cost and deliverability of this project.

109. Physical access is a fundamental legacy issue for the area. Whilst there may be some movement limitation during the Games for security reasons (the ‘Olympic Overlay’), access must not be compromised in the post-Games configuration, lest another barrier be placed to the long term sustainable regeneration of Tower Hamlets. The strategy has several programmes aimed at ensuring that the Olympic agencies fulfil

29

their promises on improved accessibility.

Lower Lea Valley – The Water City

110. In the original EDAW Masterplan (2003), there was the concept of the Water City. This was based on earlier work from a consortium of Barcelona architects (MBM Arquitectes) responsible for designing their Olympic Village, which was termed the Newham Arc of Opportunity. The many waterways criss-crossing the area potentially would add value to the location but needed many bridges and links to make access possible and to ensure one community emerged and not a series of isolated enclaves.

111. There is an obvious need to revive the concept of the Water City and develop a joint initiative with the London Borough of Newham in enhancing north-south links through the Lower Lea Valley to the Thames.

Greening Tower Hamlets 2012

112. Tower Hamlets has one of the lowest rates of open space provision in London. Under the draft Local Development Framework the Council is seeking to protect – and if practicable increase and enhance – the provision of all types of open spaces in the Borough consistent with its inner city character, and most importantly to improve accessibility to, between, and within open spaces.

113. The Draft Open Spaces Strategy made a number of recommendations including using planning obligations more consistently, providing local parks for areas not currently within 5 minutes’ walking distance of open space, and using Section 106 funds more creatively to re-design open spaces to facilitate more intensive use. These are reflected in the current draft Local Development Framework.

114. The LDF uses the concept of ‘green chains’. These are areas of linked but separate open spaces and the footpaths between them. They are accessible to the public and provide way-marked paths and other pedestrian and cycle routes. The Borough is committed to the development of the concept of a green-grid network across the Thames Gateway. Linked to this, the LDF proposes increased playground provision and also more trees and landscaping. These green proposals complement the Blue Ribbon Network. This concept, from the London Plan, includes the River Thames, the docks, the canal network, the other tributaries, rivers and streams.

115. An engaging social marketing concept could be to Plant 2012 Trees. The Borough has around 50,000 trees at the moment but would like to see this number increased. Other ideas are green bridges and gardens on roofs of buildings and car parks. The project should be seen as part of a wider public realm enhancement and should integrate with the Olympic Public Art Programme.

116. Funding should be sought from regeneration partners such as the Millennium Trust, LDA, English Partnerships and Neighbourhood Renewal Fund to complement planning obligations and Section 106 contributions under the LDF.

30

The Olympic Boulevard – the Olympic and Paralympic Marathon Route

117. Whitechapel High Street through to Bow Road is one of the most important ‘streets’ in East London. London’s successful Bid for the Olympics and Paralympics in 2012 means that this route has assumed a new ‘Olympic’ significance as the most direct way to the Olympic Stadium and Olympic Park by road from the City of London. Since the first iteration of this strategy and since Tower Hamlets started lobbying for this concept, the ODA’s draft Transport Plan has adopted the entire route for the final stage of the Olympic and Paralympic Marathons. This is one of the most popular Games events worldwide and will be televised live to audiences around the world. The route will be lined with spectators witnessing the most significant endurance event of the Games.

118. The proposal in the strategy is to transform the route into an Olympic Boulevard and in so doing make this part of the Borough, in effect, an Olympic Site. It will be the route for the Torch Relay as well as part of the Olympic and Paralympic Marathons. It will be the stage for many cultural and artistic events before during and after the 2012 Games.

31

119. We will work with partners to improve the public space along the Olympic Boulevard, in particular to make it a more welcoming environment for pedestrians and cyclists, as we try to encourage people in the borough to adopt these modes of transport. But the Boulevard is not just a public realm initiative: it is a cultural project and economic regeneration project too. The Olympic Boulevard Project will evolve over time as the concept catches the imagination of the community, businesses, and all who want the London 2012 Games to leave a lasting positive legacy in East London.

120. The Boulevard project would incorporate existing projects under the Tower Hamlets Gateway Strategy, such as the Aldgate and Whitechapel Masterplans, but have as its aim the enhancement of the entire length of this major route through the Borough. This would also link with the Olympic Public Art Programme. This project would need to be a joint undertaking with adjoining boroughs and Transport for London. An initial meeting with TfL was positive and indeed all who engage with the concept recognise its attractions.

121. The Olympic Boulevard could provide an opportunity to consider an additional Area Action Framework focussed primarily on environmental improvement, to link the western and eastern parts of the Borough.

122. An intensive design workshop, called a charette, is being proposed for early 2007 to create innovative ideas. This will involve teams of architects and artists as well as members of the community. This event and further planning events will provide a number of opportunities to involve diverse groups in the design of the Boulevard and provide an additional means of promoting and enhancing community cohesion.

123. Currently, a Olympic Boulevard Prospectus is being prepared to promote the concept and to interest prospective partners and funding bodies. This has the potential to be Tower Hamlets’ big Games project – one that has the potential to galvanise the community and become an integral part of the delivery of the Games in East London.

35

5 Theme 4 – Experiencing the Games

Concept

124. Join in the experience of a lifetime!

125. One of the lasting legacies of the Games will be the memories people in Tower Hamlets have of the event itself. One challenge will be to enable everyone to fulfil their dreams of experiencing the event to the full – whether watching sporting events from within the new venues, attending a Live Site, participating in the cultural programme, following the Torch Relay, welcoming visitors, organising a street party, hosting a National Olympic Team, or volunteering. There are many ways to be involved. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games are much more than a TV spectacle.

126. The Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games will mark the start of a four year Olympic and Paralympic cultural celebration in the UK, heralding the London 2012 Games. The Cultural Olympiad for the London 2012 Games will start with the handover segment in the Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Games and end with the Closing Ceremony for the London Games. Embracing all art forms across the UK, the programme for the Olympiad will have four main themes:

Connecting the world; Celebrating youth and diversity; Creating cultural and community legacy; and, Developing sustainable relationships between the arts, education and sport.

127. London has over 200 different ethnic communities who speak a total of 300

languages. This makes London the most culturally diverse city in the world. The Games are an opportunity to celebrate this diversity by developing new creative cultural collaborations and relationships that will last beyond the Games. A major part of the Games legacy will be this unforgettable memory of cultural exchange.

128. Bringing communities closer together. Fundamental to the Tower Hamlets vision for the 2012 Games is building a more socially cohesive community. More than any other aspect of the Olympic Programme and Legacy, this can be achieved through experiencing the event itself. Indeed, this bringing together of nations, communities and peoples is part of the foundation of the Olympic Movement and is expressed in the Olympic Charter and Mission.6

129. The opportunity to foster and build social cohesion and bring the diverse communities in the Borough together presents itself through volunteering, cultural activities, street parties, hosting a National Olympic Team, and almost every aspect of the Games experience. However, for this aspect of legacy to be achieved in full, a conscious effort needs to be made to celebrate the rich cultural diversity of local communities, to strengthening community networks and organisations, and enable the community to develop as a whole in all planned activities. It is especially important that the increased emphasis on security and terror risks surrounding the Games does not

inadvertently raise challenges to community cohesion. This championing of community cohesion needs to be a key role for the 5 Host Borough organisation, with Tower Hamlets at the forefront.

Tower Hamlets as an Olympic and Paralympic Site

130. Initial London 2012 Games operational plans limited the direct impact of the event on Tower Hamlets – the only dedicated Olympic sporting venue in the Borough is the temporary Basketball Arena. Work by the Tower Hamlets Olympic Unit over the past few months has resulted in increasing recognition of Tower Hamlets as an Olympic and Paralympic site – both in terms of sport and cultural events.

131. Victoria Park was identified in the Bid as a ‘focal point for popular celebration of the Games’, along with Hyde Park in Central London. These venues will showcase London’s arts and culture. Events will include pop and classical music concerts, cinema, theatre and the presentation of medal winners. There should be no doubt as to whether the commitment to Victoria Park as a focal point will be honoured. This is an important element for the Games in East London and its retention needs to be strongly lobbied for. There have now been a series of commitments by Games organisers which recognised the important role of Victoria Park in the overall Games plans. David Higgins stated at the launch of the Bridging The Lea event at Three Mills in November that Victoria Park is the ‘natural place for cultural events in the lead-up and during the Games’.

132. The Transport Plan for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games released by the ODA in October 2006 shows a dedicated pedestrian entrance to the Olympic Park from the west via Victoria Park and the Greenway (Figure 7.1). It also shows the route of the Olympic Walk Race (7, 10 & 14 August 2012) taking place in Victoria Park with start and finish in the Olympic Stadium (Figure 8.4). In addition, the Transport Plan confirms the final stages of the Marathon traversing the entire length of the Olympic Boulevard – from Whitechapel High Street to Bow Church and from there finishing in the Stadium. The Marathon is three events – the Women’s Olympic Marathon (Sunday 9 August 2012), the Men’s Olympic Marathon (Sunday 16 August 2012), and the Paralympic Marathon (Saturday September 8 2012). The Men’s Olympic Marathon has historic ties with the Ancient Olympics and is the sporting event that closes the Olympics with the race finishing in the Stadium just before the start of the Closing Ceremony. (Extracts from the Transport Plan are attached).

133. Tower Hamlets role as a key Olympic and Paralympic site is being more and more understood and recognised. There are three key elements to the Tower Hamlets Olympic site concept. These are all interlinked, with each one building on and enhancing the others.

The Tower Hamlets Cultural Olympiad Programme

134. The Games cultural programme marks a unique opportunity for the entire London

Borough of Tower Hamlets to become an Olympic Site – for four years! As described under Theme 2, a four year cultural programme is being developed in Tower Hamlets. This will ensure the Borough becomes an Olympic site. The opportunities are legion – especially to enhance the Olympic Boulevard with a variety of arts programmes that will capture the imagination.

The Torch Relay and Marathon

135. The Torch Relay is a very significant element of the Olympic Games and connects

with the roots of the Ancient Olympics in Greece. The flame commences its journey in ancient Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC, and proceeds on a long route around the world. The event is unique in heralding the Games and garnering enthusiasm throughout the world. This is one aspect of the Olympics that makes it a truly international event.

136. Consistent with the Tower Hamlets Olympic Boulevard concept, the final stages of the Torch Relay will pass through Tower Hamlets on its way to the Opening Ceremony at the Olympic Stadium. As mentioned above, this is a chance to enhance the route with both permanent and temporary public art that reflects the themes of youth and diversity that resonate so strongly with the Borough.

137. As has been described above, the route of the Marathon traverses the entire Olympic Boulevard. The sections prior to athletes entering the Stadium at the finish (the event starts on Tower Bridge) are a free event. There will be many spectators crowding the route along the Olympic Boulevard on the final day of the Olympic Games. This is the perfect link with a Closing Ceremony event and party in Victoria Park.

Live Sites

138. Live Sites are typically locations where people can congregate and imbibe the

Olympic atmosphere while watching the ceremonies or the day’s sporting events on big screens. They were very successfully used in the Sydney 2000 Olympics in six city locations – parks, squares and beside the Harbour. Tower Hamlets has a designated LOCOG Live Site in Victoria Park – an apt choice given the IOC’s internationalism and the park’s iconic significance as the place where Rock Against Racism was launched in the late 1970s. Given this is one of only two for London, the site is likely to attract people from far and wide across North and East London. This is a highly significant event for Tower Hamlets. The Borough should be involved in its organisation and promotion to the fullest extent possible.

139. There may be potential for the Borough to provide smaller scale neighbourhood Live Sites or community street parties. These could be located in local parks or leisure centres. This would be a real opportunity to get to know the neighbours and have a memorable time. It would revive the tradition of street parties in Tower Hamlets. This is a practical example of fostering lasting community bonds and building social cohesion.

41

Hosting the Bangladesh National Olympic Team

140. One of the messages that the London 2012 Bid Team in Singapore gave to the IOC was that everyone in the world who comes to the Olympics in London would find someone from home – someone who would speak their language and share their culture. One of the little publicised opportunities for towns and cities alike in the host country is to host a National Olympic Team.

141. The obvious choice for Tower Hamlets is the Bangladesh National Team. Sports played nationally in Bangladesh include: track and field, swimming, hockey, shooting, volleyball, and of course, cricket (not an Olympic sport). Bangladesh has participated in the 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004 Olympic Games, but has yet to win any medals. For the Athens Olympic Games 2004, the Bangladesh National Olympic Committee sent a 14 member contingent, but it was beset by illness. Out of the four athletes attending, only three athletes competed – in shooting, track and field, and swimming.

142. Hosting the Bangladesh Olympic Team will present a strong demonstration effect. There will be opportunities to connect the local community with the community in Bangladesh. There will be a wealth of human interest stories and plenty of media opportunities. There will be opportunities for coaching and mentoring. There will be cross-over with the Tower Hamlets Olympic cultural programme during the four years preceding 2012.

143. Where other nationalities are strongly represented in Tower Hamlets, for example the Somali community, the Borough should consider hosting these teams too. This will need to be tempered by an understanding of those nations’ political contexts and Olympic history.

Experiencing the Paralympic Games

144. The aim of London 2012 is to deliver accessible and inclusive designs for all facilities, maximise media coverage and strengthen the Paralympic Movement. As with the Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games are the pinnacle of an athlete’s career. London 2012 has committed itself to strive to provide conditions that enable the athletes to compete in an environment of excellence, friendship and enjoyment.

145. The Paralympics is first and foremost an elite sporting event. Other elite sporting events, such as the Commonwealth Games, are now starting to integrate sports for people with a disability into their competition programmes. Many international marathon and long distance running events have been doing this for years. Having said this, all Paralympics promote visibility and awareness, whilst challenging stereotypes. They are a unique experience in themselves – and not to be missed.

146. The Paralympic Games provide the host city with an opportunity to reflect on how user-friendly they are to people with disabilities – and not just people who use wheelchairs. There are different needs for the visually and hearing impaired and those with learning difficulties. London 2012 is committed to the Olympic Village and all of the sports facilities being fully accessible both during and after Games. This commitment is in line with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. All of the public transport facilities serving the Olympic Park will be accessible to wheelchair users. The entire Docklands Light Railway network and all of London's 21,000 licensed black cabs are already accessible to wheelchair users. Every London bus will be accessible by 2008.

42

147. London 2012 have stated that they will adopt a ‘creative approach to ticketing’ that will learn from the successful promotion of Paralympic events at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. Generally, multi-venue day tickets are issued rather than the usual session based tickets. This allows spectators to spend a day seeing a wide variety of sports. Schools, in particular, can benefit from the easier access to tickets and large groups are generally encouraged. The Borough should be able to make provision for those with special educational needs and adults with independent living facilities to benefit from participation.

148. There is a Paralympic Marathon using the same course as the Olympic Marathon. There are additional opportunities to volunteer. For Tower Hamlets, the main opportunities are to ensure the Borough is fully accessible by 2012, promote a Paralympic Schools Programme, and encourage volunteering at the event. Local disability rights/actions groups will be consulted as to how they would best like to engage with the Paralympics and what special issues or opportunities they see.

149. In September 2006, the London Assembly published a report entitled London Olympic and Paralympic Games: A Sporting Legacy for People with Disabilities. This included a number of outline recommendations relating to encouraging boroughs to do more to assist people with disabilities to participate in sport, improving physical education for children with special needs, increased funding for sports clubs engaging in sports provision for people with disabilities, and a dedicated website for sportspeople with disabilities. Tower Hamlets will ensure that it makes the most of the opportunities for local people with disabilities that the Paralympics offers.

Volunteering

150. A chance to say: “I was in it”.

151. Volunteering at the Games is a very rewarding experience. It can enable community building and – in the jargon – the increase of social capital. Individuals can gain new skills and a renewed sense of confidence and pride. It is an opportunity not to be missed.

152. LOCOG estimates that around 70,000 volunteers will be required for the 2012 Olympics. Many of these will also assist at the Paralympics. At previous events, volunteers have been categorised into general volunteers and specialist volunteers, some necessitating technical qualifications. These groupings are:

General volunteers; Sports/field of play volunteers; Olympic Village volunteers; Transport volunteers; Medical/paramedical volunteers; Translator and interpreter volunteers.

153. The first two categories form the majority of the volunteering body – 70% to 80%. The

last three categories require specialist skills and will be screened for suitability and eligibility. For any volunteer programme to be successful, a full training programme in the nature of the event, organisational expectations, and the particular tasks to be carried out is essential. There are usually incentive or reward programmes organised by Olympic sponsors.

154. In Tower Hamlets, sports volunteering is less impressive than direct participation in

43

sports or physical activity. The Sport England Active People survey revealed that only 2.3% of adults (16+) in Tower Hamlets volunteer in sport and active recreation for at least one hour a week. This is the fifth lowest in London.

155. Volunteering represents a golden opportunity for Tower Hamlets residents, but particularly young people and older people, providing a unique bridge between these two groups. A volunteering skills programme has already been listed under the employment and prosperity programme, providing a unique chance for young people not in employment, education, or training to gain new skills in customer service or hospitality. A specific Senior Citizens’ Volunteering Programme will be developed to further the opportunities for older people to share their experiences and act as local champions for the Games. Tower Hamlets should promote awareness of the London 2012 volunteering programme through its own channels and ensure this information gets to hard-to-each groups and ethnic minority groups in the Borough.

156. The London 2012 publicity cannot be relied upon to trickle down to Borough residents. There are many avenues to promote volunteering, for instance through schools, leisure centres and gyms, and local sports clubs. The Borough will have its own requirements for volunteers for events being staged in Tower Hamlets. The Borough should consider establishing its own volunteering programme to ensure all those who wish to can participate in this way. A ‘civic pride’ volunteering programme could be established almost at once to give people additional opportunities to get involved. Participation in the civic pride programme should be considered by London 2012 as a positive criterion when selecting volunteers for the Games.

Ticketing

157. A chance to say: “I saw it”.

158. For many people, having the Olympics in your home town is all about having the chance to see an Olympic event at first hand – in the Olympic Stadium or poolside in the Aquatic Centre. A major concern for all residents in Tower Hamlets is access to attendance at the 2012 Olympics. Previous Olympics have demonstrated that attendance to events is limited by the availability and price of tickets, particularly for popular events. Access to attendance is particularly problematic for disadvantaged groups in the community. The issue of ‘all pain no gain’ is particularly pertinent to the issue of ticket availability.

159. The major factor influencing ticket availability at previous Olympics is not the proportion of tickets available locally but the total ticket pool. This has varied from barely 4 million tickets at Barcelona in 1992 to close to 10 million in Atlanta in 1996. The Sydney Olympics had about 8.5 million tickets available. Of these, around 7.4 million tickets were for sale with the balance of the ticket pool taken up by allocations to the Olympic Family, sponsors, media and National Olympic Committees.

160. Around 4.5 million tickets were available for sale to the Australian public. If Australian sponsors, stadium passes and the Olympic Club are factored in, the Australian ticket allocation was closer to 6 million, representing about 70% of the ticket pool. However, no recent Olympics have seen a sell-out of all tickets.7 Sydney 2000 developed an Olympic Opportunity Programme to more fairly distribute tickets to schools and

7 The Sydney Olympics ticketing procedures were highly controversial – so much so that the New South Wales Legislative Council, the Upper House in the NSW Parliament, established a Select Committee in October 1999 to review the ticketing process.

disadvantaged groups.

161. No official 2012 Ticketing Policy has been released to date. In a press statement in February 2005, London 2012 stated that there would be 8 million tickets available and that they expected to sell 6.5 million of them. Tickets prices would start at £15 with 1.5 million available at this price. The average ticket price would be £40. It has not been revealed how tickets will be distributed as the most popular sessions are always vastly over-subscribed. Sydney 2000 used a lottery or ballot system for selecting who to allocate tickets to. A particular issue is to avoid cascading ballot systems for over-subscribed events as these favour customers selecting higher priced seating.

162. There are two major issues with ticket allocation: (i) ensuring fair distribution amongst the general population, and (ii) ensuring disadvantaged groups have access to opportunities to see the Games. Options to increase general access in relation to ticket prices include varying price categories for popular events and operating a half-price ticket system for under-subscribed events, which could become available on the day of the event. Surprisingly, many allocated tickets are unused. This is particularly the case for sponsor allocations and those to National Olympic Committees. A well-organised return system could mean that these tickets could be reallocated and not wasted. Thorough auditing and monitoring systems need to be in place.

163. LOCOG should be encouraged by the 5 Boroughs to adopt an access and equity policy for ticketing as part of the overall commitment to an inclusive diverse Games. This should not be delayed. The primary reason for disadvantaged groups not attending Olympic Games is affordability, though there are issues for people with a disability or special needs. The main measures to increase access are:

Free events; A quota of concession tickets for all sessions; Targeted group discounts for nominated groups; Patron programmes.

164. Free sport events are generally those that are difficult to ticket. These are the

Triathlon, Walk Race (Victoria Park), the Marathon (final stage along the Olympic Boulevard), and the Cycling Road Race. This amounts to 8 events as women’s and men’s events are held at different times. The concession ticket system could potentially be funded through a levy on full priced tickets which could range from 50 pence on cheaper seats to £10 on more expensive seats. Targeted group discounts could be for groups such as school children, as with the Sydney Olympic Opportunity Programme. Group discounts could be limited to under-subscribed events. This option would maximise attendance and provide revenue for seats that would otherwise be unsold.

165. As has been mentioned, the Paralympics generally use a day pass system. Tickets are around the low end of the Olympic price range. This is an ideal opportunity for group discount schemes. Patron programmes are designed for hard-to-reach groups or those not able to access the Games by any other means. Patrons could be sought from individuals, clubs, sporting associations, community organisations, Games sponsors, or non-sponsor corporate bodies. Such a programme would need to be administered by LOCOG. Finally Olympic test events and rehearsals provide another way to promote access. For instance, all volunteers at the Sydney Olympics were invited to the full dress rehearsal of the Olympic Opening Ceremony which occurred a few days prior to the actual event.

6 Delivering the Programme

Dimensions to Effective Delivery

166. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games requires a special response from Council. It is essential that the response addresses all the dimensions of the task – from high level political lobbying to external relations to programme delivery – and is the most effective and efficient use of resources. The key aspects of delivery are:

A key Olympic and Paralympic Games Champion for the Borough is required at a senior political level – in all the 5 Host Boroughs it will be the Leader or directly elected Mayor;

An LSP Olympic and Paralympic Games Champion; An Olympic and Paralympic Games Champion at officer level in each Directorate; A fit-for-purpose Olympic and Paralympic Games Unit; and The mainstreaming of the Tower Hamlets Olympic Strategy and Programme by

Directorates and the member organisations of the LSP. 167. A group of Olympic and Paralympic Games Champions in each Directorate of the

Council has been in established as of October 2006. The Tower Hamlets Olympic Champions Group met for the first time on 20 October 2006. The Olympic Champions Group will meet regularly to develop the legacy programme. There is a need for a similar approach in each theme partnership of the LSP. The introduction of these champions will reflect the Borough wide priority being given to this programme and embed the Games legacy programme within the Borough.

Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Delivery Unit – TH2012

168. De facto, the Borough has begun to create a delivery unit. It currently has an Interim Head of Service and a PA, with other support coming from consultants and temporary officers. The proposal is to formalise the unit as TH2012 by the beginning of 2007/08 with the appointment of full-time permanent staff (backed up with consultancy contracts).

169. The current agreed budget of the unit is some £400,000 per annum, of which £100,000 goes to support the 5 Host Borough structure. That scale of funding allows for a small highly skilled team whose main functions are advocacy, lobbying, strategic development and coordination, with, however, a significant role being played by Directorates. The unit will also liaise with the LSP in shaping and delivering appropriate Olympic and Paralympic programmes. Other boroughs with more direct physical presence of the Games have bigger units in mind and some are using NRF funding for this purpose. The proposal here is to develop the smaller unit backed up by significant contributions from the corporate core, the Directorates and the LSP. The key principle is that existing programmes be bent to enhance the ‘Games effect’ with additional resources being identified over time as our understanding of what is required further develops. The ancillary proposal is to review the effectiveness of this by the summer of 2007.

48

170. It is proposed that under the current budgetary commitment of Council that the following positions be advertised on a permanent basis in January 2007:

A Head of Service for the Olympic and Paralympic Games with primary responsibility for influencing, lobbying, community engagement, advocacy and the further creative development of the legacy programmes;

A Programme Manager with primary responsibility for co-ordinating the delivery of the legacy programme within the Borough and liaising with the Local Strategic Partnership;

A Project Development Officer to assist innovating the legacy programme. An Administrative Support Officer.

In this model, communications and community consultation services will be provided to the unit by the corporate core, supplemented where required by external communications and public affairs consultants from the unit’s own budget. We will now work with Human Resources to progress job descriptions and advertisements for these posts in readiness for the end of the year.

171. Given the current changing nature of the legacy task, the review needs to bear in mind that the unit must be fit-for-purpose and staffed accordingly. The unit needs sufficient capacity both to lead on the local programmes and engage effectively externally with the Mayoral-GLA Olympic and Paralympic Games Programme Objectives, the ODA, LOCOG, the 5 Host Borough organisation, and Government more widely. There will be a growing necessity to engage with the private sector to fulfil the range of expectations contained in this strategy. Whether or not the review by the summer of 2007 leads to a request for increased funding, the unit should seek various forms of Challenge Funding to support its core activities.

Next Steps and Lobbying Strategy

172. Much was learnt by the Borough from the recent high level delegation to Beijing to see at first hand the preparations by Beijing 2008 for the next Olympic and Paralympic Games – particularly in the areas of volunteering and regeneration legacy. These links will be maintained and further developed so we learn as much as possible from the experiences of the current Host City.

173. Tower Hamlets Community Plan. There is a growing consensus within the Tower Hamlets Partnership that the Olympic and Paralympic Games are a good reason to initiate a full review of the Community Plan. This could take the Community Plan to 2020 and include the Games legacy. In particular, the renewed focus on community cohesion would be valuable to incorporate into the Community Plan. This would necessitate a major consultation exercise similar in scope to the one conducted at the start of the Community Plan process in 2000-2001. A separate strategy and work programme needs to be developed for this in conjunction with the Partnership Management Group. It is likely that this process would take until July 2007 to be completed.

174. Olympic and Paralympic Lobbying Strategy. It has been evident over the past 6 months that a more proactive and necessarily political approach needs to be taken to legacy. The pressures of cost, constructing necessary infrastructure, and staging the Games themselves mean that legacy benefits will be squeezed. A comprehensive lobbying strategy needs to be devised to address these concerns. Some particular pressing issues are:

49

Above all, that the importance of the Borough and boroughs in delivering the objectives of the Games and benefits for local people be fully recognised;

The London 2012 commitment to the use of Victoria Park as a Live Site; The Olympic Masterplan and the ODA planning applications; The need for all Olympic agencies to prioritise the regeneration pledges contained

in Bid; The early need for LOCOG to present for consultation amongst the 5 Boroughs its

volunteering policy and master volunteering schedule; The need for LOCOG to develop an access and equity policy for Olympic and

Paralympic tickets; The impact of increased security measures on the nature of the event itself and

the cost of delivery; External funding sources – public sector, foundation/charitable, private sector; Promoting the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility and the opportunity

the Games provides to further this; The importance of delivering a Games that enhances community cohesion and

promotes diversity. 175. Games Communications Strategy and Protocol. There is a need to disseminate the

Olympic and Paralympic Games Strategy and Programme as widely as possible. A communications strategy and protocol should be developed in order to conduct this in the most effective manner possible.

50

Strategic Actions to Delivery the Programme

Strategic Actions Securing strategic linkages

75. Maintain a well resourced TH2012 Unit with both a clear strategic remit and a
