plans, as much as possible, in linewith the points raised by localresidents.

You said

The area really needs goodquality family housing houses with your own entranceand garden, instead of allthese flats. But it has to beaffordable!

We haveAdjusted our plans to increase theocus on quality amily housing,reducing the amount o one and twobed fats. The new plans now showsignificantly more housing made upo terraces, mews and squares, withtheir own ront doors and gardens.

With the right mix o apartments andhouses, located close to the acilitiescommunities need to developand grow, the Park will have theoundations to become a thriving,vibrant new piece o city.

We are

Seeking a long-term tenant or theStadium ater the Games. A decisionon this is expected in Spring 2011.

Our intention or the Stadium is tomaximise value or money and serveboth the needs o elite sport andthe local communities. Eton Manorand the Velopark will be owned,managed and operated by the Lee

Valley Regional Park Authority. TheMulti-use Arena and the AquaticsCentre will be owned by the LegacyCompany and operated through amanagement company. We intendto have operators in place or allthe venues by 2012, making Londonthe first host city to achieve this. Allo these venues will have a strongemphasis on community usage and

access. For example, the AquaticsCentre will be used by schools, localclubs and amily un swims.

It is difficult to get good jobsin this area. What we reallyneed from the legacy of theGames is real, long term jobs.

more Jobs,better Jobs

We saidWe know that real jobs andopportunities to build careersacross a range o business sectorsis what will leave a lasting successrom the Games. The Park and itskey employment hubs will start toaddress this need by providing upto 8000 new jobs. Ater the Games,

the Park could provide space andvenues or a variety o businessesand industries, including:

creative, arts and media education and training retail and leisure sport and recreation conservation and environment professional and business

services hospitality and tourism light industry

You said

The Park must be easy forlocal people to use andget to. The area cant be abarrier again.

betterLocaL LInks

We believeLinks with existing communities arereally important. Bridges and clearroutes into the Park or those wholive in the communities nearby are akey part o our plans. Ultimately, wehope the legacy plans will help to re-connect the Park with its surroundingareas, and help stitch communitiesback together again.
