Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, today announced the appointment of a Legacy Board of Advisors to assist him in securing the best possible future for the Olympic Park after the 2012 Games. The Board will be chaired by David Ross, Deputy Chairman of The Carphone Warehouse, who was the Mayor’s nominee to the Board of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG). The new Board will advise the Mayor on all aspects of the legacy programme for London. It will, in particular, focus on the emerging proposals for physical development and regeneration in and around the Olympic Park after the Games and the business plan for the Olympic Park and legacy venues. It will advise the Mayor on how to maximise the regeneration benefits for existing and new communities in East London while ensuring an appropriate return on the public investment in the Park. It will also focus on high standards of management and maintenance of the Park and venues while delivering viability, affordability and the best possible use of the venues by Londoners and by elite athletes.
