Plans for the use of the Olympic Park venue after the 2012 Games are “still unclear”, a London Assembly report says.
The Olympic Park’s ‘Inclusive Design Strategy’ was recognised for the ‘Award for Equality and Diversity’ by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) at an awards ceremony last week.
London 2012 today welcomed a special visitor to east London, as Archbishop Desmond Tutu was given a tour of the Olympic Park site and expressed his belief that the London 2012 Games will inspire people across the world.
The Olympic Park will be a “stunning green oasis” to be proud of after the 2012 Games, Tessa Jowell has insisted.

These open spaces will provide a colourful and festival atmosphere during the Games and will become the largest new urban park in the UK for more than 100 years.
The new pumping station building in the south of the Park will collect, convey and discharge waste water from the main venues and buildings on the Park during the Games and after 2012 from the venues and residential developments.
A total of 9,164 people were working on the Olympic Park and Olympic Village (as of December 2009), 2,887 of whom were working on the Village site.
The underpass has been constructed in the north-east corner of the Park and forms part of the Olympic Park Loop Road – a new route that will provide access around the Park during and after the Games.
Skanska has been appointed to transform the area, which most people will use to enter the Park.
