Croydon launches London 2012 Olympic forum

The Outer London Borough Forum for the Olympic & Paralympic Games will be officially launched at the Town Hall on Wednesday 24 October in the Council Chambers.

The forum will meet on a regular basis.

Cllr Steve Hollands, cabinet member for culture and sport, said: "It is important that as a borough we are able to make the most this once in a lifetime opportunity and provide a lasting legacy for Croydon.

"Through joint working we will be able to explore how our residents, businesses, organisations and communities can benefit as well as helping to make the most successful games ever."

Speakers at the event will include council leader Mike Fisher and Steve Halsey, the director of environment, culture & public protection, who will introduce Croydon's vision for the Games.
