Local firms can contact the service, which has been set up by the London Development Agency, to find out how preparations for the Games may affect them.
The ‘masterplanning’ team has earmarked the northern part of the Lower Lea Valley as the focus for the Olympic zone where the key venues would be located - although precise details are still being finalised.
Specialist advisors will be on hand to answer any questions businesses may have about the land required, possible relocation options, time scales involved or any other aspect of the redevelopment of the Lower Lea Valley, which will be transformed over the next twenty years whether or not London hosts the 2012 Olympic Games.
If London wins the competition to host the 2012 Olympic Games, an Olympic Village big enough to host 16,000 athletes will be built, together with an 80,000-seat Olympic stadium, a broadcast and media centre and a range of other facilities. The facilities will have substantial legacy benefits for the Lower Lea Valley, which is one of the most deprived areas in the UK.
