The Leicestershire Strategy for the 2012 Games was launched on Wednesday 24 September at the 3rd Annual PE and School Sport Conference at Loughborough University.
The Strategy aims to create a lasting legacy for the whole of Leicestershire arising from London’s success in being chosen to host the 2012 Games. It sets out the co-ordinated action needed across the City and County to help businesses win contracts and sub-contracts associated with the 2012 Games, attract visitors to the area, inspire people to lead more healthy and active lifestyles and help develop local sporting talent.
The Leicestershire Steering Group for the 2012 Games has produced the Strategy following a successful public consultation exercise in the summer.
Kishor Tailor, Chief Executive of the Leicestershire Economic Partnership, who chairs the Steering Group, said:

"We believe the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London will inspire people, communities, businesses and other organisations in Leicestershire to be the best they can.
This Strategy aims to create a lasting legacy for the City of Leicester and County of Leicestershire arising from London hosting the 2012 Games. It also seeks to build on the enthusiasm and inspiration generated by the recent success of Team Great Britain at the Beijing 2008 Games.
I would like to thank all those that contributed to the consultation process and look forward to the successful implementation of the Strategy."
An action plan for each of the seven themes within the Strategy will be produced in November.
