The Olympic promises:

1. Make the UK a world-leading sporting nation

2. Transform the Heart of East London

3. Inspire a generation of young people

4. Make the Olympic park a blueprint for sustainable living

5. Demonstrate the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live in, visit and for business

6. Transform the life experience of disabled people

And the PM has promised to:

“make sure the Olympics legacy lifts East London from being one of the poorest parts of the country to one that shares fully in the capital’s growth and prosperity” (28 May 2010)
