Meeting: 07/03/2012 - King George's Field Charity Board (Item 6)
To consider a report on the proposed use of Mile End Stadium as a Games Time Training Venue by the United States of America Olympic Committee.
Minutes:
Michael Rowan, Director of Mile End Park presented the paper which proposes the use of Mile End Stadium as a Games Time Training Venue by the United States of America Olympic Committee (USOC).
During discussions a member raised concern over the possibility of heightened security in the area and the possible disruption to local people. In response the Head of Legal Services (Environment), stated that there will undoubtedly be rigorous security in the stadium, but the leisure centre will remain open to the public.
The Mayor commented that the whole of London will experience heighten security with Mile End being no exception, however efforts will be made to ensure that local lives are not unreasonably disrupted.
RESOLVED
1. That King George’s Fields Charity Board confirm its support for the USOC to have exclusive use of Mile End Stadium as a Games Time Training Venue from the 16th July - 15th August 2012 and to authorise signing of the agreement.
