Paddick on the campaign trail at St Mary's, Twickenham

January 17, 2012 6:25 PM

paddick• [Jan 17] Rachel Bishop writes: THE Liberal Democrat candidate for London Mayor has claimed incumbent Boris Johnson is not doing enough to inspire Londoners to get active and exploit the Olympics legacy . .

Mr Paddick said: "Legacy is such an important issue, which previous Olympic cities have failed to capitalise on, and sadly it seems Boris Johnson will be adding London to that list. In 2009, the Mayor pledged to spend £15.5m on his Sport Legacy Fund to inspire Londoners to get active, but figures showed there had been no significant shift in sports participation in London since 2007. Only 16 % of Londoners participated in three 30 minute sports activities per week. It is essential that all the Olympic-related benefits that were promised continue to be delivered after the closing ceremony."
