BRENT IN 'RUNNING' FOR OLYMPIC TORCH ROUTE - TEATHER
October 10, 2005 7:53 PM
Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather has today received a letter from Sebastian Coe, Chairman of the London 2012 Olympic team confirming that Brent is in the 'running' to have the Olympic Torch pass through the Borough.
The Brent East MP wrote to both Lord Coe and Jacques Rogge, President of IOC after London had been awarded the 2012 Olympics asking whether the Olympic Torch could pass through Brent.
Lord Coe's letter states that whilst no decision has yet been made on the final Olympic Torch route, the organizers will certainly bear Brent in mind when the final decision is made.
Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather said:
"I feel it is only right and proper that the Olympic Torch comes through Brent in 2012. As one of London's most ethnically diverse borough's, Brent is a true celebration of London's multi-culturalism.
"With Brent also having the new Wembley Stadium up and running by 2012, we will once again be a centre of sporting legend."
