South West England celebrates the start of the Cultural Olympiad
The weekend of 26-28 September 2008 saw the South West celebrate the start of the four year Cultural Olympiad. There were plenty of opportunities for people to visit great places and spaces and to get involved in new and imaginative thought-provoking, creative activities. As Guy Lavender, South West England Director for the 2012 Games said: "The London 2012 Games are not just about sport - they celebrate people, cultures and languages. We have just celebrated the handovers from Beijing to London of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games and now we are joining in this weekend with over 40 events across South West England. This will truly show our compelling and diverse culture and will be a great start for the next four years. " The Open weekend included art exhibitions in Salisbury, Lyme Regis and Trowbridge, dance acts in Swindon, Plymouth and St Ives as well as music performances in Weymouth, Bristol and Bath. Full details can be found on the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad pages.
RDA to invest £6.6m in Weymouth seafront
The multi-million pound regeneration of Weymouth seafront has been given the go-ahead following a decision by the South West RDA to invest £6.6 million in the project. The Esplanade Regeneration Project, which is being led by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, will transform the seafront in time for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games when the eyes of the world will be on Weymouth and Portland. The RDA's investment is being seen as a massive boost in confidence for the town and will leave a lasting legacy for residents, businesses and visitors long after 2012. With funding now secured the procurement process will begin immediately and construction is expected to start in the spring of next year with the aim of it being completed before 2012. The South West RDA has also just agreed to increase its budget by £5.75 million at Osprey Quay on Portland. The Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy was opened in 2005 and the Olympic Delivery Authority is currently investing £7 million in extensions to the boat park, slipways and pontoons for 2012.
