Free London 2012 transport advice for hospitality businesses
A widespread support package to help hotels, restaurants, pubs and their suppliers continue to operate effectively during the London 2012 Games has been announced by Transport for London.
At the centre of the package, known as TfL’s Freight Advice Programme, are 230 free workshops aimed at businesses in Games transport ‘hotspot’ areas which receive freight deliveries.
Deliveries and collections make up 17 per cent of all traffic in London, rising to 25 per cent in central London, with 281,000 freight journeys made in the capital between Monday and Friday each week.
The free workshops, which are available to businesses from across all sectors and will help them to plan and prepare, start on 30 January and run until the end of April. Around 160 sessions will be held in London and 70 will be held outside the capital. Hospitality businesses are urged to attend their relevant session by sending an email (see the following details).
