The deadline has been extended for businesses to apply for permission to trade or advertise near London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic venues. Traders who require authorisation must apply by the end of March for permission to operate at 27 ‘Event Zones’. These usually stretch no more than 200 metres from stadias and sports facilities. The deadline for advertisers who need approval to advertise in these areas has also been extended to 31 March 2012.
With now less than six months to go until the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games, businesses are being urged to ensure they have got their paperwork in order and got permission, where it is required. The Regulations, which can be found on London 2012’s website www.london2012.com/advertisingandtrading will ensure that spectators and those taking part in the Games can access venues easily and safely and that the Games have a consistent look, without unauthorised marketing close to venues.
