This year sees what is promised as going to be the best Olympics ever, the 2012 London Olympics. Companies that are based close to the centres where the Olympics are being held, such as the Olympic Village in Stratford, East London, are being warned that traffic will be heavily disrupted and that traffic jams could be the norm for the duration of the Olympics.
Olympics minister Hugh Robertson recently stressed that the transport network in London has benefited from “significant investment” to guarantee it has the capacity to cope with the influx of visitors next summer. However, he urged businesses to be creative with their own travel plans in order to keep everything operating smoothly when the competition is underway.
Businesses who have to have deliveries are being urged to change their delivery times from during the day to during the night. Companies in London have been running trials on taking deliveries during the small hours without upsetting people who live around their stores. This has been successful and no-one has complained. Combine this with a start-of-the-art telematics device and driver training and the Olympics can be the success it deserves.
