This document discusses the redevelopment of the East Village neighborhood in London that was formerly the site of the Athletes Village for the 2012 Olympics. It summarizes that the 27 hectare site is being transformed into a new neighborhood with over 8,000 new homes by 2030, with the first phase including 2,818 homes, both market rate and affordable. It notes that the redevelopment was a public-private partnership between the government and private developers, with the public sector contributing infrastructure and the private sector undertaking the development.
The document outlines a marketing campaign to promote the electric vehicle Mia through a roadshow targeting urban areas in France and the United States.

A total of £42m in funding will go towards over 100km of new cycle routes across Greater Manchester. This includes £22m recently confirmed by the government, adding to the existing £20m Cycle City programme pot. The initial £20m is funding seven major cycle paths totaling 60km, including a proposed route in Rusholme along Wilmslow Road that would have segregated cycle lanes behind parking bays. The additional funding will expand existing plans to improve cycling infrastructure and promote active transportation around Manchester Airport, Prestwich, Cheetham Hill, Salford, Stockport and along canals.

There is significant demand for new employment space on Anglesey due to major inward investment projects and Brexit uncertainties generating demand from logistics companies. However, the existing supply of employment space is severely constrained. The AEZ Board has identified several key sites around the A55 highway that could be developed to address this shortage, including sites at Parc Cybi in Holyhead and Parc Bryn Cefni in Llangefni. Financial support is available for qualifying development projects on Anglesey given its designation as a Tier 1 assisted area eligible for maximum ERDF and other grants.

Developing your tourist project in Oise (Hauts-de-France- France)
Thanet District Council begins procurement process to find operator to run heritage amusement park in Margate on 35-year contract
1. Thanet District Council begins procurement process to find
operator to run heritage amusement park in Margate on 35-
year contract
The process to find a company to run Dreamland has begun, it was revealed today.
Thanet District Council announced it has started the search for a firm to take on a 35-year contract
to run the heritage amusement park in Margate.
The procurement process is looking for an operator to run the service concession and lease for the
operation of the park.Â
Dreamland amusement park on Margate seafront
The council bought the site - which closed in 2006 - using a compulsory purchase order last year,
after winning a lenghty legal battle with its former owners.
Cllr Iris Johnston, leader of the council and cabinet member for tourism, said: "I'm delighted plans
for the site are progressing as scheduled to develop this exciting new amusement park.
"With a rich history and a bright future Dreamland is a fantastic prospect with the potential to bring
a massive boost to Tourism in the district and add to Thanet's attractiveness as a leisure, holiday and
retail destination for visitors.
"I'd urge residents and visitors who can't wait, to get a taste of the past, present and future of the
site at the free Dreamland Expo at the new Visitor and Learning Arcade."
Thanet Council new Labour leader Cllr Iris Johnston
Dreamland has been preserved and part refurbished with the support of grant funding from the UK
Department of Communities and Local Government SEA Change Fund.
The funding was awarded due to the site's historic status and unique heritage assets, such as the art
deco cinema and historic scenic railway.
The site has also received funding from the UK's National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Dreamland
Trust.
The contract will be advertised on the council's website, the South East Business Portal,
www.mytenders.org, various trade magazines and the Official Journal of the European Union.
