Great co-operation from people at AEG for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Millenium_Dome\">The O2<\/a> visit, Murphys and LDA people at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.culture.gov.uk\/global\/press_notices\/archive_2006\/oda_powerlines_release.htm\">Power Tunnels<\/a> site, Newham people at <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/england\/london\/4923278.stm\">Holden Point<\/a> and LCR people at the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CTRL\">Stratford CTRL site<\/a>. So thanks to all of them! The great thing about the London 2012 project is the team spirit it engenders.
