On February 16 2009 we launched the new http://www.capitalambition.gov.uk website. This London Connects site will remain up for a while, but will no longer be updated or active. All the important information about current projects and upcoming events will be moved over. Please head to http://www.capitalambition.gov.uk now to see our new site.
