Do try and get to this Tent in Crystal Palace Park
between today & 26th September. It is open 10am to 6pm and is a vital
opportunity to see some future options for the redevelopment of both the park
and the National Sports Centre. Not only that - but it is an opportunity to
comment and make further suggestions.
This is organised by Ken Livingstone's London
Development Agency (LDA).
The LDA is to take on responsibility for the sports
centre in 2006 and, possibly, for the park as a whole by 2009. The sports
centre is the home of many London and national sports bodies, but within five
to eight years will need major works to maintain standards. The park —
which was once home to the FA Cup Final and the world-famous Crystal Palace and
still boasts a 150-year-old dinosaur park also needs considerable work to
fulfil its potential.
This consultation is an opportunity to shape the work
ahead to create first class sports facilities and make the once-iconic park
truly great again. This will help drive the regeneration of surrounding areas,
boosting local businesses, bringing in jobs and creating an excellent learning
resource for local schools.
If you can't get to the Tent in the Park - then you can
see some of the work and comment at the LDA site <here> |
