Our Feedback

In this section we offer our feedback to you about what we’ve heard and learnt from the recent consultation events and activities which have taken place.

Local and Topic Workshops

In autumn 2008, we held a series of 11 workshops to share the emerging ideas and proposals with community organisations, representatives, special interest groups and local residents. These workshops gave a great opportunity for the community and stakeholders to find out more about the LMF process and to contribute their ideas and concerns as we worked towards developing a preferred option. Reports summarising the detail discussed at each of the workshops are available below as well as the presentation given at each of the workshops:

• Local workshop report - autumn 2008

• Topic workshop report - autumn 2008

• Output B - Possibility & Flexibility: A Framework for Development

Thank you to everyone who participated and provided input into the design plans. We are running similar local and drop-in sessions in February 2009. Please visit the activities & events page for details.

Summer 2008 Legacy Masterplanning Roadshow Results

Between 21 June and 20 August 2008, almost 3,000 people took part in the LDA's Legacy Now roadshow. The roadshow included 10 consultation events and smaller scale visits to over 20 community events. It represented the first phase of public consultation on the spatial Legacy planning for after the 2012 Games. Throughout all our consultation and engagement activity we aim to ensure trust, empower the public and demonstrate accountability.

The 'hands-on' consultation saw people build their own 'mini city' by physically placing housing, parkland, shops and other features on a large scale map of the Olympic Park.

Other innovative activities included an interactive panel to prioritise the importance of features and services, a director's chair where their thoughts and aspirations were recorded and 'postcards from the future' to capture thoughts on what the area should become. Young children also got involved by taking part in making models of 2020 homes.

Below is both a summary of the consultation results and the full consultation report:
