The London 2012 Organising Committee met with members of societies in Greenwich to discuss plans for Greenwich Park, the venue for Equestrian events during the 2012 Games.
Friends of Greenwich Park, the Westcombe Society, the Blackheath Society, the Greenwich Society, Greenwich Council, the Royal Parks and Nick Raynsford MP attended the meeting. They heard an update about the current feasibility work being carried out and thinking behind the designs. As plans are still being finalised, LOCOG gave assurances that consultations would continue in the next few months and give interested groups the chance to feed back.
LOCOG also reiterated the commitment to return the park to the same state it receives after the Games; and to close as little of the park as possible at any one time.
A sports Competition Manger has been appointed for the event who is an expert in the equestrian world.
