3 storey building on marshes parkland

...is proposed to be erected
on Leyton Marsh
by "London 2012"
right behind the ice rink.

The huge 11 metre high (3 storey) structure would be surrounded by an even bigger area of tarmac, with new access road, described as being "temporary".

Q: is the money to return the site to natural marshland in place and secure NOW?

The east marsh already has a big "temporary" tarmac car park for disabled parking planned.

Q: will the "change of use" for the land be time limited?

Planning Application Number 2011/156

on Monday 16th January 2012 to plan what further steps can be taken to oppose the proposed development - all are invited - 6.00 pm on ward - if you can come at 7 or even later it is likely that people will still be there.
