CRYSTAL PALACE PARK - STAKEHOLDERS' DIALOGUE
October/November 2005
THIS WAY TO THE
MARQUEE This is where it's
happening (Penge Gate - lower Park area) Valerie Shawcross, London
Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark, former Croydon
Councillor; lives in Upper Norwood SE19 - opens proceedings
at the Exhibition at midday on 20 October 2005. ...followed by Tony
Winterbottom of the London Development Agency - Executive
Director Regeneration and Development. Then Charles Secrett,
LDA Board Member. Charles (sorry no picture) talked about
the nature of the proposals saying that Finally here is a glimpse
of how the new National Sports Centre and Athletics track
area might look. Highly integrated and good links to Crystal
Palace Station. A lot more green where the old NSC used to
be. Imagine arriving at the
station and walking onto a concourse overlooking the new
facilities, seeing the green of new tree plantings and the
well defined restored terracing. It could happen - Paxton's
famous park axis newly resurrected devoid of the concrete
which currently cuts it to pieces. A design competition for
the NSC will be started this month to see how current ideas
turn into real, well defined structures... ready for opening
in 2010.
