PEOPLE can have their say on the future of Lee Valley regional Park by taking part in an online consultation.

The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA) will own, manage and fund three Olympic venues after the 2012 Games, the velopark and hockey and tennis centre, in Eton Manor and the white water canoeing course at Broxbourne, Hertfordshire.

LVRPA says it wants suggestions as to how to make the best use of the venues and also how to improve the 26-mile park's other facilities.

Rob Cairns, LVRPA head of environmental design, said: “We are asking for people’s views on the final stage of this consultation to provide more in-depth opinions on our visitor facilities, our biodiversity and environmental programmes and for ideas on how we can further develop our conservation and heritage areas.

“We are now seeking the views of local residents and visitors to find out what they want to see in their park of the future.”

The Lea Valley Park stretches from Ware, in Hertfordshire, to East India Dock on the River Thames, passing through Walthamstow and Leyton.
