Police Olympics base on Wanstead Flats?
It has recently been reported that the Police are looking to set up a temporary base on Wanstead Flats during the London Olympics in 2012.
"The proposal is to use a small area of the Flats as a temporary briefing centre for officers working on the Olympic policing operation, covering important areas such as the Olympic Park and Stadium. Our proposal does not include any permanent structures and the land would be restored to its current condition after use."
It is believed that the area in question is west of Centre road where the fair is normally situated.

Meeting Thursday 12th February 7.30 2009
The Meeting of the 12th February 09 at Godwin school was fairly well attended in spite of the miserable weather.
After an initial discussion regarding how the organisation should continue, it was decided that in addition to the open meetings such as the current one, it would be advantageous to organise a committee which would meet in between the open meetings in an effort to coordinate the responses to some of the issues regarding Wanstead Flats.
