The Park needs your help
The decision to use Greenwich Park for the 2012 equestrian events is not a done deal. There is still time to change LOCOG's plans and persuade them to find a more suitable venue for the event.
But this won't happen without you. Your support is crucial.
LOCOG still need to obtain planning permission to use the park. It is vital that everyone who cares for the welfare of the park makes their voice heard. Here are some of the ways that you can make your opinion count:
Write letters and e-mails
Please write to or e-mail the key decision makers and your elected representatives. E-mails and letters are the quickest and easiest way of ensuring your view is heard. The people who receive your letter will take it seriously and the more letters and e-mails they receive the more likely they are to take action. Contact details for the key decision makers and elected representatives are at the bottom of this page.
Display posters
Please print off our posters - see righthand side of this page - and display them in the windows of your home, school, office, shop, place of worship and any other places you can. This is a really quick and effective way of bringing the campaign to life and showing the world your support.
