Leyton marsh: Spot the Deliberate Mistake!


To help spread the Olympic spirit, the ODA has just launched a brand new game for the local community to play:

Spot the Deliberate Mistake!  

If you'd like to play, the press the link:  ODA letter.  

The winner of the game will be the person who identifies the most deliberate or misleading errors in the attached letter and layout plan.

 

How many can you spot?

 

Answers on a postcard to the ODA.  


Scroll down to the bottom of the page reveal our 'starter for ten' .....




A few suggestions you might want to draw upon
1.       The area occupied by the ODA construction area is not the same as the drawing. The plan is wrong.
 
2.       The drawing shows an oblong area, but the actual fence line includes part of the two access roads from the Sandy path: and the wheel-washing equipment is located in one of these areas. The plan is wrong.
 
3.       There is, of course, no open public access to these areas and the plan is misleading. Where the public is or is not free to go must surely be crystal clear: It is not.
 
4.       The name ‘Leyton Marsh’ is placed over Walthamstow Marsh.
 
5.       Walthamstow Marsh (the cow enclosure) is a SSSI where access is to be discouraged/care taken.
 
6.       The plan states that Leyton Marsh (actually Walthamstow Marsh) is a playing field: It is not. It is open space land.
 
7.  The plans shows a vehicle access route ‘open to public access’. Parts of theses areas are fenced in and not open to public access. Many of the disputes have arisen in these areas. 
 

8.       The use of the term ‘open to public access’ in relation to the sandy path and the two site accesses is misleading. These areas are in fact part of the open space and they should be open and free for all to enjoy for any normal open space activity (within the byelaws of the park): Free use of these spaces is actually very restricted. 
 
9.  The access route is in fact also a construction area, not just an access route, with JCB’s operating and digging, on the path and on the adjacent verge.
