The Dialogue Process brings together over 100 organisations and individuals with an interest in the Park and the National Sports Centre (NSC).

The aim of the process

The aim of this process is to provide a mechanism for ongoing detailed consultation with the London Development Agency (LDA) and the main stakeholder groups (including the general public) and to inform the LDA's decision making on the future of the Park and the NSC.

The meetings seek to explore differences and establish common ground between the groups and develop ideas for the Park and NSC.

How often groups meet

The main Dialogue Group meets approximately every three months. There are also three smaller working sub-groups focusing on Park related issues, sports issues and documenting the Park's history and heritage. These groups meet more regularly with more specific areas of focus and targeted actions.  Minutes of the meetings can be found here.

The Dialogue Group includes representatives of:

• Local community and interest groups
• Tenants' and residents' associations
• Amenity societies
• London Boroughs of Bromley, Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth and Croydon (members and officers)
• English Heritage
• Sports clubs
• Sport England
• Greater London Authority
• London Development Agency
• Local traders
• Wildlife organisations
• Green Party
• Campaigning groups
• Individual residents
• Government Office for London.

Most of these are also represented on the working groups.

The Dialogue Group tries to ensure that the stakeholder list represents a balanced cross section of views.
