NOGOE Go To Downing Street

Representatives of the campaign to halt the events from the 2012 Olympic Games taking place in Greenwich Park have visited 10 Downing Street to deliver their petition to the Prime Minister.

NOGOE (No to Greenwich Olympic Equestrian Events) delivered the box containing 13,200 signatures last Friday and cheekily included a packet of biscuits.

The petition signatures were collected at the gates of Greenwich Park during the summer, and NOGOE say that postcode analysis showed that 80% of the signatories were from south-east London, 10% were from other parts of London and the remaining 10% were from the rest of the country and abroad.

Another box of signatures will be delivered to London Mayor, Boris Johnson, and Green Party assembly member, Jenny Jones, today at City Hall.
