NOGOE’s Media Blitz

April 27, 2009 by  

It was just a few weeks ago that BBC London’s Adrian Warner was reporting that peace had broken out between Locog and local opponents to the plans for the equestrian events in Greenwich Park. But last week there was something of a media blitz from NOGOE, including news in the Daily Mail that complaints were being lodged with the BBC over that controversial BBC report by Warner.

Elsewhere, a posting on the Save Greenwich Park blog about the threat to the park’s bioversity was picked up in The Wharf newspaper.

Then on Thursday, London Tonight did a report to coincide with the latest visit from IOC inspectors, and spoke to Sev D’Souza from NOGOE and also to the Equestrian Competition Manager for London 2012, Tim Hadaway.

Sev was back again on Friday with an appearance on BBC Radio 4′s You and Yours which reported on the ongoing controversy.

So far from peace having broken out,  it seems this one has a way to run yet and NOGOE are as determined as ever to make their voice heard.

    I noticed that in the “Greenwich Time” that the Olympic Committee are coming to Greenwich this weekend. I accidently threw the paper away – does anyone know the where and when of this ‘consultation’?
