Local residents have their say on West Ham plans

Local residents and commuters are being asked to comment on plans to improve West Ham Station, which have been released by the Olimpic Delivery Authority (ODA). It will be one of the main stations used for people visiting the Olimpic Park both during and after the Games in 2012. The ODA have sent information leaflets to 3,000 homes in West Ham, detailing the proposals set out in the consultation. Local people are also being encouraged to attend one of three drop-in sessions in the local area for West Ham Station. The plans include a temporary walkway spanning the

eastbound track of the District and Hammersmith & City Lines and Manor Road. This new path will allow visitors to the Park to walk straight onto the Greenway and up to the Park. Regular commuters and residents will be able to follow their usual route through the station with minimal disruption during the Games.
