Not sure of all details. Found the CPSP facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CrystalPalaceSportsPartnership I was there when some of the photos on the facebook page were taken. The photos of the warm up track from last Tuesday evening. It was chocker, with young, older, amateur and elite sports people, a real buzz. Very diverse range of people. The multi-use areas in the hall had basket ball team, badminton and judo going on. There was the water polo team practicing, hockey outside, and the South London Harriers going around the track I believe. Amazing for cold dark autumn evening to see so many spirited young and old doing so many activities. The NSC offers something unsurpassed for community here and region. Yet the GLA are consulting on concept options for the 'repurposing' of the NSC, in addition to comments on this thread, based on earlier discussions with the GLA and CPSP: ?All options include the removal of the stadium and loss of a warm up track. ?Complete removal of the athletics track are options the GLA are consulting on. ?Significantly reduce the range of sporting facilities currently on offer within the NSC. This could have a devastating impact on sports accessibility in South London, the Olympic legacy youth training for the next generation, and the loss of the areas ?Regional Sports Centre?. ?Diving may disappear as the pool would become too shallow for training and competition purposes with a moveable floor. ?The external pitches, multifunctional areas and large gymnastics areas may go as there is no commitment from GLA to maintain them once the next operator is appointed (when GLL?s tenure expires in 2016). This came was from detailed conservation from the GLA representatives. ?A new ?Access? route is proposed through the park from the new Car Park to/from Crystal Palace Park Road. ?Loss of a separate and family pool heated area, with an option for some ?learner pool? facility co-sharing in the main pool hall. I will check for updates/changes from the CPSP. I support their petition: https://www.change.org/p/the-greater-london-authority-save-athletics-and-sport-at-crystal-palace

Just been posted: insidecroydon http://insidecroydon.com/2014/11/05/bromley-leader-carr-attacks-boriss-palace-consultation/ Stephen Carr, the leader of Tory-run Bromley Council, has condemned London Mayor Boris Johnson?s on-going consultation over the future of Crystal Palace National Sports Centre as ??variations of one option, and this option does not immediately appear to be the ambitious and interesting scheme expected?. Bromley council leader Carr states, ?The sports facilities are important to the local community and every effort should be made to retain them.? Carr went on to criticise the way the consultation had been handled, because it had failed to consult widely enough: ?It is important that all sports clubs, both national and local, are directly contacted to ascertain true demand, and provide them with the opportunity to express their interest in the site and consider how they can contribute to the viability of the sporting offer.? He also had serious questions about the GLA?s plan to site a free school in the middle of a public park, and has put forward an alternative for a secondary academy instead. ?The introduction of an academic institution to the park may be a positive addition to the area and provide financial sustainability,? Carr wrote, ?however the council strongly favours options other than the Primary School option being further explored. ?This is an unique opportunity to develop and enhance the sporting facilities at the park by setting up a new South London flagship sports Academy, reinvigorating Crystal Palace as a place of sporting and education excellence. This approach would protect the sporting heritage of the park and ensure the local community continued to have access to a range of high quality sporting facilities. ?It is important that this opportunity is rigorously pursued and properly considered through actively approaching both the Education Funding Agency (EFA) and potential service providers. The positioning of any new academic facility needs careful consideration, and sites on the periphery of the park should also be considered due to wider implications such as traffic control and parking.? But Carr reserved his most withering criticism for the NSC consultation and the manner it has been handled. ?Initially the GLA indicated they would be producing ambitious and varied options for the future of the NSC for public consultation. However, the options which have been presented would seem to be variations of one option, and this option does not immediately appear to be the ambitious and interesting scheme expected.? Carr?s criticisms include: ?The detail provided in the consultation document does not allow Planning to take a view on whether planning permission could be granted? ?It is unclear how the footprint of the proposals fits with the Masterplan, which has outline planning permission already in place? ?It is unclear what the impact of these works would be on the listed building? ?Whether the consultation carried out will be considered adequate? And whether ?there is sufficient re-provision as stated in the consultation document for any lost sports facilities? Carr has called for the NSC consultation to be extended until February 2015, so that it could be open until the exclusivity agreement with ZhongRong for the top site expires, and for both schemes ? which in total take up almost half of the area of the Grade II-listed public park ? to be considered in tandem. The GLA had already been forced to extend the original NSC consultation period until November 16. There is a petition to request an extension and better consultation here: https://www.change.org/p/the-greater-london-authority-save-athletics-and-sport-at-crystal-palace The Consultation was meant to have closed last month, but following the strong response to the GLA, it has been extended a little, until midnight of 16th November.
