Watching Walthamstow: Bringing Big Screen Entertainment to our Town Centre ?

Several readers have contacted me recently regarding plans for Walthamstow to join in the 2012 Live Sites project for the Olympic Games. This could involve the provision of a permanent 25sq metre screen in Walthamstow town centre. It will broadcast for sixteen hours a day and show a mix of national sporting and cultural events as well as local films and cultural endeavours too. The plan is for this screen to be in place by this August so that it can broadcast the Beijing Olympic games, with its contents being supported and managed by the BBC as well as Waltham Forest Council. These proposals are at an early stage and there are plans for a consultation on the scheme in the near future so if you would like to register interest in this scheme or learn more about how to participate in the planning process please get in touch.
