Londoners have been given their chance to redesign the Olympic Park after the 2012 Olympics.

A month-long consultation held by the London Development Agency (LDA) toured locations across the city in June and July.

Visitors to the consultation were given the chance to physically place houses, parks and other features on a large scale map of the East London site. Activities also included an interactive panel to prioritise the importance of features and services and the opportunity to record thoughts on what should happen to the area following the London Olympics.

Tom Russell, group director for Olympic Legacy at the LDA, said: “Public consultation is a vital part of our planning process for the future of the Olympic Park site. These Legacy Now events have been carefully designed to draw out thoughts and views that will provide real influence for decision making."

All contributions will be used to produce a series of proposals for the site in the Autumn by the legacy masterplanners KCAP, EDAW and Allies and Morrissons. Planning applications will then be made next year to provide a framework for development of the site post-2012.

London mayor Boris Johnson said: "The success of the 2012 Games will be measured by the legacy that London inherits. It is critical we get our plans right now."
