iCity Public Consultation and Exhibition for Press and Broadcast Centres


iCity, the preferred bidder for the Olympic Press and Broadcast Centres  (the big grey building opposite Wick Village)  is holding a public exhibition and community consultation at Cre8 centre (old Baths) in Hackney Wick and Hackney Services Centre.

We will be able to view iCity’s plans, speak to members of their team and give our views on their proposals.

One thing of concern to Wick Village is that we have been told that iCity would like to keep the 'temporary car park', this is something we will be able to ask them about as well as other issues such as increased traffic, light pollution, noise, construction work, landscaping and employment opportunities.

About the public exhibitions
iCity will host four days of public exhibitions at the following times and venues:

  • Friday 15 March, 10:30 – 8pm: Cre8 Lifestyle Centre, The Old Baths, 80 Eastway, Hackney Wick, London, E9 5JH
  • Saturday 16 March, 10am – 4pm: Cre8 Lifestyle Centre, The Old Baths, 80 Eastway, Hackney Wick, London, E9 5JH

Data Protection Breach

Following a complaint to the ICO, we have been informed of a data protection breach by the LLDC. The planning officer revealed personal email addresses of people who had commented on Gainsborough Bridge planning application in a group email. All the affected people have been contacted by LLDC and can make a complaint or request an internal review if they are not satisfied with the LLDC's response.




Hackney Council Marshes Consultation

Hackney Council are planning to apply for Planning Inspectorate (PINS) consent to hold public entertainment events on Hackney Marshes. This would mean more festivals and events being held there, like the Radio 1 Hackney Weekend event last summer. 

Have your say by filling in the council's questionnaire here.
