The future of the playing fields at Hackney Marshes has been discussed at periodic meetings of the Hackney Marshes Sports Facilities Improvement (Olympic Legacy) Steering Group. These meetings, which began in 2005, are co-ordinated by officers of the London borough of Hackney and the London Development Agency (LDA). Sport England is among the stakeholders contributing to these discussions, which also include the Football Association, the National Playing Fields Association and the London Playing Fields Foundation.
Work with consultants has been progressing to develop a draft sports strategy for the Hackney Marshes to provide new changing accommodation and substantially improved sports facilities to attract increased community participation in sport in the area. The London borough of Hackney and the LDA are planning to announce public consultations on their draft sports strategy within the next few months.
