The capacities for each of the events will be 35,000 plus guests for July 3rd, 4th at the standalone concerts and 20,000 plus guests for Longitude.

The noise and disruption in 2014 was a disgrace and if the limit of 3 concerts per year that the Marley Grange Residents Ass agreed to a number of years ago can not be kept then there should be no concerts at all.
I would like to know if Marley residents assoc.are going to object to the concerts being held in the park 2015
It is not the intention at this point of the MGRA to object to the Longitude concerts. We have been in discussion and continue to do so with DLR Co Co about the various aspects of the concerts that were of concern last year and to ensure those issues get addressed this year.
How many environmental laws are broken by allowing these concerts to go ahead?
*safety of residents
*noise pollution
*access in and out of estates (especially in an emergency)
*threat to wildlife in the park
*damage caused to trees, ponds, grass, wildlife
*over-consumption of alcohol and anti-social behaviour
