Wembley Stadium due to disappear behind more high rise flats
The pictures speak for themselves but officers think the plans are superior to those submitted in 2007 - although a lot has changed in the area since then. Officers say that no affordable housing needs to be provided on this site as it is over-provided on other sites in the overall Quintain development.
Powerleague will be temporarily housed in a 'meanwhile' space at Wembley Retail Park close to the Yellow Pavilion. Incidentally the controversial Powerleague proposals for Kingsbury High School appear to have stalled.
The housing will be 11% studio, 41% one bedroom, 46% 2 bedrooms and 3% 3 bedrooms (yes I know it doesn't equal 100% bu that's what the report says). There will be an artificial grass lawned terrace at first floor level and another terrace on the 10th floor as well as a small public square.
The retail space will allow 'outdoor cafe culture' to spill out into the area.
Wedged between the Stadium and the Arena clearly there will be noise problems but 'acoustic solutions' are planned and potential buyers can't really be aware of the potential problems.
Personally I feel that the loss of the shouts and thumps of footballs from the Powerleague will take away from the atmosphere of the area. At present there is live football, in a sense, at Wembley Stadium every day. A far better place for the shouts and thumps than at the back of suburban gardens!
The reports says that notices of the application were sent out to nearby owners and occupiers including the the London Designer Outlet, Wembley National Stadium, Hilton Hotel and Raffles House but rather surprisingly at the time of the publication none had responded. There is no record of any representations from Tokyngton ward councillors.

Open Mic
Do you want to organise an Open Mic with musicians, maybe poets and other performers? We’ve some interest from performers and people to help and are looking for someone who can take a lead with help.
Help with arts and crafts workshops over the Easter holidays. For all of these we already have someone leading the activity and they’re looking for help:
Organise a local table tennis league
We’re looking for a volunteer or two to start a table tennis competition to find the best player in Wembley Park using our outdoor table. Skills needed are being well-organised, enjoy emailing and can use your email account for this and good with communicating. We can help with publicity of course.
Fixing electronics
We hope to run an event in May with volunteers helping people fix electronics such as monitors, smartphones or vacuum cleaners. If you have skills or an interest in this area let me know please.
To find out more about any of these please email or phone me.
Best wishes

Lots of activities available at the Yellow Pavilion, Wembley Park
The Yellow Pavilion is providing a useful function in its temporary site. I am assured it will be relocated to another temporary location when building work starts on the theatre and the activities will eventually be housed in a permament community centre on the Alto site.
