THE anxiety due to the delay in the decision about the Race Court at Fairlop Waters prompts us to point out that the areas of conflict are social and community-based.

They include developing the area as a park and leisure area dotted with restaurants and children's leisure facilities.

We cannot influence Lord Falconer but we can awaken your readership and communities to the advantages mentioned.
