Which landmark in Wandsworth do you think represents the brighter borough best?
As part of the build up to the 2012 Olympic Games, residents are being asked to vote which landmark should represent Wandsworth on a set of Olympic Games pin badges.
People can vote for one of the following local landmarks: Battersea Power Station, Albert Bridge, Wandsworth Town Hall or the Buddhist Peace Pagoda, Battersea Park.
Sebastian Coe, chair of the London 2012 Organising Committee, said: “Inviting Londoners to create the ‘Landmark London’ set is one of many ways people will be able to get involved in the London 2012 merchandise programme.”
Wandsworth has been approved as a potential home of a pre-games training camp because of its many excellent sporting facilities.
Representatives from the South Africa and Barbados Olympic teams have already made fact-finding visits to the borough to inspect training facilities with a view to setting up in Wandsworth.
All 33 London boroughs are holding similar votes to decide the landmark that best represents their area.
Sarah McDermott, Wandsworth Council’s leisure spokesman, said: “The Games will be a truly historic event for London and Wandsworth potentially has an important part to play.
“We hope that these badges will help local people to celebrate and remember their Olympic experience”
