Residents, stakeholders and industry experts will be invited to discuss their views on the £2 billion entertainment resort which looks set to see a theme park, water park, sporting facilities, an entertainment street, a staff training academy and about 5,000 hotel rooms built on the Swanscombe Peninsula.

Felon Dunphy, director of developers London Resort Company Holdings said: "The feedback provided by attendees to the previous stages of the public consultation has informed the agenda for the workshop sessions and the issues we intend to discuss."

Mr Dunphy added: "The workshops will provide an opportunity to progress issues identified at the exhibitions in more depth with our specialist consultants."
