It is your chance, as one of the many thousands of residents who petioned to save the school, to make you feeling felt over this wanton and greed driven destruction of the playing fields.
Please email mps@rbkc.gov.uk and tell them to leave our playing fields alone

There do not seem to be any playing field on the current site - or have I missed something?
ReplyDelete09.30: If you follow the RBKC link above through to "Consultations" you can click through to a ground plan of the site. The Playground area is A2 and A3 on the plan, coloured orange and blue.
DeleteThis is to be developed for commercial use to provide the council with a stream of income to finance its other vital activities. Such as maintaining the Bentley.
Presumably no need for the richest council in the country to think of using its money on other frivolous projects like affordable housing.
And where will the children get any exercise if there's no playground?
How ironic that a guy called Guy Parks should project manage an application to concrete over open space that a more caring council would insist become a park.
ReplyDeleteMus be worth a little fortune. Who is getting the customary 'finders fee'? It should remain an open space, used by the local residents for recreational purposes.
ReplyDeleteIs it true that a former minority party leader on RBKC is in business as a local property consultant? Despite having no qualifications in planning or architecture, it's believed that he charges £10,000 a time for 'advising' his clients on how to get the best results from RBKC Property and Planning.
ReplyDeleteYes, just google Keith Cunningham and you will find.
ReplyDeleteHe claims credit for the Wornington Green disaster, the LDF consultation travesty and various other democratic abuses. His strap line is "Success in Planning." That says it all.
