Open Spaces sell-off: News Shopper PHOTOCALL – AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE WANTED! – Sunday 8th Feb., 10 a.m. Danson Park boathouse. Please ‘share’ with your local contacts.
The News Shopper is now picking up on this story and is calling for sell-off opponents to gather for a group photo. Bring a placard if you can. They are also running an online poll asking whether respondents think the land should be sold, or the budget for maintenance should be cut. Less maintenance is winning 87% to 30% at the moment. Do vote (you’ll only see the current voting figure after you do).

There is yet another Council budget consult going on, which covers the maintenance issue, and suggested responses will be put up on the Bexley Wildlife website shortly. Bexley Natural Environment Forum believes that if done intelligently, cutting back grass and other vegetation less often would have significant benefits for wildlife, would contribute to the Council’s own target of improving ‘at least’ 15 parks for nature conservation and would make parks more interesting for residents.
Apologies for the short notice but this has only just come to our attention, even though we sent NS loads of info. about the subject back on 15th Dec.
