| I went to the same meeting about the Free School, in part because of the local buzz about using parks and allotments to build schools on. I'm none the wiser about that as the selection of secondary sites was a bit glossed over. But the preferred site is a good one and would be ideal solution for the local population boom. But they will need playing fields and Gunnersbury park is just a 12 min walk away - at Kids speed about 20. But included in the remit could be a revamp for the changing rooms and basic sports facilities. And being for all people would also not require division. I too wonder whether a trust should take control of the park. It is the politics of two boroughs that has caused such neglect. Can't ever see that changing and can't ever seem councils being trusted to protect what they see as a financial asset and not a vital amenity |
