This is the leaflet we plan to deliver down Hillcross Ave

Saving Morden Park

It looks like the council has changed its mind about allowing the Goals soccer centre proposal to go straight to planning permission. They now accept that the Goals proposal is unpopular and have proposed a further consultation.

You can see the consultation plans for yourself on the council website http://www.merton.gov.uk/democratic_services/ds-agendas/ds-fpreports/754.pdf

You will see that whilst saying they want to explore potential options for Morden Park the Goals proposal is still very much on the table and appears to be the preferred option.

So, whilst being delighted with the announcement of consultation there is still the need to continue to campaign to protect Morden Park from the environmental disaster that the Goals plan represents.

Hopefully this consultation represents a dignified way for the council to withdraw their support from the Goals plan but reassurance is needed that the park will stay in public hands and will be developed for the benefit of the local community and not simply to make as much money as possible for the Council. Until that reassurance is received the campaign will continue.

We will be in touch soon with next steps in the campaign. In the meanwhile if you can get your neighbours to display the green posters you can download them from www.mordenpark.org.uk. Don’t forget to sign up to the email group.


Does anyone have a spare minute to help deliver them?

The committee should look at all options prior to making a hasty decision. Unfortunately there are many synthetic turf companies that mislead the consumer about the facts regarding synthetic turf. The U.S. Turf Company has a mission and company philosophy that educates and informs the consumer to provide more knowledge about the facts and test data regarding synthetic turf. The U.S. Turf Company has developed the new GEN-5 athletic system that does not use ANY CRUMB RUBBER INFILL. Please review our website for more information at www.usturfco.com and you will see how informative the site is so the consumer can learn about all aspects of synthetic turf.
