Council Vote

At a full council meeting the council voted to extend sporting facilities but not to develop green open spaces. Well done Councillors Bettridge and Pearce for adding such a good amendment. You can read an acount of this meeting in this weeks issue of the local guardian.

I am truly baffled as to why the conservative councillors are so desperate to see Morden Park spoilt by such an awful development. I know that some of the councillors who are supporting the "Goals!" scheme are the same councillors who passionately defended Morden Park from a floodlit golf proposal. I know that they won't be happy to see the park used as a carpark and a bar.

I really wish that local democracy meant that councillors voted for schemes on their merits and not on party loyalty. Maybe the Merton Park residents have got the right idea!
