I object to any of these sell offs. I can understand the reason to save money but not by selling off these sites which are very much a feature of the Borough. Please keep Bexley green

I think this is terrible. What can actually be done to try and stop some of these sell off’s? My immediate concern, as a resident, is site 21. I’m afraid that’ll get very little press with regards to gaining opposition, when compared to larger fields and playgrounds. Admittedly there’s not a great deal there apart from a few medium sized trees and lovely wild flowers in spring but it certain serves to improving the overall environment more than 4 new houses will. I suspect there’s already a developer somewhere, “in bed” with the council, rubbing his hands together at the prospect of making a bank load of cash out of this.
Hello, agree none should be sold off, it’s disgusting and esp surprising to see a tiny patch of grass on the edge of a round-a-bout at Belvedere – not suitable for development anyway???! . Clearly not green thinking local councils here…Wildlife need all the green patches available to them as a corridor between bigger habitats and people need space and green too, even those who haven’t yet realised it! We just wondered if anyone had thought of starting a 38 degrees petition about this – to gather support?
