2 March (Part 4) - When it’s gone it’s gone
The
Bexley Wildlife website reveals that Bexley council expects to sell its 27 open spaces for £10 million.
It’s quite a lot of money, Bexley only collects about £100 million from tax payers, but they are not planning to reduce
council tax, far from it, their
stated aim is to spend the money on maintaining the remaining parks.
What’s going to happen when they have spent it all? Are the parks going to be
picked off one by one to pay for the others? That way lies catastrophe, except
for enthusiasts for concrete jungles. But
the Conservatives 200,000 new homes
a year have got to go somewhere.
