28 November (Part 1) - Nothing is sacred to Bexley’s Philistines

Crayford Marshes which are officially designated Metropolitan Green Belt has been put up for sale by a penniless Bexley Council following its failure over twelve years to get the borough a government grant at the same level achieved by Greenwich. Bexley is the highest taxing Conservative borough in London.

They hope to get in the region of £4·3 million for the desecration of yet another of Bexley’s green lungs, home to so much wild life. Buzzards, Kites, Egrets, Herons and Kingfishers to name just a few birds.

Bounded by two rivers with a third running across it the site is an obvious flood risk and may not be suitable for housing and mineral extraction would be the likely outcome of a sale.

If you take the Sidcup loop line train before the cross borough service is cancelled in two weeks time you can take a good look at the land in question.
