12 September (Part 2) - Water torture. Belvedere Splash Park still threatened
The first Splash Park deadline passed last week and there is almost no
information around about what might be happening.
Two
groups were said to be interested in the early days and that is almost certainly still the case but any
cooperation between them is entirely one way. One might have thought that collaboration between
the two could only be beneficial but the charity leaders’ offers have fallen on deaf ears.
The commercial organisation
backed by Erith & Thamesmead Conservative General
Election candidate Anna Firth shows no sign of wanting to speak to anyone.
Putting a business plan before Bexley council is a daunting prospect for the team of volunteers behind
Friends of Belvedere Heritage. Bexley council will not make it easy for ‘amateurs’.
Remember how
the
council turned down Howbury Friends with a proven track record of
success in Slade Green in favour of their business friends? To them, volunteers
spell Socialism, and it is only business that appeals to Bexley Conservatives.
Bexley council’s
invitation to tender.
