This is an absolutely crucial point in the planning for the skatepark!!!!
If you want this skatepark there are two pieces of action you need to take immediately!!!! The people opposing the skatepark are making their objections to the skatepark already, both through planning and through the use of a Village Green Application.
The opposition have chosen to ignore the majority in favour of a skatepark, as shown by the consultation, and instead they think they know best. We mustn’t let them win – please take the following action immediately.
ACTION!!!!
1/ Make a statement in favour of the skatepark planning application. Follow the link and complete the form:
http://www.pam.ealing.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=112991
Thanks to Phil Taylor for digging out the relevant link.
2/ Make a formal objection the the Village Green application. The opposition has decided to see if they can get Elthorne Park deisgnated as a Village Green. This would mean that there could be no changes to the Park and would scupper the skatepark entirely.
However, the Village Green process forces the council to take into account all submissions made to them. This means that if the opposition send 50 letters in favour of Village Green and we send 100 opposing Village Green status they have to take into account the weight of opinion.
Remember, all the members of you family can make separate submissions ….
Please write on the envelope, “Village Green Application, Elthorne Park”, and also write this at the top of your letter.
You need to write with your objection to:
Director of Legal and Democratic Services
Ealing Council
Perceval House,
14-16 Uxbridge Road
Ealing W5 2HL
A template for the document is Village Green PDF
Any questions, please call the officer responsible for the application, Richard Comben, 020 8825 6728.
I am also starting an e-mail petition opposing the park: e-mail me at petition@westealingskatepark.net – please write “Against the Village Green” in the subject space.
