Residents group suing Ealing Council over Warren Farm

[Stanley]

Lol. Just people who have been sucked in to a "no win-no fee" situation in the faint hope of a payout.

It won't even get past the first hearing.

As I say, this seems more about ulterior motives.

Essentially this appears to be their argument:

"We are losing 61 acres of freely accessible open green space used for school and adult sports, and for informal leisure."

To which Ealing council's respond:

“The development will secure long-term investment in high-quality community sporting facilities that will benefit generations of Ealing residents – and at no cost the tax payer. The development is supported by Sport England and other sport governing bodies, as well as many residents in Norwood Green.”

So I really can't see their problem.

Convenient also how they overlook the fact that the facilities currently are completely dilapidated and in desperate need of repair and investment that would only bring benefit to their "schools, adult sports, and informal leisure."

Maybe someone should go down there and take a few pictures of the state of things and post them up on a site somewhere. Might be interesting to see them say they're losing facilities that are shown to be in terrible condition...

There was a video of just that on QPR Player not long ago. It should still be up there. It looked horrendous - totally run down, vandalised etc.

They probably don't want us to have it and want the council to cough up the dosh to do it up.

derelict site used by locals as a dog poopery....."no rent", that's trueish except for the 12million pound lease....these residents haven't a prayer and will have to find somewhere else for their doggy doos

Bunny Park is only a short walk on

It is all part of the process. Some residents ALWAYS get upset even if you are building them a supermarket that will give them free food for life some will moan.

If the Council will not pay anything then they will let the people post their complaints, it will go through a process and then progress will happen regardless.

That bunch of mutants probably won't be able to write a complaint between them anyway.

There is a twitter account set up to counter the opposition account and that supports our application at WarrenFarm4QPR, if anyone wants to join.

Bet they're just protesting for the sake of it, it's not like they have anything better to do.

I once lived near Hanwell Broadway and when the Bus Station was getting knocked down the same people (probably) protested against the regeneration of that whole block of shops around it ........................

They ended up with a Aldi & a Poundstretcher and all the crappy shops left as they were GOOD MOVE LADS

Attention seekers.

Should make them all do a cross country run on warren farm as I had to do when my school used the place.

These people could also be the ones that are objecting to Brentford new ground.
