Petition to stop Redbridge Council selling public land

9.37.41pm GMT Tue 6th Mar 2007

Redbridge Liberal Democrats are asking Residents to help stop London Borough of Redbridge from selling off Council assets for development.

The petition asks the Prime Minister to condemn Redbridge Council's land sales programme. Residents of the London Borough of Redbridge are deeply concerned at the Council's land sales programme, which aims to raise £100-£150 million through selling off Council land for development.

Sites being sold include popular local allotments and other open spaces, well-used car parks that are vital for local shopping centres, as well as other Council property. The consequential damage to the local environment, community and economy will be impossible to reverse if the Council's programme goes ahead.

Decisions on the future of these local assets are being taken behind closed doors and with the minimum of public consultation. (see also 'Previous news story', "Redbridge Liberal Democrats slam secret Tory plans")
