Foundation submit bid to Mr Wu and support in Parliament

I have now attended two positive meetings with Mr Wu’s representatives, together with my fellow trustee, Philip Barnes. The most recent meeting was the week before last. An offer to purchase the fields has been submitted. More information has been requested. The Foundation is providing an executive summary as to why the land should be sold, in order that Mr Wu’s representatives can go back with to Mr Wu with a recommendation. This submission will go in this week.

The second meeting was also attended by our local MP, Munira Wilson, who made several robust statements in support of the bid. Munira left all attendees in no doubt as to her position. Her position has also been set out in Parliament on more than one occasion, most recently as link below.

The target remains that a decision be made by the time we reach the expiry of the moratorium period in March 2024 .

Separately LBRUT have received reassurances committing to emergency roof repairs to the pavilion. You will have noted that the flimsy hoarding erected a year or so ago has now been surrounded by something more fit-for-purpose. This will hopefully address immediate concerns about further vandalism and water ingress.
