By way of update my conversations with the new owners continue. We met again on Friday and inspected the inside of the pavilion building. Mr Wu’s representatives are now acutely aware (if they were not before) of the impact of recent vandalism, and I have made some suggestions on how to put in place security arrangements and roof repairs.
I want to put on record my personal thanks to Munira Wilson for keeping Udney Park in the public spotlight. Please view the last couple of videos on link below.
Since I last posted news about the private sale of Udney park to Mr Wu there has been some progress.
I have held informal meetings with Councillors Robin Brown and Julia Neden-Watts and Council Leader Gareth Roberts. I have been advised by Julia that LBRUT have been absolutely clear with Mr Wu’s representatives in respect of all of the planning constraints applicable to the site.
The proposed mid-September meeting between the Foundation and the representatives of the new owners of Udney Park has been postponed so there is no real progress to report. Concerns have become heightened that another commercial venture is envisaged as it the BVI-registered company that apparently owns Udney Park changed its name from Rich Creation to Leisure Focus in July 2022. The company is owned by a Mr Wu from the Peoples Republic of China and as things stand his intentions remain opaque.
