Key local groups The Teddington Society and the Udney Park Playing Fields Trust say they back a new bid organised by Hampton Wick resident Jonathan Dunn to buy the fields from private developer Quantum.

The bid was announced last week and is backed by several local sports groups and Teddington MP Munira Wilson.

Responding to the news, a spokesperson for the Teddington Society said: "We are delighted that a well-supported community bid has been assembled by Teddingtonian Jonathan Dunn to acquire the site for multiple sports activities – rugby, football, cricket, tennis, netball and a mini “Park Run.”

I thought that I ought to update everyone as the latest moratorium period under the ACV is about to expire. At this point Mr Wu can market the site again to commercial bidders. Before the moratorium period he attempted to sell the site over a twelve-month period and attracted an offer from a single developer called Mr Williams. This bid later evaporated. No doubt Mr Wu hopes for more meaningful interest the next time around.
