Support Teddington's playing fields..

Not my usual property topic today folks but one that many people have brought to my attention recently. Worth mentioning and therefore supporting in my book.




Imperial College, the owner of 13 acres of playing field bounded by Udney Park Road, Kingston Lane and Cromwell Road in Teddington, has recently put the site up for sale.
This is something that should be, and is, close to the heart of many Teddington residents and @Teddington_Town is helping to support the bid. Below is a quote from the Teddington Town website...

"After Imperial College ceased sporting activities at their sports fields on Udney Park Road, rumours have been rife about the future of the 13 acre site in the heart of Teddington. The process is now open for bidders to make themselves known but the desperate need for local sports facilities, green spaces and protection against over-development has led to the formation of a concerned group Space to Play. 
Space to Play is a community consortium of local sports clubs, schools, businesses and residents that are coming together to ensure that the Imperial College playing fields remain an open space and a dedicated sports facility that can be opened up to the whole community. Local sports clubs and some schools are in need of extra playing fields in order to meet the demand from local families – many have long waiting lists to join clubs 
The group needs support of local residents to ensure that this ‘presumption’ becomes a ‘conviction’. Interested parties must put forward proposals in the next few weeks and a community bid would almost certainly be the best way of safeguarding as much of the land as possible. Visit their website for more info and to add your signature to their petition if you are also concerned about the future of the site."

Have a great weekend! (Back to property stuff on Monday I promise)! :o)
