I don't think that the original poster was necessarily unaware of the concept of municipal golf courses just that the Perivale course was one. I grew up next to a such a course and played on it regularly when I was younger so completely agree that as a concept they are a good thing. However, in a densely populated urban area where our paucity of open green spaces was highlighted during the pandemic the continuation of such facilities has to be weighed against the alternative uses for the land. Most people don't play golf but everyone will have access to the new park which probably explains why closure was so overwhelmingly endorsed during the consultation. |
