| I wonder how you got these facts and whom your sources are? Residents around Lammas Park some of who are suffering and recording impacting effects in a myriad of ways have not been able to glean any verifiable and actual facts for near two years. A wall of silence from Walpole Ward Councillors ( in which the park in The park is entirely located) and a load of conflicting and deflecting responses from the Northfields Councillor who is part responsible for the mishandling of this project. Your facts as presented are far removed from the reality. You are either gullible or putting up on someone's behalf. You certainly do not know the history of the district, or indeed want to know. Why indeed Public Parks were created when 80% of the surroundings were meadows, orchards and open land. Why indigenous but safe fauna and flora and trees were selected. Some of the most environmentally effective tree species that have been felled without justification , far older than the park and the trunks reveal no disease or decay. Met with silence. Pure environmental vandalism. Public Health Thames water using a public park with a very cheap solution to enable large developments. Benefits them, the council and its developer chums. But not the residents of this district. Unverifiable claims of homes at risk - but unable do explain where and exactly how. The geology of the site - Which I possess a full survey of the entire district but strongly recently removed from the LBE website. Unless there has been an earthquake in the last 25 years this does not change but water fissures do. No Impact assessment. No H&S assessment. No proper and comparable wildlife assessments. Cooked tree assessments and again complete ignorance about the Five Spires Chestnut trees. The "rare important skill" is verifying these 'facts' and as several professional researchers have found. They are unsound and untrue and wanting. As are many of the documents that are accessible. However, they are not open publicly to question in detail and you won't get an answer. You have to know your subject inside out to be able to verify some of the claims. And these are written in a way to deflect rather than inform. As for safe ponds, you clearly have not grown up here. So can be forgiven for not knowing of the drownings and incidents in four local ponds. The worst in Gunnersbury Park, Potomac Pond around 1991. But if you don't know don't make claims or assumptions. Go and check, and check and check again. Which is what those researching diligently do. The Boating pond was closed for being too dangerous for its purpose. This is far less shallow than the ponds in Lammas park and with no fall. Then there are all the issues with contamination and ground disturbance. Fact: That is verifiable in only one context No-One knows because the data is not being made public or the data has never been gathered and tested. The Fact the LBE remain silent and refuse to be open and honest says more than any fact. Why the silence? Unless of course you have that in your possesion too. |
