Who should I contact and what do we need to know?
What do we need to know? Here are some of the questions people have been asking:
- Where’s the evidence that there is ‘high demand’ for these facilities from the local community?
- Who does the Council expect will use these facilities?
- The Council estimates it might generate £100,000 per annum from these facilities. Is it legitimately within the Council’s gift to rent out common land for commercial gain?
- How much will it cost to rent a pitch for an hour?
- How much does it currently cost to rent the all weather pitch on the Triangle?
- Exactly how many pitches will there be?
- Exactly how big will they be?
- How high will the perimeter fences be?
- How many floodlights will there be? How high will they be? How strong will they be?
- Has the potential effect on wildlife been assessed?
- What exactly will happen to Woodfield Recreation Ground?
- More football? Isn’t there enough already on Tooting Common?
- What exactly do you use the Common for?
