Precious hasn’t posted a blog for a while because, as far as we know, Wandsworth has taken very little action with regard to the pitches. Our petition, which attracted nearly 1200 signatories in a very short period of time was presented to Wandsworth Council at a recent scrutiny committee meeting but appears to have been given only a cursory glance. However, we gather that an advertisement seeking expressions of interest is due to be published soon and the pitch development remains firmly on Wandsworth’s agenda. So please come along to the Tooting MAC APM and give your views.
