Protect our Common
GOOD NEWS!!!
Wandsworth Council has confirmed that it will NOT be progressing its plans to build a commercial football complex on the Triangle area of Tooting Common . Our Tooting Common Thousand (Plus) petition, which gathered over 1,100 signatories and hundreds of comments (see them here) - appears to have had its effect. Thank you to all who became involved.
The plan to open up Woodfield Recreation Ground as part of the Common will go ahead but not as compensation for land swallowed up by five a side football pitches. Instead the playground and one o' clock club will be fully refurbished and the existing floodlit football pitch will become two five a side pitches.
We now need to decide whether we should keep this site going in any form - should Precious become a Friends of Tooting Common?
Please let us know what you think. Your say
