Local Conservatives announce that our park is saved

Posted on March 29, 2015 by Kerry Hood

One of our ward councillors, Nicky Dykes, has posted about saving our park on the local conservative’s site, she tells us:

Bromley Councillors Stop Plans to Build on Havelock Rec

We are delighted to announce that our councillors tell us that they will not allow the Education Funding Agency (EFA) to build on our park:

Nicola Dykes, one of our Ward Councillors, wrote “Due to considerable opposition from Bromley Town Councillors, local MP Bob Neill and the local community, the Council has informed the Education Funding Authority (EFA) that they will not lease them the land to build the school. Instead they are working with them to find an alternative  site for the school which they are confident they will be able to do.

Heart of Havelock

Posted on March 25, 2015 by admin

Many of the Friends of Havelock Rec met up on Valentine’s Day 2015 to make a heart in the rec.

Our park is the heart of our community, so we laid out a symbolic heart in the brickfield.  We demonstrated how much, and how many of us care about our park.  Despite the chilly weather, lots of people turned up to support the campaign.

Newsletter 01 – Havelock Recreation Ground Not Saved… Yet

Posted on February 23, 2015 by Kerry Hood

Havelock Recreation Ground Not Saved…Yet!

The Council have not thrown the application out, and La Fontaine and the Education Funding Authority still have our park as their ‘preferred option’.

We are very grateful for the local conservative party’s support, but they don’t actually make the decision.  We want the option of building on Havelock Recreation ground to be dropped now, and not have to fight a planning application.
