It makes pretty depressing reading. Especially clause 22 where they propose to sell off park land for development.
Half the saving would come from selling half of one site. It makes you think whether the target could be Danson Park.I did not know that you could sell off green space but what do i know.
The survey is a bit of a beast I am afraid.

All i can see is they plan to dispose of up to 27 out of 106 green spaces. That's worrying.

Aparently the 27 bits of land have already been sold and looks like they are small patches here and there so not part of the 106 green spaces.
But that link suggests they have a list drawn up that includes actual park land that they refuse to make public. That is worrying.
I thought they couldnt touch greenbelt land?!?
It's just not the same anymore. Whenever I come back to visit it just doesn't have the same feel. Drove home on a Saturday night through Bexley Village and the place was teeming with drunk chavs. Where did they all come from? It used to be a really nice little high street. I got out when I move to South west Surrey 10 years back and Dad will follow suit.
Makes me sad when I go back as I loved living there as a kid but the place has changed.
Mainly quoting Bexley here, as it shocked me. Bexleyheath was a bit Chavtastic anyway but I guess has now gone off the scale.
I agree with 1905 though. I reckon they have made their mind up already.
Then what, in 5 years time, when more funding is required because of more Government cutbacks?
Public land is a finite resource.
The local authority is trusted to be the guardian of that land.
Otherwise there will be precious little public land for the next generation.

Well done, Mr Tuckley.
You earn more than the Prime Minister.
'Mr Tuckley pays 12.5% of his salary into the Local Government Pension Scheme'.
I bet he bleeding does, this is the killer for councils, they need to get into the real world.
Permanent loss of public amenity.
Very worrying.
Bexley is a big place, and covers a diverse and broad region. I have lived in the village for over 30 years, I moved here because I could not afford to buy a house in Greenwich/Blackheath. Having recently been considering moving back to Lower Greenwich, Blackheath standard I think my wish is more of a fairy tale , based on the current prices. I do find many of the reasons why I moved here? are no longer relevant.( although my memory is not as good as it was) Open spaces: not just Hall place, but sections of open land for instance at Beth's school, constant traffic jams through the village, the ever present roadworks, and the long promised bypass which has driven out the unique business's, like Dennis the butcher's, to be replaced by nail bars, estate agents, and take away's. Charming little events like the Bexley Village Christmas festival long gone. Okay nothing new, or unique,just to the village... but why would you want to stop and get out and shop, visit the pub etc. Now where to buy a tin of paint, or fresh fruit, or fish, or fresh meat, unless you count the prepackaged frozen stuff at the corner shop, at quite a mark up!. The school's are still decent, but devisive ( Bexley selective) yes I know about them, my wife is a teacher, and I was a former school governor at the primary.
Okay I might have deluded myself that this was a 'London village' and perhaps things are not that great in Blackheath/Standard/Greenwich full of tourists, and prep schools, and over priced bars ( I was there on Saturday, and today) but the council of Bexley do like to make things awkward from themselves, that is unless it is refurbishing new council offices, and making Bexleyheath, having another makeover/roadwork revamp. So the question I have to ask myself do I wish to live here much longer, with these type of antics proposed I think I know the answer. Any chance of a 2 bed house, Garden flat in the area's I have mentioned...... under £350,000-£400,000..... I thought not?
But i just don't seem to see the negative things that others do. When weighing up its position and cost of housing, I think it offers tremendous value when compared to other London boroughs.
