Public facility to be withdrawn – Redbridge want to evict the grassroots clubs in favour of West Ham United.
Redbridge are ignoring residents in favour of big business, eventhough this is public land.
Thousands in our local community, young and old will lose a vital open green space. They have nowhere to go as yet – robbing members as young at 7 of their beloved club, its facilities and their community social life.
Any representations about these proposals should be made in writing and addressed to Head of Property (attention of Jack Garrod), Property Services, 5th Floor, London Borough of Redbridge, Lynton House, 255/250 High Road, Ilford, Essex IG1 1NN or by e-mail to propertyservicesinformation@redbridge.gov.uk. These need to be received by no later than 12pm on Thursday 19th October 2023.”

If this deal goes through and Old Bealonians are evicted expect a declaration from the Council the Borough has a shortage of community sports facilities. Expect them to be grabbing part of the Wild Fairlop Plain Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) for a new green desert sports facility. In the mean time Little Heath is blighted by mammoth housing development for years to come. What is happening to our green and pleasant land?
