@wandbc is selling off part of #Tooting Bec Common to set up commercial floodlit football pitches and ruin a special local open space

Question for @JudiG & @CllrSimonHogg - will you urgently agree to stop the shameful Tory led plans to sell off part of Tooting Common Triangle (Common Land) to a sports developer for commercial gain? Exclusionary, bad for residents & the environment. @balhamnewsie @tootingnewsie

Rather less Instagramable, but @SaveOurTriangle's campaign to prevent a pay-to-play astroturf pitch being built on Tooting Common deals with the same basic issues about public space and who gives permission for it to be partitioned.


Why has @TootingCommon blocked us? The Friends of Tooting Common don't want us to see what they are saying.


Big miscalculation by @wandbc ? There's such opposition to its plan for a commercial operator to fence off part of #Tooting Bec Common and charge for its use that the Sec of State has ordered a public inquiry. This is common land, it must remain public & accessible #stopthesteal


For he's football crazy, He's football mad, The football it has taken away The little bit o' sense he had

Friends of Tooting Common @TootingCommon members opposed to @wandbc enclosure and privatisation at the Triangle Field outnumber those in favour 17 to 3, with the rest don't knows - but the leadership are sitting on the fence, telling a government inspector members are undecided


Stop the steal. One day left to email the Secretary of State and help prevent the takeover and enclosure of part of Tooting Bec Common by commercial interests. This is common land, it should remain public and accessible. More info here: …ecommercialisationoftootingcommon.com


Contrary to what developers wanting to privatise a part of our common are saying, the Triangle pitch is not neglected and abandoned by the public - they love it as it is. Some pictures have been posted here: instagram.com/friendsoftooti…


Astonishing that @TootingCommon ("Friends" of Tooting Common apparently) don't seem to fully appreciate, or care about, the impact this proposal will have on the areas next to the noisy floodlit enclosure


Let battle commence! Wandsworth Council has finally submitted its application to the Secretary of State to damage the Triangle Field, #Tooting Bec Common. Site and press notices posted today. Full details can be read here: wandsworth.gov.uk/planning-and-b… Deadline for objection: Dec 14
