Foundation to submit bid AND receives a mention in parliament

Confirmation of the sale of Udney Park playing fields was confirmed in the local press igniting hopes that the fields can be returned to community use https://teddingtontown.co.uk/2023/07/06/teddingtons-udney-park-playing-fields-back-on-the-market/

The Foundation have contacted the representatives of Mr Wu in order to put in motion an offer for the purchase of the playing fields. The site is designated as an ACV, and is currently under a moratorium which prevents the sale of the land to anyone other than a Community Interest Company (CIC) for a six month period.

A meeting has been held with Munira Wilson, local councillors, and representatives of both the Udney Park Trust, and the Teddington Society where full support for the Foundation’s bid was reaffirmed.

For the second time Munira Wilson has raised the issue of Udney Park in parliament, so hopefully this will help to concentrate everyone’s minds on agreeing a sale sooner rather than later https://youtu.be/xsAvOgL-r6I

The levelling up minister has offered to meet with Munira to explore possible Government assistance in the acquisition of the fields via the Community Ownership Fund. This will be of enormous help with so much capital also required to restore the pavilion and bring the playing areas back up to standard.
