The Foundation have written to the new Chinese owners of Udney Park. The owner is an investment fund run by a Mr Wu. The company name is Leisure Focus and they are based in the British Virgin Islands.
Udney park community playing fields have been sold to an off shore investor registered in the British Virgin Islands.
The Localism Act and the protection to Udney Park that was supposed to be imposed via ACV status has beentrampled over by previous owners - AHH.
The Foundation have written to local councillors (Robin Brown and Julia Neden-Watts), calling for them to intervene to prevent the secret deal to sell Udney Park being completed behind closed doors at the LBRUT offices at York House.
Paul Chadwick of LBRUT has responded to the recent letter from the Foundation and the contents of his communication appear disappointing. Please follow this link to view the contents of Pauls letter. Letter from Paul Chadwick
This letter confirms that a deal is being discussed behind closed doors at the council offices without any community engagement, or indeed engagement with local elected representatives. The Foundation has responded correcting Mr Chadwick on a number of points and requesting an immediate meeting, rather than wait another six months as he proposes to do.
