Hi Pico

I was 30 when they first tried to close Honor Oak Rec. They stuck up a "consultation notice" on the back of a tree on 21 Dec 1991. Now I'm 50.

They've had 20 years to find a sensible decent long term solution. All we have are the same old tricks, flannel and bullying.

Jim Dowd and Joan Ruddock turned out to have their photos taken with campaigners 20, 18, 15 and 10 years ago. Likewise Tessa Jowell. They made all the same promises in 1992, 4, 6, 7, 1999, 2000 and 2001 to try to find a solution, work with their colleagues etc. These people are not representing you. Can any one of them show you evidence of anything they have done?

I sincerely hope that none of you fall for the cynical brush off again. Closing the Rec would mean real damage to health, children who have nowhere to grow and be healthy. It's criminal.
