The Bertie Park “Consultation” is this Autumn.
Imagine you want a child to sleep before the baby sitter arrives. Don’t ask if they want to go to bed. The answer will be no. Ask a different question instead like: “Which bed-time story shall I read?” This is more likely to get them to do what you want.
What has this got to do with the Bertie consultation?
The council won’t ask us if they can build on our recreation ground. The answer will be no. Instead, they will ask how they can turn the waste-land behind Wytham Street into a wonderful community space.
Police and parents say that the waste-land is not safe for unaccompanied children. Parents with kids playing on Bertie cannot even see it! How could it be a replacement for the green space/buffer zone?
