What does Labour say about Bertie Park?

The Labour Party says their candidate Anna Railton “will push for more truly affordable and council homes with play areas”.

Council policy is that play areas should be surrounded by buffer zones.

Bertie Park is a recreation ground. It has two play areas and a grassy buffer zone.

Everyone knows that Bertie Park Recreation ground is threatened. Anna will push for play areas, but what about recreation grounds? We have asked Anna about the difference between a recreation ground and a play area. She hasn’t replied yet.

The buffer zone is used for many different activities. If they build on the whole of Bertie’s buffer zone, what about free play? Why can’t kids at our end of the ward have a bit of grass to play on?

Free play on Bertie Park

If Anna will only push for play areas, which recreation ground will they build on next?
