Oxford City Council cabinet first met on 15th November 2023 to decide whether to appropriate Bertie Park for building. It was pulled from the agenda 3 hours before the meeting and rescheduled for February 7th. It is now on the agenda for March 13th …. We were told Bertie Park might go to planning in January… then we were told that we just have to sign up for alerts and check every month…
OCC don’t want to keep us informed because the last time they did, we leafletted the area. Whether they they decide to give planning permission OR appropriate the park, we have legal grounds to mount a challenge.
The Local Government Ombudsman could not consider our complaint. We could not show that we have been directly harmed as a result of the council’s actions because OCC have not yet built on Bertie.
Save Bertie Park Oxford
