Bertie Park is still busy. OCC have nearly finished cleaning the surface, so we will have a new look soon. The photograph below shows spring on the park:
Last October, Oxford City council appropriated the land on Bertie Park. This means that IF OCC get planning permission, they can build on Bertie. But they DON’T actually have planning permission.
Lawyers advised us that it would be better to challenge planning permission than appropriation. We have no idea when Bertie Park will go to planning committee. We have been waiting for well over a year. Anna Railton says that it could go either way. But if Oxford City Council do decide to give planning permission, we WILL challenge it in court.
