Residents step into Welsh Harp Field Centre leasing controversy

Following my story on the Brent Council notice offering a lease on land and buildings belonging to the Welsh Harp Environmental Educatio Centre LINK a local residents association has written to Brent Council:

LEASE OF FIELD CENTRE AT THE WELSH HARP, BIRCHEN GROVE 

My residents and I were dismayed to read of the lease of this Field Centre. We hope you can understand our concern regarding anything to do with the precious Welsh Harp, after we were so very badly let down and betrayed by Barnet Council and the Barratt development.

Therefore, could you please advise on the following:

-  How long is the lease and would it be easily renewed?

-  Who will this be leased to?

-  For what purpose?

-  Will there be structural changes to the building or the surrounding land, now or in the future? If so, what restrictions will there be in place to preserve the area?

Your most urgent attention would be appreciated, as there is not much time left for objections, if necessary.

Thanking you,

Sincerely,
 
Zerine Tata, Chairwomin, Hillcroft Crescent Residents Assoc. and Co-ordinator of the Neighbourhood Watch
