This is your reply to the blog Why does The Croydon Council continually ignore the Wishes of the people of Purley,Sanderstead and Kenley
Original Message by Fred Wallis:
Once again the Council has stated that it wants to go ahead with a pool in Coulsdon.
Nothing is said about what the public want and that is a well kept Pool in Purley. The success of the swimming facilities for youths is terrific, over 2000 have joined. That is because the pool is easy to get to and is the centre of Sanderstead, Kenley,Purley and Coulsdon.
Why will the Council not come out and say that they intend to keep Purley pool open long term. Is it because they feel safe in their Purley,Sanderstead and Kenley seats and can just go on ignoring the wishes of the public.
They also want to demolish the car park and build a cinema and library. Why when we have so many cinemas that are empty most of the time and we have a perfectly satisfactory library in Purley with room to enlarge.
Have the Council got more money than sense because to demolish a building worth over £20million to provide facilities that we already have seems an action of people with no thought of how they are going to get the money. They certainly are people who should not be making decisions when the people who have to pay will be the Croydon council tax payer.
What is needed is for the head of the Council to come to Purley and tell us all why he wants to go against the wishes of the people. Maybe he wants to hide in the Council offices and just release statement to the press so that he does not have to face the people he is affecting.
I hope the rise in the number of Independent Councillors will make him think again as we really do want Councillors who represent the views of those people that elect them. Our local councillors understand what the public want but the head man just takes no notice of them or us.Is it time for a change??
