Lib Dems Confirm Building on Barham Park

The Brent Budget meeting saw Labour put forward an amendment to stop Brent Council from building on Barham Park, but the Liberal Democrats voted it down. Cllr Bob Wharton said that it was essential to build in Barham Park in order to finance the redevelopment of the resiform housing near the park, but I don't believe. Certainly, at least one other decant site was dropped after public protests (at Thomas A Becket Close), and I don't see why building on public green space should be so essential.
