The playground in Apsley Road is a beloved part of the communities of Woodside and South Norwood. It’s a peaceful place where children can play while keeping off the streets, which brings the neighbourhood closer together.
It hasn’t always been taken care of the way it should, but losing it would be a tragedy for the community, which is why I am proud to back a Conservative ticket opposing development of open spaces like Apsley Road Playground which have lost their protections under the grievously insensitive local plan. I will fight to protect it for the next generation.
