Camden New Journal - Letters to the Editor
Published: 15 November 2007

Be a sport, save park

• IN allowing the theft of unique public park land, Westminster and Camden councils and the Royal Parks Agency are creating a dangerous precedent.
These bodies know well that a park has quite different, but equally important, functions from sports fields, and in the case of the London Parks 80 per cent of the users are not sportsmen at all.
When there are already so many sports facilities, why should the theft of universally available public land in this unique and vital green space be condoned by the so-called guardians?
Regent’s Park is as much a national and international feature of London as the other Grade I-listed places in our capital.
