As visitors to this forum know, Gunnersbury Park Bowls Club was kicked out to make way for a golf activity, which, apparently, couldn't be accommodated anywhere else in the park. However, the planning application was turned down and the green has been left abandoned.
When I heard that, with lockdown being eased, it was deemed safe to have bowling roll-ups, observing social distance, I asked Gunnersbury Park if they would allow us to use the green for the next couple of months. We wouldn't be in anybody's way or stopping anything since nothing is going on. The reason they gave for saying no is laughable:
'we do not have the staff to ensure the green would be safe to use'.
There never was any staff doing that before! Is there staff ensuring that the rest of Gunnersbury Park is safe to use? A little goodwill would have allowed us oldies a bit of exercise to get our knees working again. But no, it's best that the green should remain there, empty and unused. This is the 'Community' Interest Company!
