Bishop's Park will be preserved

---

 

Hammersmith & Fulham Council will not allow the current proposed development of sporting facilities on Bishop's Park to go ahead.

Commenting on the proposal, Cllr Stephen Burke, leader of the council, said:

"The council supports the protection of open spaces in the borough and of course listens to the concerns of its residents. Our role is to manage Bishop's Park for the benefit of the borough and after careful consideration we do not believe that the proposal for an astroturf sports facility is in the public interest in this location. We will therefore not allow this proposed development to go ahead.
