It is good to hear that you do not support the New Crystal Palace Tim because Glades 2 is exactly what will we get by the time it has been value engineeered - I am just surprised you have not registered that opinion with the Chamber.
We already have a masterplan for the park which the community should support. There are a number of funding options that could be explored to make incremental improvements. Masterplans can not be delivered over night - something of this scale could take up to 15 -20 years. if the chamber was really serious about sustainability, green business and the environment it would work with what it has and focus on the Triangle. I find the whole proposal completely at odds with plans to make Crystal Palace a transition town. The carbon footprint of a Rebuilt Crystal Palace would be enormous. I think it is time for chamber members to really think about what this actually means stand up and make your voice heard because if you don't then yes you will end up with Glades II under the guise of a new crystal palace.
Thing that causes most concern is that the NCP team claim to have massive community support for their proposal. They claim an exhibition in one of the promoter's second hand shops was where the support was generated. I went to that exhibition 3 years ago and entered my details and comments into a visitor's book. My comments were not supportive of the pastiche building. I was contacted last week by the NCP team who had listed me as a supporter! They did not use that email to update me on the extensive changes to the original scheme, o no, they were urging me to write to politicians to log my support for their multiplex. You really couldn't make this up, the misuse of public support to mislead politicians into backing their scheme, it's a shambles.
By the way it is good to hear you are not an NCP backer.
I do think the Chamber has the best intentions for the area only in the sense it wants to stimulate trade, commerce and footfall for the local businesses but also has environmental issues at heart. Hannah Bougen gave a talk only a month ago on sustainably, green business and the environment, was very interesting.
I personally wouldn't build a damn thing on the top site. But it won't be long before we get The Glades 2. Take my word for it.
The rest of the time it's busy with local issues of all sorts and very open to new members, joining and democratically voting and discussing local projects.
Why not come and join, have your say, get involved.
