Massive public support for Labour’s campaign to save Welsh Harp

Labour’s campaign to save the Welsh Harp Park from housing development is gathering pace and this week Labour Councillor Harry Singh and Dawn Butler MP accompanied by Welsh Harp Labour Action Team members Dhiraj Kataria and Roxanne Mashari delivered a petition to the Town Hall containing the signatures of nearly 400 residents opposing the plan.

The residents who all live in neighbouring streets are supporting Labour’s campaign against the proposal to build 71 dwellings on the site of the Greenhouse Garden Centre in Birchen Grove adjacent to the Welsh Harp Park. Labour is also opposing similar proposals on the Barnet side of the park.

Councillor Harry Singh, said:

“The Welsh Harp Park and reservoir is a unique open space and wildlife habitat and Labour intends to keep it that way.”
