Who can destroy a landmark?
• WHO has so much power that they are able to destroy a London landmark with impunity, and against the wishes of the public, MPs and heavens knows who else, and push through a scheme no one wants?
Regent’s Park has a small “wild wood” next to the former golf and tennis school site.
I learnt to play there, and so did my children and my grandchildren.
We also played a the public courts near Queen Mary Rose Garden.
We all knew Yuri Ouvarov (Tennis coach found hanged in park where he worked until school shut, December 20) and are very sad that he took his life.
Thanks to Karen Buck MP and others we managed to stop the hare-brained scheme of the Royal Parks for five-a-side pitches, or so we thought. Are they planning to go ahead when all the fuss has died down? Why do the parks still refuse to allow the golf and tennis school to reopen?
Don’t leave a superb place a shell when so many of us want to play golf and tennis in the open in central London.
