Sign the Petition Against MOL development
FOBP calls for Metropolitan Open Land at 13 Southampton Way to be landscaped into Burgess Park 

We oppose any redevelopment that builds on this land. Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) is a special designation to prevent development and maintain open spaces.

FOBP support the Council's original agreed intention to purchase and bring the sites next to the entrance (the salvage and car sale sites at 13 Southampton Way) into the park.  We ask the council to continue negotiations and if necessary compulsorily purchase the site.

Since the 1990s local residents have campaigned for Burgess Park, securing MOL status and preventing sell-offs.  The Burgess Park Action Group petition against the development has been updated and so is still relevant, please encourage people to sign it.
