looks like a lengthy procedure with lots of scope for appeal by Meadow .


I guess Southwark would cite building council homes and keeping the club as reasons ,



"Legislation in England and Wales gives many authorised bodies (referred to in this booklet as

?acquiring authorities?) the power to acquire land compulsorily where the landowner or occupier is

not willing to sell by agreement. "


"Compulsory purchase powers are provided to enable acquiring authorities to compulsorily

purchase land to carry out a function which Parliament has decided is in the public interest"

It's rebounded on Blake Morgan - who seem to have south wales origins it seems :(


Although there seems to be some signs of compromise

Edit: thinking again is this compromise - or what Meadow wanted originally and have tried to make seem like a compromise position through recent actions.

This so-called compromise (ie, threaten all manner of nasty stuff and then row back a bit) is already dead in the water ? Southwark Council won't give Green Dale to them and the Supporters Trust has said that 'there can be no future for any development involving Meadow at Champion Hill'.
They are right now putting a solid fence along the back....making a thin pathway on a major walkway from Bessemer Grange School.....means the path will be without street lighting in an area already highlighted for potential crime....These people are mean....winding up the local community...crap public relations....all these primary kids wondering what's going on....'oh just the mean developers from Meadow wanting to build on your park, put up fences and in the process of kicking out your local football team'.....hopefully it will feed into their wider education...

Sorry, why will there be no Street lighting?


I think blocking that road and the entrance to the astroturf is disgusting. It is just inconveniencing residents and surely they need to keep residents on side? I assume Meadow are running into the ground so it is worthless so they can build on it but there is no way residents are going to support that with the way they are trying to hold the community to randsom... serious toys being thrown out of pram childish behaviour!

From how Meadow are regarding what they view as 'their property' I am assuming this is the building line they would have adopted in reality if people would have swallowed the utter bollocks they proposed about a 'linear park'in their planning application to keep Greendale connected to St. Francis.

From DHFC's FB page:


"BREAKING:


The Southwark Council cabinet has voted unanimously to release funds to attempt to acquire Champion Hill to provide social housing for the borough, and safeguard the future of @DulwichHamletFC.


We urge Meadow to enter negotiations swiftly so we can return home.


Note: Social Housing would be provided on the current site of the ?car wash? car park, and the stadium would be protected from any future housing development. "

It could take as long as three years to follow through all the processes to a CPO if Meadow decide to be obstinate. So this could take a while. I really hope it doesn't. I don't follow football, but any business (and I guess even DH is a business) will suffer if decamped for that length of time. There is more at risk that just the actual land and ground from this.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
