Am glad to see you have been talking to everyone except local voters, and that the stats and terms you use are just to hide the real issue-that the hosp was left to run down, that the whole site can be used for needed medical services such as what was there before together with more badly needed intermediate care beds esp for the elderley, and services that have been axed at the Maudsley. There are other services as you well know. There is and never was 'spare' land that is prepostrous, it is land to be sold to developers and the lib dems are behind it for political not local reasons. If you had spent a tenth of your time you did canvassing views/trying to persuade people to back an 'aspirational' supermarket on the hosp and the police station then we may have still had worthwhile both.
