"Sorry but Crystal Palace is absolutely something to with a council ! - Mayor of London, London assembly, the new GLC whatever you what like to call it. And as it serves the need of a community that is very close by I would think that local council, would take some interest ?"


But your point related to borough council's rather than the Mayor or the London Assembly, and local council's taking an interest in developments is not the same as having a responsibility for which they should be put under close public scrutiny, except where a project (such as CP) is could be, or is, part of the council's culture/sport/leisure strategy.


"As for the scrutiny commitee and the minutes it's not exactly direct engagement, and does not cover what has been decided outside of meetings and behind closed doors."


You said there was no scrutiny provision and I showed you that there was. Whether you are satisifed with it is a different issue, but you are free make your views known here through Community Councils and elected councillors (you could even stand yourself), unlike in places under the political control of people such as General Musharaf.

    • These neighbours dislike trees period. They refused to have lost trees replaced by the Estate on our communal green. They don’t like the leaf and seed droppings. These make the grass look ‘messy’. Similarly, they don’t like my policy of leaving the tree leaves where they lie on the grass verge - hence chopping the overhanging branches. It’s like living in the 1950s. My neighbours have three gardeners with leaf blowers who come twice weekly to remove every leaf from their front lawns. Their grass is cut weekly and all the  cuttings put in multiple brown bins. It’s an outdated mindset of the moneyed classes in my view. But sadly, I’m very much in the minority.
