Aibu or am I missing something?

The mayor of Liverpool has sold part of one of Liverpool's parks to redrow to build luxury houses on.

He maintains that everybody is happy with this development - yet over 41,000 people have signed a petition on change.org to stop the sale of Calderstones Park.

The mayor and the Liverpool City Council seem to be wilfully ignoring the wishes of the people- I just don't understand?

There has been no discussion or consultation and it seems the mayor is playing with words and definitions on whether the land counts as part of the park even though it's within the park walls and research shows time and again the land is part of the park ( and that originally it was all bought by the Liverpool council years ago to stop houses being built on it.)

There is a judicial review next month and I can only hope something will happen to stop these luxury houses being built on calderstones park land and having it taken off the people of Liverpool.

How can this happen? I know people on MN love a diagram on parking threads so I've included a diagram of where the houses are planned to be built... I just can't believe he might get away with this... is it just me?

And what messes with my head even more is that we normally look out and frown upon the daily mail snooping out threads on here to make articles about but this time they have already done an article about it!!

Such a mind f**k- happy it's got national coverage but it's the mail...

What is that about???
