I’ve received a letter from the Crown Estate today together with a glossy document which basically summarises all the objections they’ve had to their proposal to sell their housing estates in London, including their homes here in Lee Green.

The document simply tells residents what they already know – that everyone with an ounce of sense is against their proposal!  They tell us that their board will consider in coming weeks whether to proceed with the proposal.  If they do so, and once they’ve selected a buyer, a further round of consultation will occur.  There’s no promise of a ballot though.

So, a reprieve for a little while, but still no sign that they will withdraw the proposal, and without a ballot, a further round of consultation isn’t worth much.
