Consequences
Green Space Neglect: Potential deterioration of the previously well-maintained golf course area. Flooding Risks: Increased flood hazards with the loss of the natural barrier provided by the golf course. Community Asset Loss: The golf course served as an active community and recreational hub, especially for valuable people who easily get excluded from society such as seniors, disabled individuals, minorities, and the working class. Health Impact: Overlooked the proven health benefits of golf compared to just walking. Questionable Decision-Making: Highlighted the need for more transparent and consultative processes in decision-making. Council leaders' official position was to close first and conduct feasibility studies afterward. Relocation of the Golf Club Community: The golf club community was moved to Brent Valley Municipal Course, with the majority of members relocating to the new venue. The Ealing Council's haste and lack of clarity in planning underscored the need for careful consideration of these impacts on the community and the valued green space of Perivale Park.
