WE ASK EVERYONE TO ATTEND THE DEMONSTRATION AND MEETING AT WANDSWORTH TOWN HALL ( NEAR THE ARNDALE CENTRE) ON WEDNESDAY THE 14TH OF MAY. TO ARRIVE AT AROUND 6.00.PM DO NOT ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO IGNORE THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS, EMAILED AND WRITTEN TO THEM REGARDING THE CLOSURE.
THE COUNCIL ARE MOVING BLINDLY INTO THIS DECISION BY THE MOTIVATION OF MONEY. SOMETIMES THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT.
THE ZOO PROVIDES AN OUTLET THAT IS AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSABLE TO ALL RESIDENTS OF THE BOROUGH AND ALSO OF THE REST OF LONDON. THE PROPOSED NEW ATTRACTION WILL PRICE OUT MANY GROUPS AND ALIENATE YET ANOTHER SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY. THE POLICY OF THE GENTRIFICATION OF BATTERSEA PARK AND MANY PARTS OF WANDSWORTH PROVIDE PROOF THAT WANDSWORTH COUNCIL HAVE BECOME AN ELETEST BODY AND INTERESTED IN SELF PRESERVATION AT ALL COSTS, ESPECIALLY AT THOSE OF WANDSWORTHS CHILDREN.
