Amended application for Elim Church hours of use at Merton Hall. How on earth is any of that enforceable on what’ll become private property? @nicscho @GrumpyoldGould @wehraplanning @NaomiSW19 @SouthWimbledon @HannaPianosUK @Mari_Deee82 @harryhpalmer @lucykane @wimbledonfriend

@hackbridgestink @Merton_Council @SaHreports @SaveMertonHall @HaydonsNorth @Therapyangel1 @WatkinsonGary @suttonemma1 @suttbee @WimbledonNews @SW19Stadium @EvesBakeOff It does in Merton. No cap on public spending on Elim. 1898 Merton Hall “swapped” w/out any covenants after Council valued it at £600k& church (pix) at £4mln. Council paid £3mln contract to demolish it to “refit” for Elim. Council paid £10.1 mln to buy 2 toxic air sites for school

@hackbridgestink @Merton_Council @SaHreports @SaveMertonHall @HaydonsNorth @Therapyangel1 @WatkinsonGary @suttonemma1 @suttbee @WimbledonNews @SW19Stadium @EvesBakeOff And now new agreement for almost 55k over 8 weeks to get them to move out of site to build this toxic air school. Sure, let’s speed up asthma induced education on kids. You couldn’t make it up if you tried!

@harryhpalmer @Merton_Council @SaHreports @SaveMertonHall @HaydonsNorth @Therapyangel1 @WatkinsonGary @suttonemma1 @suttbee @WimbledonNews @SW19Stadium @EvesBakeOff £3mln price tag for contract to demolish and rebuild John Innes’ Merton Hall, contract handed over without covenants, Creche removed from Plough Lane w/out justification or evidence IN SPITE OF Merton report saying there is need for childcare in Wimbledon Park, no clawback.

@harryhpalmer @Merton_Council @SaHreports @SaveMertonHall @HaydonsNorth @Therapyangel1 @WatkinsonGary @suttonemma1 @suttbee @WimbledonNews @SW19Stadium @EvesBakeOff You have to question Merton’s spending&associated comments that it is strapped for cash; £630,000 to keep North Road Battle Close shut, £55k to keep Elim happy over 8 wks, £10.1mln for warehouses that cost a fraction but managed to put “housing” on it to up price for school

[Mark Gale @MarkGale]

Yes, and in Merton our council are trying to apply that to secondary schools too.

Evidence ignored to push through a decision that already had been made, and had many other disastrous consequences. @SaveMertonHall @HAWimbledon

Good morning Merton! Another lovely view from my window this morning to cheer & brighten up the beginning of yet another week living behind a building site being paid for by Merton tax payers (ME!) against our wishes!

Now they say they had always intended to add it.

Merton Hall, South Wimbledon #10yearchallenge and the problems are not stopping anytime soon! @SaveMertonHall

I already have a painful stress related condition induced when all this disrespectful thoughtless behaviour from @Merton_Council began & this latest potential blow has induced another episode! This bullying greedy Council is unfit for purpose!

[Elaine Chambers @Therapyangel1]

Not enough that Elim get £4m tax payers money & take our lovely old fully inclusive Merton Hall they now want to take our peace & quiet after 11pm & longer saying their goodnights very loudly as they always have done! It Will be Hell!! 😰🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

[Wimbledon Times @WimbledonNews]

‘It is a slap in the face’ - Elim Church wants to extend opening hours before it has even moved in https://t.co/GiePqeEiWw

[Save Wimbledon Town @SaveWimbledon]

Someone calls it “sour grapes” by “very few locals.” It cost Labour a seat in Abbey in May, almost 2seats (10 votes difference only). If this antagonism continues, there will be a similar political price in 2022.

[Nigel Benbow 🇬🇧 @nigelbenbow]

Is Elim Church ‘pushing their luck’ to extend their daily opening hours until 11pm at Merton Hall? This is totally unacceptable and will cause more unnecessary noise disturbance in our quiet, heavily residential area.
This application must be refused.

[MertonIssues @MertonIssues]

Totally unacceptable for residents in the area

Application must be refused, absolutely

Its #ourmerton, its not just for the few

It seems wrong, retrospectively to cancel the only real condition that will help residents who have no choice but to live behind a busy church. If doors are left open, as they are currently, it will be v noisy

[Save Wimbledon Town @SaveWimbledon]

WHY is @ElimWimbledon causing Extra trouble to resis by applying 4 church hours at Merton Hall to be extended to 11 pm Mon-Sun?Planning condition restricting hours to 10 pm are there for a reason 19/P0205 @MertonMatters @harryhpalmer @HaydonsNorth @YourTotalEvent @Mike145848554
