The directors of Mansfield Bowling Club in Croftdown Road are planning to sell their outside lawn to a developer to build nine luxury houses. The club says it can’t afford to maintain the outside bowling green and that with the proceeds of the sale they could properly refurbish the inside bowling green and the associated leisure facilities.
Highgate Green Party councillor Maya de Souza has objected to the plan. She said: “I’m very keen to see the open space protected, but if the bowling green really can’t be made to work, then surely there are better things to do with this site. For example, what we really need is affordable housing not more luxury units.”But what do you think? Should the club be allowed to sell the bowling green to a developer of luxury houses? What would be your preferred solution?
