Occupy Firgrove: Picnic on the green

Occupy Firgrove picnic

Firgrove Green is now being used for various activities. People meeting up of an evening or druring the day, a cool place to meet during the recent spell of hot weather, office workers having their lunch.

Today it was a picnic, a celebration of a graduation.

But greedy developers Bride Hall, aided and abetted by the Rotten Borough of Rushmoor (as it is known locally), want to destroy the green and its trees, the only green space in Farnborough town centre, for an ugly 80-bedroom Premier Inn hotel.

According to Rotten Borough of Rushmoor chief executive Andrew Lloyd, the site looks tired and in need of development. Not a view shared by local residents and those who use the green.
