I find it astonishing that the Salesians would consider selling the land to the highest bidder over ensuring that the playing fields are kept for recreational purposes. The Salesians are supposed to be carers, educationalists and providers for young people. Advocating physical exercise is imperative to leading healthly lifestyles and advocating meaningful engagement in communities is imperative to leading fulfilled lives. Even if the playing fields are redundant to the Salesian College, surely arrangements can be made for a local school/eduaction authority to purchase the land for use? This would also allow opportunity for the schools and well established sports clubs that currently use the facility to negotiate continued use of them. Utterly scandalous!
