PLAYING FIELDS
SHORTAGE IN LONDON.
(British Official Wireless.)
(Rcj. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, January 23. The London County Council is to consider applications from County Councils for contributions towards the reservation of a green belt of open spaces round London. The offer would remain open for three years and the council’s commitment in that period, be limited to £2,000,000. Grants are being made only for the acquisition of land.
The urgency of reserving open spaces suitable for playing fields is shown by the rapid reduction in recent years in the area of available and suitable land by its acquisition for building purposes.
