ATKINSON MORLEY
The Atkinson Morley Task Force comprises leading members of The Wimbledon Society
and local Resident Associations who are concerned at the fate of some 17 acres
of open land and playing fields (classified as Metropolitan Open Land) which surround
the present Atkinson Morley Hospital and are owned by the St George's Health Trust.
The AMH moves in 2002 to St George's in Tooting and there is a high level of local
concern of the extent of development which might follow that move. The Task Force
brings together the NHS Trust, would be developers, the local authority and other
interested parties to provide an ongoing debate at the highest possible level
to resolve the issues and allay public concern. Kingston University Department of Landscape Architecture, Media and Communication, and Urban and Landscape Studies have been assisting stake holders in exploring the issues of the site.
Monday 17 March, 2003. Public exhibition and meeting
8.00-9.30 pm. King's College School, Dining Hall. Speakers include Tony Drakeford and Richard Millward on the natural and historic aspects of the site, Ged Lawrenson and Chris Mountford from LB Merton, and students from University of Kindston Landscape, Media, and Urban studies units displaying their work with the community in finding futures for the site.
