The latest
application by Keay Homes, to retain the fascia of the Long Island Hotel
AND STILL BUILD FLATS, is being heard at the Planning meeting at Three
Rivers next Thursday 17th July - 7.30pm at Three Rivers House.
Having done a bit of digging we find out that Keay Homes are
so sure of the fact that they will get this permission, they have set up
a limited company: Keay Homes (Long Island Exchange) Ltd – their
profit (and Greene King’s too) at the expense of our community. NONE OF
THIS PROFIT WILL REMAIN IN THIS COMMUNITY.
The biggest show we
can give that the community is totally against the removal of our hotel,
is to turn up in large numbers. This site should NEVER HAVE BEEN ZONED
FOR RESIDENTIAL – and having spoken to Greene King, we were told they
were ‘pointed in the direction of residential development’.
We
know that the hotel is 100% full 100% of the time, and that another
hotel chain is very keen to open a hotel in Rickmansworth This site is
PERFECT for an hotel - hence the reason it has been there for 125
years....and it is full.... and it is used by the community!
Please,
please, please come along if you can and share to all those that you
think would be interested in helping to save Rickmansworth's diverse
commercial heritage.
Help SAVE LONG ISLAND hotel - Rickmansworth's only hotel is in threat of being demolished to be replaced with 65 flats & yellow bricked townhouses. Help save this historic building (been in existence since prior to 1888) and valuable hotel for our community.
