It's the Cator Park ecocide. More #Penge than #Beckenham unless you are a estate agent or Lower #Sydenham (south) if you curate this account.

Follow #catorpark or #ecocide if you need a recap of the story.

The Telegraph reports on Cator Park:

The land – which is also a haven for wildlife including woodpeckers, owls, kingfishers, egrets, slow worms and stag beetles – is privately owned and was purchased by its current owners, registered to a firm based in Singapore, for £10,000 in 2013.

But it is also designated as Metropolitan Open Land by Bromley Council, giving it the same status as “green belt” land.

The #BBC & #ITN were today filming the site of the Cator Park Ecocide where 100 trees with a tree preservation order well felled illegally over the weekend. Hopefully it will be on the #London news tonight.

It wasn't a pretty site and the protesters who had tried to stop the felling had, by reports, been treated roughly. Reports are limited to avoid prejudicing likely legal proceedings.
