I WAS disgusted to learn that the Chandlers are selling the Walthamstow track for housing purposes.

The only people happy about this will be the religious groups who are against drinking and gambling.

The way things are going all there will be is housing and nowhere to go for the night. It won’t only be bored teenagers hanging around on corners but adults as well.

And another word of warning to the residents around the track who are glad it is closing.

Most of the housing being built around here is being purchased by councils like Haringey and Islington so they can ship out their problem families.

The Chandlers’ father and grandfather would be turning in their graves at what their siblings are doing to that track.
