Dear Charleen, I will answer this if you do not mind. Money is the answer, for they could use Blackheath common which is at the top of the Park. But that does not have the Prestige of a Royal Park!
I love Horses as you know, but the people involved love money, not Horses, trees or anything else, apart from money. They do not live here, they live in Surrey , Berkshire or Hampshire not around here.
Someone has to pay for their big houses and their children's education, so they take it out on us and a Park that has been there since 1433!
The Queen has no say on this matter, as she must always be non political at all times. The politicians and the lawyers are making money out of a two week event.
So instead of getting a crane to lift things over the top of the 400+ year old trees, it is cheaper to cut them down and throw them away!
Thousands of people have signed the petitions to stop this, but we cannot fight against money, the most evil force in the world.
Don't forget someone once said that "Lawyers are someone who fight for your estate, and when they win, they keep it for themselves." That is very true.
We have loads of countryside they could use, but due to the TV and yet again the money involved why use that, when the Olympic Park is just across the River from Greenwich.
As for the sign. When I did the original Garden it was around the corner, which is now a massive hole being filled full of cement! So they attempted to move it but were stopped as they needed the space to bring trucks, cement lorries in etc. So only a bit was moved and the original plaque, was too big to put on a stand for the little bit that is now left. So they had a new smaller one made on a stand, but no one put my name on it, as I had left Greenwich years before. I am glad my name is not on it, as I think it is disgusting what they are doing, no it is a National Disgrace.
The people who are doing this should have their bank accounts stripped, then taken down the Royal steps. From there to the Tower of London and to execution, that is how strongly we feel about this!
See Part 2 Charleen when I put it on.
Kindest Regards.
Neil & Sarah.
p.s. Give Charley a hug from me!
