A LANDOWNER has agreed to meet campaigning residents to discuss the future of a disused sports ground.
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) wants a meeting with campaigners fighting to save the GAA sports ground in Avery Hill Road, New Eltham.
The ground has been left derelict for the past 12 years with the GAA hoping to build housing on the site.
But residents formed an action group, RAGED (Residents Against Gaelic Environmental Destruction), demanding the space be retained for sporting use.
Last month Greenwich Council rejected plans to allow housing on the land.
Now the GAA has agreed to meet with campaigners.
RAGED chairman Malcolm Bond said: "GAA has ignored previous requests to speak. I don't know why it is keen now."
Chairman of the GAA Larry O'Leary says he wants to "discuss how to progress the matter".
