伦敦市公司将于12月8日宣布五个Hampstead Heath咖啡馆租约的赢家, The City of London Corporation will announce winners of five Hampstead Heath cafe leases on December 8, despite a campaign by MP Tulip Siddiq and over 20,000 people urging retention of current operators. 该决定是在公开招标程序之后作出的,公开招标程序因缺乏社区参与而受到批评,现有咖啡馆的支持者称其为透明度测试。 The decision follows a public tender process criticized for lacking community engagement, with supporters of existing cafes calling it a test of transparency. Hampstead Heath协商委员会将于11月17日对优先投标人进行审查。 The Hampstead Heath consultative committee will review preferred bidders on November 17. 该公司说,这一进程确保经营者的长期安全和投资,而竞选者则发誓继续推动问责制。 The corporation says the process ensures long-term security and investment for operators, while campaigners vow to continue pushing for accountability.
