If you’re wondering what Friends of Brockwell Park are up to right now, here are some of the things we discussed at our last meeting. Please join in the discussion by posting your comments below:
1. Noshir Patel (Secretary) and Laura Morland (FOBP Parks Liaison) attended the Lambeth Parks Forum meeting at the Town Hall on November 13, which discussed the shape of the Council’s future events policy. We have many questions arising from the above, particularly Lambeth’s favouring the option of the existing policy with a few tweaks.
2. We will hold an extraordinary Committee Meeting on December 4 in order to formulate a response for presentation to the Lambeth Parks Events Strategy consultation, beginning in January 2019. This response will incorporate both FOBP’s questions arising from the presentations at the November 13 meeting, and FOBP’s views on future events in Brockwell Park.
3. We expressed our strong opposition to the Council’s intention to allow commercial hoardings within Brockwell Park, as being a commercial intrusion in a precious public space that most people desire should be free of such things.
4. The ruined tarmac on the path between Brockwell Hall and the meadow to the North has still not been repaired. This is part of the still-unrestored damage caused by ‘FieldDay/Mighty Hoopla’ in June this year.
