Comments Received from Brockwell Park Community Partners Stakeholder Groups Comments received from Brockwell Park Community Partners stakeholder groups Brockwell Lido Steering Committee Dear Brockwell Community Partners, I am writing in my capacity as Chair of the Brockwell Lido Steering Committee (BLSC) to formally express our objection to the Field Day and LoveBox events proposed for Brockwell Park. The BLSC believes the number of participants and the footprint far exceeds a scale appropriate for a closed event for Brockwell Park and would be highly detrimental to the enjoyment of the park by the general public and local residents. We also think it would be detrimental to users of the Lido who would be impacted by the noise, and would be likely to find access very difficult due to crowds and entrances being closed off. During the summer the whole of the park is well used by the general public who visit to picnic, relax and play games with friends and family. These events would either force people to stay away or cram into a small section of the park for the whole of July. Access to the playground, wet play area, and ponds would be made more difficult and unpleasant for families as they have to navigate moving vehicles and have a permanent view of 7 foot high fences to enjoy. Most of the grassed area of the park that will be free from the fencing is also unsuitable for playing or picnicking on because it is un-cut and therefore scratchy and unpleasant, especially for young children. The noise pollution from events is likely to be very bad, this might possibly be overlooked by residents if they finished early (Sunfall finished at 10pm) and be a single night, but the proposal states that events will take place on three consecutive nights and that the nights will finish at 11pm. Even after the music stops this will mean people spilling out and being a noise nuisance in local roads well after 11.30pm. Brockwell Park is 60% the size of Victoria Park. Brockwell Park is also surrounded houses, whereas Victoria Park is surrounded by trees and busy roads. The committee recognises the financial difficulties of funding parks but these events are inappropriate given the location and use of Brockwell Park. Sunfall was a reasonably successful event when it catered to 10,000 people in 2016. In 2017 they increased the numbers to 20,000 and had serious issues with queues and damage to the park infrastructure as well as litter in the surrounding areas. Field Day propose a capacity of up to 40,000 - it is inevitable that these events will cause more serious issues than Sunfall. We ask that the BPCPs and Lambeth reject both applications and only consider future applications that are much smaller in size, scale and potential disruption. Any future events should also require a much higher payment to Lambeth - 50p per person should be viewed as an insult. Yours sincerely Bianca Ioannides Chair - BLSC Brockwell Miniature Railway From: Jrobe87821 > (Brockwell Miniature Railway) Date: 22 November 2017 at 19:04:32 GMT Subject: RE: The Two proposed Festivals I am extremely concerned that again it looks very likely that the railway could fall victim to vandalism with these two major events taking place. Also not happy at all that we may lose the summer operating season in which the railway relies on the customers for the generation of funds to cover our public liability insurance. At the same with no movement on the container it looks as if next year we’ll be closed for most of the busy season. It's bad enough that the country show actively discourages us from operating. Yours John St Matthew’s Project From: Lee Dema > ) Date: 22 November 2017 at 18:48:12 GMT Subject: Re: The Two proposed Festivals The two bids are just cut and paste jobs. To have the Love Box event the weekend before the Country Show is not viable and just shows contempt for regular park users. The two events allude to being of a similar size to the Country Show, so imagine anyone suggesting a few years ago hosting 3 Country Shows. Regards Lee Brockwell Bowlers I am appalled to hear that 2 three day events are to be held in the Park. I write as a) A park lover... these events inevitably lead to churning up of the grass and damage and litter and the park out of use to for quiet recreational activities. b) A local resident, NOISE!! Congestion!! Removal of parking from Water Lane. c) Chair of the bowls group. That would be 2 more weekends when bowling is disrupted Heather Bouchier Hayes The comments below were received by Brockwell Park Community Partners following a mailing of the Pro-Formas for both Lovebox and Field Day. 1. On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 3:29 PM, louise fincham > wrote I write to object in the strongest terms to the proposal to hold these two festivals in Brockwell Park in the summer of 2018. As a daily user of the park I am fed up with the increasing amount of time that large sections of the park are fenced off for large events. Brockwell Park is a local amenity, it was founded as a space for the people of Herne Hill and their dogs, it is entirely unsuited to large events. I resent the loss of the park as an amenity. Many local residents do not have a garden and Brockwell Park is a place for them to go and enjoy some fresh air and peace and quiet. The park becomes virtually unusable in the lead up, during and after events with anti-social behaviour, litter and noise all affecting local residents. The local transport system is put under strain and even local businesses which might gain from the increased number of people coming to the area appear not to support the plan. The previous venue (Victoria Park) for the Field Day festival is a much larger park. Please leave Brockwell Park alone for us local residents to support and enjoy. Please keep me up to date with developments. Louise Fincham 2. On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 10:47 AM, Noelle Egan > wrote: We live in , very close to Brockwell Park which we use on a daily basis. We went to a meeting on Monday called by the promoter of the Field Day Festival ( as a residents' consultation) who confirmed that it has applied to hold the festival in Brockwell Park, over 3 days in June 2018, with 40,000 people attending per day, taking over a third of the park for 3 weeks (20th May to 10th June to include set up and de-commissioning) with walled fences. We understand that Lovebox/Citadel festivals have also submitted an application for an even bigger event July 2018, a week before the Lambeth Country Show. Both have sought to find a new location, having been pushed out of Victoria Park where they have been for many years. There was a strong level of concern voiced by all those present and indeed shock at the scale of proposals for this and other events. Field Day has a fine reputation as a festival (can’t say the same for Lovebox alas), and we are all aware of the financial pressures on Councils. We don’t object to events in principle, but have these four issues relating to Field Day/Lovebox. 1. The scale of these events as proposed is unsustainable. Victoria Park is 70% larger than Brockwell Park and it struggled to manage the pressure of numbers, noise, nuisance, congestion and other impacts on residents that 40,00 people a day brings. Half the proposed size and a much tighter set of requirements for building and de-commissioning timescales for the event might be manageable, but this scale will totally disable normal life in the area for excessive periods. 2. Allied with other proposed events including the locally focussed and very popular Country Show, these further events will virtually exclude locals enjoying the park for significant and unacceptable periods of the summer months - this is simply wrong. 3. The proposed footprints takes up far too much of the area of the park. The space permitted should be limited to a smaller area. 4. The financial recompense is entirely insufficient to allow the benefits to outweigh the adverse implications for the park and residents’ detriment, and an insufficient proportion of the parks levy is directly invested in the park. More income from fewer events should be the strategic model to be pursued on events, using Brockwell Hall more and so on, rather than all these massive events. I ask that you please use your influence to ensure that the Council challenges or rejects these proposals, and/or seeks to get much better outcomes, including a reduction in scale and greater mitigation of impacts than currently proposed. Noelle Egan 3. I have heard recent news that there is the possibility of field day & LoveBox moving to Brockwell park in 2018. I wanted to email to raise my concerns about this on a number of levels: 1.Community – you estimate 90,000 people will travel to the event over the weekend. Based on previous events that only ran for 1 night this will have a detrimental impact on the community and its inhabitants. How will you manage transport, litter, drug usage, drinking in the streets and the repercussions this might have on peoples neighbourhoods and homes? What about residents who wish/need to use local facilities and won’t be able to for three whole days? 2.

  • The Park Keeper
    The Park Keeper 1 ‘Most of us remember the park keeper of the past. More often than not a man, uniformed, close to retirement age, and – in the mind’s eye at least – carrying a pointed stick for collecting litter.

Everyone is welcome to the park, to discover its history, wildlife, trees and plants, to exercise and play. Myatt’s Fields Park should be an urban park of the highest quality which preserves its historic character while providing a safe, peaceful and varied environment for relaxation and recreation, and enhancing the wellbeing of all sections of the community Welcome to Myatt’s Fields Park” 2 Myatt’s Fields Park Management Plan 2016 - 2021 Foreword In Lambeth we have over 60 parks, commons, cemeteries and other open spaces, which enrich all of our lives and make Lambeth a better place to live, visit, and work. From major and local events, casual and competitive sports, reflection and contemplation, through to outdoor play spaces for children, we know that parks and open spaces are necessities in the modern world. Lambeth’s open spaces have experienced a renaissance in recent years, and we have seen our many active parks groups rise to become champions for green spaces, including exploring new models in how to manage and maintain them. We now have 16 Green Flag Award winning parks and cemeteries, the highest number we’ve ever had, and the latest Residents Survey revealed 76% of local people judged Lambeth’s parks and open spaces to be good or excellent.

  • Page 1/4 Hello, I Would Like to Object to the Proposed Festivals In
    Hello, I would like to object to the proposed festivals in Brockwell Park, and in particular, field day, mighty hoopla and other day of festivals. I am concerned about the loss of amenity to enjoy my home that these festivals will bring, nuisance to myself, my family and the local area, damage to the park, and further degradations to air quality. According to the Lambeth Open Space Strategy Addenda (prepared by URS Consultants, 2013), linked below, Brockwell Park is designated as a major park, a 70-80 quality score (the highest standard), the least vandalism, but is in one of the most deprived areas (lowest score, 0-20 percent bracket). It is a much loved, and much needed community asset. The key issues are: • Loss of over a third of the park for at least 6 weeks (from Field day and Lovebox combined), causing loss of a valuable resource for health and wellbeing, mental health, play/learning activities for children, and meeting of the local community. • Degradation of air quality in London's second most polluted borough, from diesel generators required to power the festival, cooking for attendees, and transport of 45,000 people per day. • Damage to the park from both ticket holders (particularly if it is a muddy day), HGVs loading stages and equipment, rubbish, and vandalism, (cf broken benches, and damage to model railway at Sunfall). • Nuisance varying from noise at levels known to cause disturbance (cf Code of Practice on Environmental Noise Control at Concerts), urination in local’s gardens and green space, public drug use (cf N02 debris from Sunfall) • Changes to noise levels in the parks were not properly consulted, and most residents are unaware of the change.

  • The Ecology of Mitcham Common 1984 Report

Morris BSc. FRES Participating authors: R.D. Dunn BSc. A.M. Harvey BSc. J.A. Hollier BSc. ARCS. FRES. C.M. Johnstone Cert. Ecol. Cons. A.D. Sclater BSc. FRES. C. Wilson BSc. Funded by: The Manpower Services Commission Administered by: Merton Community Programme Agency Sponsored by: The Mitcham Common Conservators and the London Borough of Merton Department of Recreation and Arts Report completed and submitted: September 1984. Crown Copyright. Cover photograph: Seven Islands Pond from Mill Hill, September 1974 (Photo Dr P.G. Morris) iv 2016 version This report was produced by a team of recent graduates, employed under the 'Community Programme' and funded by the Manpower Services Commission. The objectives of the Programme were to provide the long-term unemployed with opportunities to train or re- train, so that they might get more permanent work. This Programme funded a considerable number of environmental jobs, and provided the stepping stone for many ecologists to move into mainstream jobs. I have lost contact with most of the team members of this project, but am aware that at least one (apart from me) went onto a successful career in an ecological discipline. Looking back to the year of 1983-84, it is difficult to appreciate the achievement of the team. We commenced work in September 1983 and were due to report in late August 1984. The timing was unfortunate because we were unable to make best use of the year, with the winter occupying most of the project.

  • Streetscape Is About Growing Lives
    Streetscape is about growing lives Streetscape is an award-winning social enterprise. We provide apprenticeships in landscape gardening to 18-25 year olds who are long- term unemployed, helping them to build the skills, experience and attributes they need to move into and retain work: growing lives, transforming landscapes. In so doing we design, landscape and maintain gardens across South London for clients looking for that ‘wow factor’: the best possible use of shape and form. We are based in Myatt’s Fields Park, LB Lambeth. Our social value in 2012-13: Apprenticeships All of our apprentices are young people who have been out of work for a minimum of six months. However, most have never worked and many have been previously in trouble with the law. During a year’s intensive training, apprenticed 2:1 to one of our experienced landscapers, our apprentices obtain a Level 2 Diploma in Horticulture, a year’s on-the-job experience in both soft and hard landscaping, at least one horticultural licence and they learn to drive. As a result, they leave us work-ready. In 2012-13: - Jerone (23) and Jordan (22), our first apprentices who completed their apprenticeships in July 2012, remain in work (August 2013) with Pinnacle PSG and Mears respectively. Neither had worked before Streetscape; one had previous convictions. - We expanded in July 2012 and now work with four apprentices at any one time. Alan and David graduated in July 2013 with their Level 2 Diplomas and are now in work (August 2013) with Pinnacle PSG and Vista Landscapes respectively.
