  • 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
    THE ECOLOGY OF MITCHAM COMMON THE(A ECOLOGY report on the statusOF MITCHAM of the flora and COMMON fauna) The final report of the "Ecological Survey of Mitcham Common" Supervised by: R.K.A. 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.

  • Lambeth Cooperative Park Management Proposals Information
    Lambeth Cooperative Park Management Proposals Information Booklet 1 Foreword Lambeth has 60 wonderful parks and green spaces which for many without private gardens, provide a haven that contributes to people’s enjoyment of living, working, and visiting Lambeth. This is shown with the number of weddings, picnics, and range of outdoor events held throughout the year. The different co mmunities coming together to play sports, enjoy a spot of gardening, or relax. We can see that their natural environment and surroundings can act as rehabilitative safe havens for people to escape from the hustle and bustle of inner city living and feel a part of nature. However we also know that we are living in a changing environment. One in which we must find £178million of savings by 2016, representing 45% of the Council’s controllable budget. One where public services should aim to grow and achieve more for the wider community. And although challenging, instead of accepting that we should do less with what we have available; we want to take this opportunity to be more inventive and reinvigorate our parks service. We have a great foundation already looking at our many active and enthusiastic park users, friends, and community groups, and the first step for us is to find out from them what is important in your parks service. History shows us how community involvement in park management and services can be hugely successful and the sense of local ownership and pride it can engender and we seek to support this work. Together, we could build upon the progress and achievements made through the years of Lottery Investment, Green Flag Awards, and new gardening projects and begin to shape, design, and deliver a more ambitious vision for our park services that gives you more control and say.

  • Name Our Lanes ………………….…………………………………
    Name Our Lanes Winning names ………………….………………………………… CS7 Maurice Burton Way (proposed by Jack): South London has some claim to being cycling's spiritual home in Britain. The Herne Hill Velodrome hosted the 1948 Olympic Games, and for many years before 2012 was home to the only purpose-built road track in the capital. South London also has a richly diverse heritage. Maurice Burton was Britain's first black male cycling champion. He got his first bike after knocking on a neighbour's door and fixing up a bashed-up runaround in his garden. He raced at Herne Hill as a schoolboy. Although he missed out on the 1976 Olympic team, his success as a young mixed-race kid from Catford was an important milestone for cycling as a sport. In recent interviews, he has said that his career might have been limited by prejudice. Including his name on the route and emphasising his achievements might start to counter that prejudice and encourage more inclusive participation in cycling - from commuting to sprint racing - in the capital. CS2 Beryl Burton Way (proposed by Nicki): Beryl Burton is a British cycling legend who missed out on competing at the Olympics because women's cycling wasn't admitted until 1984, when she was 47 years old. I think she would love it if the path to the Olympic stadium in Stratford was named in her honour, paving the way for female cyclists who have come after her! C6 Reynolds Route (proposed by Eanna): September 1893: Sixteen year old Tessie Reynolds from Brighton rode a bicycle to London's Hyde Park and back in a little over eight and a half hours, setting a new record for the distance.
