  • The Park Keeper

    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. It is almost impossible to find such an individual ...over the last twenty years or so, these individuals have disappeared from our parks and in many circumstances their role has not been replaced.’ [Nick Burton1] CONTENTS training as key factors in any parks rebirth.

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.

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.

    Parks, People and Nature

    Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, iithe wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. Parks, People and Nature A guide to enhancing natural habitats in London’s parks and green spaces in a changing climate Introduction My vision for London is of a green city, and a fair city, where everyone has access to a high quality green space in which wildlife can be encountered close to where they live and work. London has some of the Ýnest parks of any capital city in the world. Yet it also has some areas lacking in green space, and many more where the quality of the green spaces could be better. This booklet provides a valuable practical guide on how to improve access to nature in parks and green spaces, complimenting my London Plan Implementation Report on Improving LondonersÔ access to nature. Appropriate design and management of our parks and green spaces will be one of the key challenges that will enable the City to adapt to climate change. Park managers need to be working now to plant the trees that will provide shade for a much warmer city in the 2080s. We also need to start thinking now how our parks can help in addressing broader environmental challenges such as Þood risk management.

    ® MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS GROUP Half Year Review to June 2009 MERLIN ENTERTAINMENTS GROUP Half Year Results to June 2009 Following the publication in April of our Annual Review for the year to December 2008, I am pleased to provide a half-yearly update on the performance of the Merlin Entertainments Group for the six month period to June 2009 Strategy Update In spite of the challenges of worldwide recession, swine flu and unpredictable weather conditions, we at Merlin have remained focused on our core strategy as outlined in our Annual Review and have continued to make progress in all areas. Organic growth – At the half way point I am pleased with the progress the Group has made in terms of the volume of visitors we have welcomed to our attractions, along with the revenue and profit growth this has generated across all three of our Operating Groups. Roll out of existing brands – We have continued to progress with the roll out programme of existing brands, with the opening of our newest SEA LIFE Centre in Porto, Portugal, taking us into our 13th country of operation. Since the half-year, we have also opened our new flagship Madame Tussauds Hollywood attraction on Hollywood Boulevard. Both these new attractions opened their doors to high visitor acclaim. We have also made progress on the pipeline of new sites for 2010, including the recently announced SEA LIFE attraction in Phoenix Arizona, and our fourth LEGOLAND Discovery Centre in Manchester adjacent to the Trafford Centre, our 22nd location in the UK. Destination positioning – In April we opened a SEA LIFE centre at Alton Towers and the Castle Dungeon within Warwick Castle, our first new Dungeon offering since Amsterdam opened in 2005.
