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.
