Council endorses the concerns of Friends of Brockwell Park about the proposal to appropriate 1,000sq metres of the Park to enable the creation of a large traffic island at Herne Hill.   Council does not accept that the loss of so much “Metropolitan Open Land” is necessary to deal with the traffic logjam at the Norwood Road/Dulwich Road junction.   Furthermore Council notes that the Friends of Brockwell Park have consistently accepted the principle of shaving a small piece of land from the Park to enable easier traffic flows.   Council therefore calls for a halt to work on the present proposals and to work with the Friends and all the other stakeholders on an alternative scheme to deal with the traffic flow issues that minimises lost parkland.
