Help stop Lambeth's land grab in Brockwell Park
While the Lottery is spending to restore the Park, Lambeth Council plans to partly destroy it with a new road.
The scheme can only go ahead if the Mayor of London funds it. We ask him not to authorise funds
until alternatives have been considered and there is proper consultation.Although Lambeth pushed the scheme through at a farcical Planning meeting, there now has to be Ministerial consent after a 28 day public consultation. (Naturally Lambeth didn't tell anyone about it - there are three tiny notices at the Herne Hill Gates.)
We have set up a fighting fund and welcome comments and offers of help. Please contact savethepark@brockwellpark.com Send donations to the FoBP Treasurer, 89 Delawyk Crescent London SE24 9JD
The Brockwell Hall Park Estate was created and landscaped in 1811. Many
of its original features can still be seen today. It was purchased for the
people of Lambeth & Southwark and opened as a public park in 1892 by
Lord Rosebery

whatever happens, this is preserved to you and your descendants for ever as an open space.
The 20th century saw changes and developments but past eras have retained their identity. This contributes to Brockwell Park's unique character.
