Mighty Hoopla, Cross The Tracks, Wide Awake & City Splash festivals, Brockwell Park - discussion

Cue the same people that opposed a proper football pitch being built in the park suddenly caring about the quality of the existing 20% sloping ones.

They are going to resubmit for permission I thought. Was a very NIMBY response to that from people that want the park to be a nature reserve.

The park is pretty fucked now. It needs a couple of years off from the organised events. They can come back once it’s recovered. You can’t expect it to bounce back every year.

Get real! St Mathew's Project is a charity that uses the park for weekend/ school holidays football activities for loads of local kids. Was it the awful astro turf pitch next to the Lido they objected to? Where as they would much rather play on grass area of the park no mater what ever 'exciting slope' is present.

Thanks but I do know who they are. I believe they supported the “awful astro turf pitch”.

Dry yer eyes mate. Grass thankfully heals, there is plenty of it, luckily.

This new group has some unhinged Twitter supporters.

They probably don't know what to do with themselves for the remaining 9 months of the year now the horrific music events have ended. Heaven forbid if that Christmas thing that was on Clapham Common was still going. No fun allowed here thanks

It feels like a fake news story should be created. Gigantic wheel in the park or brockwell to host formula e race.

Was thinking similar, maybe cause a bit of mischief on twitter by spreading rumours of a program of winter music festivals or a big new years eve rave in Brockwell Park

That's a fake BBC site on World Grey News - a fake news creator - "use it to create your own joke news articles. Add your pictures, write headlines and text, share with friends."

Read that a while back.

Did not post here as seems mainly that friends groups are seen as NIMBYS or anti Council loons.

Looking at this again and similar arguments. The journalist here ( on the left a regular on novara media. Good on the news programmes Novara do imo) is more sympathetic to the argument that this is creeping privatisation of public space.

Mental health advert for the NHS. I was there when they were just setting up and being the nosy bugger I am, I asked what they were filming

Here are the minutes for the de-brief meeting for Brockwell Live. We got them via an FoI. Not a lot to see tbh, mainly redacted. May be of interest to some.

how does that work that you can get it released but they can just blank out half of it? seems to defeat the point.

That’s the point.

the alternative would be that every public body could refuse to release any document at all because of one line that's confidential.

I like how the Police found that 'Intoxication levels acceptable', i wonder how that was judged

They looked at the price of a pint and thought no one could afford to get really pissed.

How ridiculous. It's not exactly counter-terrorism, is it.
