Not really sure this is relevant to the latest application since it wasn't a paid event and not fenced off.

It's the thin end of the wedge of commercialisation.

Not really sure this is relevant to the latest application since it wasn't a paid event and not fenced off.

Although it wasn't paid entry, it was a proposal that was designed to make money (by using public space as a venue for a commercial food and drink operation) and which was considered by Lambeth Parks because it would provide funding for them.

The principle is the same: it's giving over public space in exchange for funding.

This already happens in Ruskin Park with the trapeze school. That doesn't bother me personally because I quite like watching it and the space it takes up isn't one that I use. However, if I was someone who might otherwise use that sports area for something else, I'd not be happy with it and for that reason I'd oppose the Trapeze school being there, in principle.

Hi

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Ruskin Park Summer Fete on 17th June. More details now available at www.friendsofruskinpark.org.uk/summerfete

Also, we've just launched a fundraising campaign for our gardening activities in the park. Aviva Community Fund are currently matching donations £2 for every £1 donated, up to £250 per donor. We know things are tight at the moment, but we appreciate any donations. Our gardening activities are really fun - they obviously help the park but also bring people together and we learn a lot. Everyone welcome to come along. Donations at www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/ruskinpark

Thanks

Chris
Friends of Ruskin Park

I used to live near here. Only went into the park a couple of times, round about 2004/5 I guess.
