Friends of Brockwell Park FOBP are long-standing advocates of community events in the park. That said, given the extensive damage to the park in recent years, from commercial events delivered by Brockwell Live, we believe the current Lambeth Country Show format and timing needs review.
We would support a less commercial, more ecologically sustainable and unfenced show, with greater local input, as there used to be.
The deadline for objections to the Planning Permit for this years’ show was April 4th but if sent at least two weeks before a decision is made (probably in May) they will likely be accepted. Key planning points for consideration:
– Loss of access to the park
– Ecological impact
– Heritage impact
– Noise
