On April 9, the Protect Brockwell Park group submitted a pre-action letter to local authorities, intending to contest a council decision granting a certificate for events without planning permission. They raised over £31,000 on Crowdjustice for legal battles due to concerns over large-scale private events adversely affecting the park's ecology. Their allegations include damage from heavy vehicles, waste management issues, and ignoring local residents' opinions, emphasizing ongoing threats to biodiversity and park integrity amidst council negligence.
Our beautiful Brockwell Park is a haven for nature and of immense value to the people of Lambeth and Southwark, but it's under threat from private events.
The residents argue these activities have led to 'permanent damage' to parts of the grassland and are harming trees, with heavy equipment impacting root protection zones.
