Campaigners criticized the decision to hold Brockwell Park festivals following a High Court ruling favoring local activists against Lambeth Council. The Protect Brockwell Park group contends that the council's approval of events bypasses essential planning processes. Festival organizers, including those running Mighty Hoopla, assert that the court's decision addressed technicalities and stand by their legal right to proceed. Lambeth Council is considering a new lawful certification for the events but maintains the festivals will occur regardless of legal review. The Protect Brockwell Park group plans further legal action if necessary.
Brockwell Live, despite legal challenges, confirmed its series of events in Brockwell Park will continue as planned, citing technical legal grounds for proceeding.
