Was a bit of a mess the first time - report here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/11081/Gala-2019-Report-V1.4.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiEv7CQ7ofyAhUbTxUIHaRnA20QFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw2JcZkSHurT3L8H7OMHSONE As someone who loves the park, wildlife and festivals hope different this time.

Expert opinion here: https://www.habitataid.co.uk/blogs/blog/how-to-cut-wildflower-meadow I'll hope sensible path being followed. HP

Walked past with son. Stopped to look at the bit opposite Harris Boys where all that lovely long grass/ meadow and mowed path through it was as it was so beautiful and I wanted to show him. Sadly long grass gone and perimiter fence in - hoping one not because of the other😥. HP

I've thought about this incident a lot. I've got to agree with smooch and firstmate in that I think this silence speaks volumes. I am, I think, going to place some flowers if it's ok to do so. HP

Yer wot!! Where have Manatee's posts gone and why? HP

HI - worth paper collaring him? Downloadable here: https://www.cats.org.uk/media/1283/com_1032_lost_and_found_collar_print_out_aw.pdf Also worth knocking on doors. HP

Pretty sure they're for a one-off school trip - there's one planned today. Contact the school office about the engines running as I think that way you'd get something positive done about it? HP

Talk to a wildlife rescuer/expert. Many wild animals- fledgelings being a particular victim of this - are 'put out of their misery' when if assessed they would have been found to have been perfectly viable/ treatable. HP
