A number of us are puzzled that the event is not held on the common, this is where events are usually mounted, leaving the more ornamental section of the park free. Again, the objection is not so much to the three day event itself but to the fact that for the sake of three days a large section of the park is taken out of use for weeks, in high summer. There is also significant damage to that section of the park, seriously limiting its use for months. If music venues are closing in London I wonder if this is because they are having to compete with myriad park festivals, of which there has been an explosion. -

I’m not a Southwark council stooge I’m a city drone working for the man in the square mile… I’ve been an East Dulwich resident from 2007. I lost access to my previous account my new account is from 2012 as mentioned. its unbelievably narrow minded to think that there is no local support for the festival. I would say that 8/10 of my local friends do. OK they/we are the types that like a party. The two that are mildly annoyed are dog walkers who do moan about having to use the other side of the park… but again they don’t hate it. I take the point that although only 3 days of noise, access to the park is restricted for longer but there is another mooosive bit of grass right next to it that people can use … ie the Rye common part of the park. I feel London’s open spaces should be for everyone EVEN those that like to listen music and dance in the open air. AND those that want to use it for quiet contemplation. I would also like to highlight that nightclubs and venues across UK are under pressure and closing at a shocking rate. A large event like this not only supports the artists playing and the ‘scene. ’ It also provides traffic and income at local south London venues used for pre and post events/ drinking. We should all be proud of the musical culture the UK has to offer and in particular it’s leading contribution to electronic dance music. There needs to be more support for the reducing number of venues and events. -
I'm sorry to hear about your little puppy being bitten. I hope s/he is ok. On another note I would be grateful if people generally don't use the name Karen negatively in posts. This Karen finds it rather hurtful. -
A perfectly healthy looking tree in our road was recently removed, and apparently it was because it had diseased roots. Who knows how this was discovered!
