Hello Dulwich mums and dads,


I'm a Herne Hill mum with a 7-month old baby and have just launched my first children's story book. It's all about the bolshy, cacophonous parrots of Brockwell Park and encourages children to stop and notice nature all around them. It's written in rhyme and has been illustrated by another local mum, Jenna Herman, who uses line drawings with washes of oil, acrylic and watercolour.


We've also teamed up with the brilliant Bumble Box of Herne Hill, to create a lovely book and bird activity box - perfect for little explorers. Both make a welcome way to fill some summer holiday minutes!


You can find out more at www.doodlesandscribbles.co.uk; or find the book in Tales on Moon Lane, Herne Hill Books and Village Books.


We hope you like them and happy parrot spotting!


Lucy

    • There seem to all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that is was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging tneir plans to increase the site footprint. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.
    • I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way. 
    • There is now reseach emerging into the impact of festivals on nesting birds and I will be collating that for the consultations this time round. That research is showing that walls of suddenly imposed sound can send birds away never to return to their nests. Some species are affected more than others. Starlings are particularly sensitive. 
    • do attend one of the drop in sessions to voice your concerns!
