There are trains advertised from PR on 28 May and I am planning to use. Is this correctly advertised?

There is no service between Surrey Quays and Clapham Junction the whole bank holiday weekend (Sat-Mon). Replacement buses are running.


Additionally, I'm a local resident who utilizes the park to walk my two large dogs on a fairly regular basis and enjoy the space. While the festival is not my thing and I won't go, there is absolutely NO reason not to allow this. It's a public event for the public on public land.


For those who are wholly opposed - you have options - get out of town for the weekend, use another park, buy ear plugs (see where I'm going with this?).


At the end of the day this is a good lesson in tolerance, which many people need to learn more of.

Southwark website says the promoters had other choices but they especially liked the "pretty" backdrop of this venue and wanted the visual impact of the trees and park for their ticket buyers. The common has no trees. They also said that on the common sound would be harder to contain, the trees act as a sound buffer.

Maybe we can have Jeremy Corbyn next year as his event at White Hart Lane Rec isn't selling to well :)

The government gives money to the local council but the local council are free to spend the money on whatever you voted for...many Labour councils will withhold money from the front line services and spend more on admin at the Town Hall....YOU have given them carte blanche to do this and do it they will- with impunity if central Government is Tory...so suck it up for another 4 years.

Don't know why that just came to mind...

I know right. I went to Dulwich park this weekend, and did you know, there's a caf?!!!???, right in the middle of the park!!!??? in the exact spot I wanted to sit and listen to my wireless. And all these people(probably out of towners) were in there eating, drinking and enjoying themselves. I don't know why the council didn't think of the local residents who can only use that 100sqm of park space, and couldn't possibly just sit somewhere else.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
