I just went past Camberwell Old Cemetery on Underhill Road and noticed significantly fewer trees. What on earth has happened? It used to be dense, now you can see right into the cemetery.


I thought Southwark Council had implied tree felling wasn't to be done without consultation/ for some time/ not heavy handed?!


Very, very sad loss of further green spaces and habitat.

Southwark has in all likelihood (as I don't sit in the meetings) used an opportunity to take down trees to make Mr Hargrove's vision of a "traditional" cemetery a reality. Trees with plaques can be a cemetery. Benches with plaques under trees and in foliage can be a cemetery. Wall made of plaques with dense bio-diversity can be a cemetery. Two layers of cement is the vision of the Council because that's "what people want".

      Portable Air Conditioner

      Probably not the best time for year to be selling this but hey ho.  I’ve got a Fral Super Cool FSC 14 for sale.    https://www.nationalheatershops.co.uk/p/fral-sc14-portable-air-conditioner/   it’s in used but good condition. If you’d like to make me an offer I’d like it gone. Drop me a DM if you’re interested.

      You all have different and conflicting interests though. It isn't necessarily appropriate for him to communicate with all of you at the same time about the same issues.    You're giving more away with each post as to how these difficulties probably arose.

      @CPR Dave He needs to communicate collectively with all of the beneficiaries.  That is the whole point of my original post.  Electronic communications are the best way of doing this, as I am doing now on this forum.  Apart from the gold digger who will get a six figure sum the rest of us are on four figures, and that is going down by the day. I'm offended by any suggestion that we are not behaving well.  What on earth do you mean?

      Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
