I think you're missing the point; this is one of the most popular parts of the park, and after a month of being inaccessible it is now effectively unusable - who would want to sit in the middle of that mess? And yes, they could do 'remedial' works, but it will take months to get back to some kind of acceptable condition, and then the summer has gone. You say "some" of it looks trifling, which means a lot of it isn't - deep corrugations from the trackway etc. The fact is that GALA are unable to return the site to us in the same condition, or better, than it was before - another lie that they spouted just to secure a licence and placate those tiresome 'locals'. So, again, why should we have to put up with this, every year? PS they also haven't cleared away the yellow event road signs yet either - another thing they promised they would do better / quicker this year... -
There's an article on the BBC website today talking about some councils increasing fines for fly tipping. BBC News - Londoners told not to fly-tip as fines increase https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5117rdn92wo And quite right that fly tippers are penalised, however playing devil's advocat here, as councils have made it harder amd harder for businesses and households to get rid of bulk waste, have they had a partial hand in increasing fly tipping? Maybe there needs to be a rethink about how bulk or large waste is delt with to remove the prospect of fly tipping and to make it easier for recycling without penalising those getting rid of rubbish rather than, as the OP points out, making it harder to get rid off thus raising the risk of fly tipping? -
I agree those pictures don't look too bad. But if you actually go to the area it's far worse than what these photos show. Yes the grass will eventually grow back, but the issue is the deep tracks and holes caused by the machinery, the ground is uneven and when those deep ridges are covered in grass you'll not see them and that is dangerous, causing possible injuries -

Because some of what's in the photos looks pretty trifling - like what always happens when you put a tent or object on grass in summer, the grass goes yellow and droopy. And then the rain and sun do their work and it's back to where it was quite quickly. But if the damage is still there in a month, then it needs remediation. Brockwell put up fences and security gates because the open events became unmanageable. Now it has fenced off events - same as Peckham Rye.
