BROCKWELL PARK MAC
At the monthly meeting of the MAC about 24 people gathered to be updated on the Lottery Bid
and the proposal to create a new children's play area close to the Rosendale Gate.
NORWOOD LODGE SITE
Zoe Birt from the Norwood Road outline the objectives of NORA Norwood Road Residents association.
1. to Get safer access to the park at the Norwood Gate ideally with a light controlled crossing- the current Zebra is very unsafe as its on a bend and approaching high speed traffic travelling north dont have good sight line when approach the crossing.
2. The Main objective is to object to the current recycling activities that are taking place within the site of the former New lodge ( demolished) and also the proposal to relocate the Parks servicing crews and equipment from the centre of the Park.
The Nora reps were advised to take up their concerns witth the consultants at the next meeting. 19TH MARCH
GREENHOUSE SITE
John Spicer raised questions of the proposed use of the Temple Lodge as offices for the community Greenhouses and and possibility of Lamonte Johnson's arts workshop taking up temporary residence. Lamont'e services are much in demand and this was a good opportunity
to establish his scheme in the park. John asked whether the interests of the Community greenhouses had been considered as they had previously occupied the building when Greeen adventure were given £150k Lottery funding to run the Project.
John sought detailed information on the allocation of £120k for improvements and demolition on the site. He was told that this could be answered by the consultants. on 19TH MARCH
HERNE HILL JUNCTION
The issue of the demolition of the toilets and whether they are to be replaced and who would pay for this was discussed without consequence . The view of the Parks Department that they would be happy to see no provision at that point was noted.
However I think all present felt there should be a continued provision and that could also benefit bus drivers.
LIDO/ CHANGING ROOMS/ PADDLING POOL
The entrance to the Lido and the enhancing and securing of the access to the carpark/ pedestrian access to the park and the Lido raise issues of security design railings etc.
Neither the Mac nor Land Use Consultants had been involved in this and as HLF funding was
available for remodelling this area the MAC were seeking involvement.
However this is an aspect where the Parks department must have a view and input .
No information was available on the CHANGING ROOMS or Paddling Pool.
