Surely it doesn't take the same person over 2 hrs. and 45 minutes to close the gates?

I suspect they work shifts in the Park (at least in the summer) and sometimes it seems to depend on who it is as to when the gates shut. Sometimes, they are bang on time and other times substantially later. In the summer, I cut through the park from the main gate to the farthest South Circular gate on the bike and occasionally wonder whether I might end up shut in. So I do always appreciate when they close the main 'in' gate before they start on their rounds to close the others. I can't wait for the lighter evenings - it's so much more pleasant cutting through the park than braving the South Circ.


I'm struggling to remember if I read something here a while back about the same workers closing the gates in multiple parks (Peckham Rye and Dulwich) which might explain some of the delays. 3 hours does seem like a long time although there may have been some emergency that we're not aware of that easily explains it.

    • So let's never do anything that might improve an area, because it will just be dragged down to the level of what's presently there? Is that what you are saying?
