I see Melbourne rd was closed today. Looking down I could see a gazebo and about 3 children playing.

It is a regular occurrence that it's closed for the the locals to play on the street. (Which is a good thing) but does 2 or three kids warrant it so often? Especially as it is such an important rd.

It was closed for 3 hours 3-6 pm for a play out, in conjunction with London Car Free Day. There were posters at both ends of the street explaining this. I assume you came past at the start when we were setting up but for most of it there were in excess of 20 kids and slightly fewer adults, all having a wonderful time playing with their neighbours and enjoying their freedom. It?s a residential street with lots of kids living on it. Sorry if those few hours made your journey a little longer and thank you from my three kids who had a wonderful time with their friends!

    • This is the relevant passage, I believe "Southwark Council (Peckham Rye, Burgess Park, Southwark Park) will earn a projected £440,000 from events in its parks in 2025, up from £340,000 in 2024. Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
