So Dark Sainsburys Park

[alice]

Was there ever any lights? So dark impossible to see the path. Surrounding bright lights somehow intensify the darkness. Anyone know if this is a sainsburys or councillors responsibility?

Pretty sure it's Sainsbury's responsibility

[alice]

Thanks I’ll try and contact them.

The gate is meant to be locked at dusk. Sainsbury’s is responsible.

I never walk through that park at dark, it takes longer to walk the other way round, but it's safer.

Its good to let the wildlife have some darkness.

I completely agree with womanofdulwich that the park should remain unlit at night to leave in peace such wildlife as still remains.

Though based on previous reports, that would mainly be rats

Many years ago now I had a conversation with an assistant manager about how they proposed to deal with the rats. I was told that I should speak to Southwark Council as the rats came from land owned by the council!

There are, or used to be, foxes there - they could deal with the rats.

Sainsburys are responsible for allowing daytime access: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=1926691. Schedule 4 of the agreement I mention there also provides for a Management Plan for the park, to be submitted to and approved by the council.
