Good news about the swings!
My partner emailed Lewisham about the proposals and particularly about the loss of the swings. The new sand area looks great but swings are important too!

They said:

"Thanks you for your email regarding Horniman Triangle.

The new climbing rocks are the first of a number of planned works to re-invigorate the children's playground. We will shortly be demolishing the lower building and transforming the pool area into a sand pit with play equipment.

We are also conscious that swings are still popular and will be looking to replace swings later this year.

It is also the intention to re-open the kiosk in the upper building and we will be looking to add public toilets."

I really hope it will all be well used and looked after.
