Thought I would post a new thread with HOP Recreation Ground being the main focus although there has been some useful points made on the thread 'What's happening on the building site next to HOP station?'

A burial audit has apparently been carried out by Southwark Council and proposals are due to be put to a meeting this month. Friends of HOP Recreation Ground understand that the next place planned for burials is the area on the old Southwark Nursery site behind the big wooden gates guarding all the diggers. This has space for 600 which according to SC will last a year. Then, since they state they acquired the whole area for burial over a century ago, they plan to take the Rec.

This destruction of a popular local green space which is used fully by the community is unacceptable and the Friends group have launched a campaign for the Rec to be protected.
