I'd still like to know where people are going to be laid to rest. It might be an idea to come up with some creative answers to that one don't you think if people really want a long term solution.? If you hide all the evidence of death and remembrance from people then they won't get a balanced experience of life. The dead are us and will be us. Many people find it uplifting to visit their deceased relatives . And Councils are not doing this for themselves for personal gain- providing burial space of some kind is actually in itself a community need yet overdramatically they are portrayed in much of this as land grabbing opportunists.

I've lived in the area a long time. My children have used the little playground around the rec but in general its a dump, eerie during the day ( because of the strange living people that frequent this area , not the quieter ones in the graveyard itself) and I do feel that its use as a community health/sports facility is really being overplayed here and largely stimulated by the fact that it might actually be used for something else. There are plenty of alternatives for childrens play space in this area ie the Horniman, the Triangle, Blythe Hill fields etc. I thought there were plans to retain part of this for a community sports facility in any case?
