Where do you want the Horniman to provide parking? There is no bloody parking in Forest Hill apart from the Sainsburys and local streets.

The thing to do is advertise the Horniman as having NO PARKING, WHICH IS WHAT THEY DID FOR THE JERK COOKOUT!

Roz, for the record I'm sorry you were disturbed by people knocking at your door during your pregnancy during the Jerk Cookout but to be honest, this is what happens and I'm sure with better management, these types of situations can be avoided. I would prefer better management of events than to oppose anything ever happening in the Horniman other than Carol Concerts that are attended by 100 local people from the area who pay 20p each, bring nothing to the local area and dont keep the museum in business.

1) Why is the Horniman not allowed to cash in on people drinking in the Horniman gardens rather than letting people go to the Sainsburys or Tesco down the road and bringing it all to the Horniman to drink? Also, it might mean they do up the cafe which would be a great result as, though it's a nice place to take the kids (which is why I use it), I cant imagine anyone else in their right mind going there for a quiet bite to eat during the day as it's always chaotic bedlam, but think of the possibilities if they got it licensed etc.

2) How many people use the bloody gardens on an average summer sunny weekend day? I would estimate it being more than 5000 so what the hell are we getting so upset about restricting them to 10000 over the course of a day given the size of the park?

3) Do you expect them to start charging entrance to the gardens? This is the only way to properly restrict entry and that's where it will go if you dont stop opposing them doing anything new.
