Firstly strong letters of complaint to Horniman Gardens and Museum.
Secondly this was a money making event, someone made a "mint" from yesterday with no regard for the local community.
Horniman gardens was at saturation point yesterday as I walked through, people were more interested in queing up for chicken than stepping aside to let people walk through. Even flower beds had to be "fenced off" to protect them.
I felt sorry for the two very young pc's standing on the corner of Horniman Drive and Westwood park. They looked like they were just out of college and with no senior officers visible either.
I felt even more sorry for the residents on Westwoork Park, Tewkesbury Avenue, Horniman Drive, both Crescents and Ringmore Rise who had to put up with the noise, traffic and general commotion on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon. Cars were parked nose to tail, dangerously on sharp bends and up one side of Brenchley gardens, and Netherby and Canonbie Roads were also saturated.
So as to the solution, sorry but it needs moving, so why not onto Peckham Rye, with more than enough space and plenty of parking opportunities, like even on the Rye itself.
