Lewisham Council suggest using one of the following mobile phone apps to report problems at Mountsfield Park and any other public space in the borough. Eg litter, bins overflowing, toilet unusable, uneven paths, dog litter, entrance gates left open…
MP Heidi Alexander explains how to use the apps in this youtube video. When submitting a report using one of these apps, there is a ‘Category’ ‘Parks – Damage/Maintenance’.

The Council are proposing to reduce the Lewisham parks and green spaces budget by a third up to 2018. Its going to be difficult for the Council to maintain the standards that we expect. They want to know when the park isn’t being properly maintained.

Yes we should follow that up! Will check with BDP and find our whether they will be providing the topsoil for the raised beds.
The cup of sugar per 9 litres water for bare root trees sounds interesting also.
