Well done Southwark for adding more Green Flags to the collection. Southwark started trying for Green Flags when a great Lib Dem Richard Thomas was the executive councillor in charge of parks.

Southwark was awarded another four Green Flags this month and now has 14. Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye Park locally. We need to push for St.Francis Park, Goose Green and Dawson’s Heights to be worthy of this award locally in East Dulwich. The picture is of East Dulwich councillors with a Green Flag at Dawson’s Heights.

Our demands are complicated by Sainsbury’s being responsible for St.Francis Park but I’m sure they could make it happen if they put their minds to it.

A management plan for Dawson’s Heights was prepared using funds allocated by East Dulwich Councillors.

And the friends of Goose Greenhave been doing a great job – East Dulwich councillors recently awarded them £5,000 to help.

So in theory we have everything we need. Just need council officials to orchestrate it…
