The Future of the Park

The only process which is guaranteed it seems for Beckenham Place Park is apparently endless 'consultations' to find acceptable solutions (which London Borough of Lewisham find acceptable).  There  are currently interested local individuals and groups who would like to explore a community solution and ensure community use of the Mansion and perhaps other buildings in the park.

Here are links to a conservation action plan for the buildings and an assessment of possible future uses for the park. The favourite in our opinion is some kind of training or educational facility possibly including gallery and exhibition facilities and perhaps being a possible event venue.

Inappropriate developments and actions which make us doubt the Lewisham Council appreciation of the whole site include the establishment of a 'green waste procession site'  on the edge of ancient woodland and on the route of supposedly scenic routes of the Green Chain and Capital Ring long distance walks. Bringing contractors vehicles in close proximity to park users is a further concern.
