I am very glad we were able to experience a little wild spot before it was wantonly ruined.<br /><br />http://commonground08.wordpress.com/2009/07/19/deptford-quatrains-walk-two-secret-deptfordMich Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-19458996345678100902011-01-06T01:07:47.691+00:002011-01-06T01:07:47.691+00:00It's the sort of dull low-maintenance planting...It's the sort of dull low-maintenance planting and landscaping usually seen at bleak motorway services.Gilbertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-85515978430027869142011-01-04T17:39:50.121+00:002011-01-04T17:39:50.121+00:00Thanks anon, it's helpful to have a contributi...Thanks anon, it's helpful to have a contribution from someone who is obviously a much more frequent visitor, but disappointing to hear that the changes have failed to meet the needs of so many users.Deptford Damehttp://deptforddame.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-9713787658055191262011-01-04T14:15:39.571+00:002011-01-04T14:15:39.571+00:00It's such a shame to see a communityy space so...It's such a shame to see a communityy space so completely destroyed in the name of "improvement". What was a pleasant safe space used by many in the community from toddlers to young footballers has become hazardous. It fails on so many levels it's painful.<br /><br /> With no fence surrounding it to keep young children and dogs from running into the road one group of residents is forced to seek green space further afield. The night time lighting is appalling.The wonderful games of sunday football that kept so many youngsters off the streets (& out of trouble) have stopped, as has the community cameraderie for th lonely these events provided. The paths are so full of sand that'll wreck your carpets that you are forced to walk on the grass - forcing many to go elsewhere for an afternoon stroll. With so few green spaces in Deptford, the coming cuts to funding for community events and projects, (the football was free and cost the taxpayer nothing!) it's hard to argue that the person who signed off the invoice for this waste of public funds should not be sacked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
