Campaigners from Protect Brockwell Park are taking legal action against Lambeth Council, claiming that summer festivals, particularly Brockwell Live, are causing irreparable damage to the park's ecosystem. The campaign is backed by actor Sir Mark Rylance, who emphasizes the harm done to flora during these large-scale events. Despite the council's defense indicating low ecological sensitivity, the group argues for stricter planning scrutiny and a halt to commercial activities, emphasizing that the park is a sanctuary that can't withstand the pressures of constant festivities.
Brockwell Park is not a resilient festival venue - it's a vital ecological and community sanctuary. The scale, frequency and environmental toll of these events is unsustainable.
Protect Brockwell Park argues that large-scale events like Brockwell Live are damaging 'the grass, trees and plant life for months if not forever'.
