Cllr Barber suggested that Burgess Park be made a Royal Park so I informed him that I wrote to Prince Charles two years ago to ask that he consider such an idea.

Unfortunately I got a very brief letter back saying that as it would require an Act of Parliament he was not prepared to consider it. I did highlight the fact that it was very damaging for the monarchy that all of the city's Royal Parks are in some of London's most exclusive postcodes, but he was unmoved. Instead I got passed on to the CEO of the Royal Parks Agency who offered a couple of days of a member of his team's time to help the Council's parks department identify other funding! :-S

I'm not convinced that royal patronage would be good for the park now, i only suggested it for the prospect of extra investment and now the Council may get it elsewhere from the Mayor. It's a deserving case and the money would really help a park that is important to the whole of the borough.

Burgess Park had been due to get millions of pounds in improvement work as part of the Cross River Tram scheme, so now thats in doubt, this would be a timely boost for its future....fingers crossed that Boris delivers on this one!]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/102381#msg-102381 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 20:57:46 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/102345#msg-102345 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Hatts) http://jamesbarber.mycouncillor.org.uk/2009/01/08/burgess-park-candidate-for-new-royal-park/]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/102345#msg-102345 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:08:19 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100393#msg-100393 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Zoe)

However I was disappointed that Mary Harmsworth wasn't one of the parks we could vote for, as it needs some money spent on it.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100393#msg-100393 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 09:47:03 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100345#msg-100345 forum@london-se1.co.uk (Zappomatic) SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100345#msg-100345 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 01:33:32 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100327#msg-100327 forum@london-se1.co.uk (James Johnston)
I hope that everyone in Southwark will do what they can to let Boris know how much Burgess Park would benefit from this huge investment.

His contact details are available at:

This is really an excellent opportunity to transform Burgess Park into an amazing place and wonderful local resource.

For so many years, Burgess Park has not fulfilled its potential. Let's hope that starting in 2009 this will begin to change.]]> SE1 Discussion http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/100327#msg-100327 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 17:20:40 +0000 http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/96537/96780#msg-96780 forum@london-se1.co.uk (INDOMIE)

Are they using other parts of the park too, then?
