The Brockwell Park event has been canceled after the site was ‘fixed’ by festivals

Peter Bradley, chairman of Friends of Brockwell Park, said the green space had suffered “long-term” damage from the summer festivals.

“Nature takes a long time to recover,” he said. “The damage to the ground from these vehicle movements, these thousands and thousands of people is long-term.

He said Lambeth Council was “seeing the pound signs”.

“It’s not the best Brockwell Park can be, it’s the worst.”

One local man, who did not want to be named, added: “I’m a musician and I don’t think it’s right. The land is just destroyed.

“This is our local community space and I think community spaces need to stop being used so frequently for these profit making events.”
