Save Deptford Park

Lewisham Council has given the go-ahead for the construction of a 4-storey housing development, along with other buildings, a car park and access road right in the park.

A significant part of Deptford Park is going to be made into a private car park, with a new access road through the park which will run alongside the children's play area, bringing traffic into the heart of the park. Deptford Park is the only open green space between Southwark Park and Greenwich Park in South East London.

A large protest camp needs to be built very soon. Lets start building tree house and tunnels like we did at Crystal Palace Park a few years ago.

this also fits with the general and rather covert appropriation of public space in the Pepys estate Deptford, literally across the road from the park. The few green spaces on the estate are in real danger of being built on and residents need help resisting. There are already many squatters in one of the blocks of flats that are set to be demolished soon, and a few people are looking to organise. More concrete details to follow...

Press Release

Deptford Park Residents’ Association (DPRA) was formed in March 2004 by concerned local residents responding to a variety of issues affecting their community, including the plans put forward by Lewisham Council and London & Quadrant to build on Deptford Park. DPRA meets monthly and membership is free.

More than 100 local residents belong and membership is growing steadily. DPRA’s aims are to allow all locals to have their say in improving what is happening in and around Deptford Park for the benefit of the whole community.
