The Haberdashers' Company didn't think us lowly epsilon-minus types on the Hill's fringe roads deserved La-di-da London Planes - we got Rowans, Blackthorns, diseased Cherries, and unproductive crab apple trees.
Oh the scourge of living the poverty-stricken streets. Soma anyone?

Finbarr - is it a red spiral bound book by any chance? Can I ask you drop it into the Stepping Stones nursery (next to the Church of God of Prophecy on Kitto Road) - I think Evania is a pupil (is this right for a toddler?) there.
Nobody has suggested digging up anything and we are actively working to provide facilities of some sort in the area with the support of our councillors, our MP and the local police who all support what we are doing.
In earlier posts you were advocating something in the park - I see you moved away from that idea now. My comments are obviously having an effect.

Perhaps you should consider getting off your own backside and do something positive instead of sniping and whining all the time.
Are you really interested in this issue or is your aim just to be provocative and obstructive. I would have thought that someone who, like yourself, is participatory in alternative culture would be more supportive. But my feeling is that you use this forum to sublimate your own frustrations. Get a life fella.
Not all, I just don't see why people expect us to dig up the park to provide facilities for a small group of kids when they are available within easy distance. If your son wants to play with his skateboard then good for him; but it's up to you to help him out, not sit back and expect the rest of us to put up with his antics on the pavements or reserve a large part of a community resource (the park) to a small minority.
If I decided to take up show jumping, would you be supportive of me practising on the streets and then demanding that the kiddies play-ground should be removed and a series of challenging jumps installed?

So do under 18s if in school, but although I would have been OK with my 12 year old playing with his friends (even in winter after dark) within a 1/2 mile radius I would have worried a lot if they were ranging around SE London on buses.
I see. So we should dig up the park, knock down half the houses, and burn down the church just so any local 12 year-olds can indulge in their latest fad; be it skateboarding, paint-balling, screaming, drinking, drug-taking or deep-sea diving? Alternatively, their parents could take responsibilities for their entertainment, get off their fat arses and accompanying them to suitable sites and leave the rest of us free to get on with our lives.
