Rats in the park!
Children at risk! @haringeycouncil spend some #FinsburyPark #festival mitigations income frm @LiveNationUK on legacy of serious rat infestation. Seven Sisters & Endymion esp bad

And there’s a map to find the splendid mosaics. It’s beautiful book showcasing ‘The Hackney Mosaic Project’ which helps people with addiction & mental health problems, while also improving neglected corners of the city.’

Weeks later: park remains in poor state with drought looming, yet @haringey.gov.uk committed to exploiting green heritage rather than reducing frequency & charging £bn fest organisers more! @cprelondon.bsky.social @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @islington-council.bsky.social @parksforlondon.org.uk

@haringey.gov.uk pls reduce yr #abuse
Max it while U can as barricades to go up again in June!
Help save Grde II listed #heritage #FinsburyPark: @clivecarter.bsky.social @hackneycouncil.bsky.social @islingtonxr.bsky.social @parksforlondon.org.uk @lgspace.bsky.social @gigl-lerc.bsky.social

A joy to see this thoughtfully planted area in Finsbury Park: dead-hedge borders & planting for pollinators; all done by volunteers of @FinsParkFriends #rewilders group, creating habitat for wildlife. So good to see such care & love for our much-beleaguered Park. Bit of a contrast @haringeycouncil

PLS GIVE IT A REST
😢 Grade II listed #FinsburyPark scarred from years of abuse by @haringeycouncil NB big contrast btwn areas barricaded off for major events/other parts left for public recreation
