Hi there,
For months now the Bowling Green pavilion has been subjected to persistent graffiti including sexual imagery and foul language, litter mainly broken alcohol bottles and drug leftovers. Furthermore, the pavilion has been broken into causing damage to the electrics, windows smashed and toilets vandalised. Today two youths came out of the disabled/baby change facility leaving it stinking of dope and filthy having trodden on the toilet area and sink with mud. This was at midday!
These are not "kids from the estate" or "the wrong side of town". They are on the whole white teenage males with expensive (North Face invariably) clothing. It is clear from their accents and clothing, that they are local and unfortunately with an entitled, thoroughly selfish attitude. Police have been informed by myself, Alex who runs the cafe and Lambeth Council but there is little interest despite the high cost of the damage.
So whose kids are they? Interesting question but we have photos and can identify many of them. Most of the damage has been in the early evening up to about 10pm. The council have had to board over the entire front of the pavilion. It would be very helpful if they can be identified to change this behaviour. They all leave the pavilion stinking of dope so there's a start. If they are your children or you know them then can you please help with this?
I don't think anyone is too bothered about the dope smoking, though midday when other kids and Playball groups are around isn't appropriate. It's the rest of it that causes Alex problems and reduces the facilities available for the rest of the public, plus takes away essential funding from the Council.
Thanks for your help.
Julian
