From Hyde Park to Hampstead Heath, from Battersea Park to Peckham Rye Common groups of people touched by the importance of the imminent park-exchange have left the comfort of their homes on a windy bank holiday monday to demonstrate their involvement and make many more people aware. Sounding klaxons, chanting and waving home-made banners the message is clear: the swap cannot go un-noticed and so will not go un-announced. This group photographed in Ruskin Park Camberwell were eager to emphasise their concerns for the knock-on effects of the change. Audrey Rose, a full-time student, stated 'I mean, where does it end... first these two parks and then more?... and what next football stadiums, beaches?' This seemed to be a sentiment shared by all, while the purpose of their rally was concisely summed up by gardener Benjamin Wilkins-Gardiner who added 'if just one person sees these banners and looks it up for themselves... logs on to this admirable blog and helps find some truth, then we've done our job.'
