FOLSAP: Lollard Street Adventure Playground
Dear Councillor Robbins
Over the past six months the Friends of
Lollard Street Adventure Playground have been pleading with you to delay the
closure of our Adventure Playground to enable us to find an alternative model
of management that would retain its opening hours to fit the needs of parents
and children for safe after-school provision in an area of great need. You took
the time to listen to parents and the young children who attended a meeting
with you in May. You seemed to understand from what you heard, that this was
not just about the need for free and adventurous play with excellent and varied
indoor provision, important though that is. But, that this was also a
safeguarding issue relating to after-school provision for parents struggling to
work, often in low paid jobs with inflexible hours.
You persuaded us that it would be
worthwhile our trying to produce a business plan and get properly constituted,
in the spirit of the ’cooperative’ council! You assured us that your officers
would provide us with the necessary information to do this so that we would be
able to calculate costs and research outside partners and funders. We were
working hard to do this when we learned that you had already gone out to seek
tenders from a long list of organisations with whom the Council already had
contracts. In the meantime, without proper notice to the parents and children,
you closed Lollard Street Adventure Playground and others.
In
my last letter to you (16th August), I queried the process the
Council had adopted in this case. It did not seem to accord with its own code
of practice. We understand now that only two organisations/businesses applied
to run the Council’s seven Adventure Playgrounds at much reduced hours. In
three of the playgrounds this would amount to only one session a week. The
contract would be for six months starting immediately.
Now we are told that the contract cannot be
awarded as, surprise surprise, the process was wrong! We are told today, that Lollard Street, and
we assume at least three others, will remain closed whilst the Council sorts
itself out.
I ended my last letter to you, asking
whether this was the best we could do for our kids? Is it?
Yours sincerely
Anna Tapsell
Hon Treasurer Friends of Lollard Street Adventure Playground.
Chair of Kennington Association.

Soundtrap V: Bruce Gilbert and BAW
Diluvial, 2011
Local preoccupations with rising sea levels fuel Diluvial – a work that dwells on the dynamics of flood geology and global warming; creation stories and climate change.
Diluvial is an evolving soundscape and environment by Bruce Gilbert (ex Wire) and Beaconsfield ArtWorks (David Crawforth and Naomi Siderfin). Fifth in the Soundtrap series, this new sonic work was initiated on the Suffolk coast for Faster than Sound, Aldeburgh Music 2011 and is now developed for London.
A new soundtrack will be created on a weekly basis throughout the exhibition and presented within a changing physical environment.
Friday 28 October at 7pm

Conic Trilogy, 2010
Parabola 22:00 / Hyperbola 26:00 / Ellipsis 9:00
Conic Trilogy is a series of three digital films made in part on Orford Ness, Suffolk, a small island which politically resonates through its history of espionage, atomic testing and international communications.
The trilogy – Parabola, Ellipsis and Hyperbola – references a mathematical concept whereby those forms are all obtained by intersecting a “conical surface” with a plane, in turn, referring to an intersection of different narratives, disciplines and ideologies in the work. A fictional text links this signature assemblage, written by Nooshin Farhid and narrated by Ross Mullan.
The work is cinematically presented with screenings at 11.30 / 13.00 / 14.30 / 16.00 during gallery hours.
