The health and safety of our visitors, event attendees and staff members remain our highest priority. As such, the London Borough of Lambeth and EventLambeth is closely monitoring developments around the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) and sharing safeguards and best practices as outlined by the Government and Public Health authorities. We will be working closely with all of our event organisers to ensure events are carefully planned within Public Health Guidelines to prevent the spread. We would therefore ask that you keep the plans for your event under review and advise us if you need to make any changes or amendments to them. If you are due to attend an event please keep an eye out on social media for the Council and the Event itself, we are trying to ensure that all updates and changes to events are recorded as soon as we are aware but the situations are changing hourly and so before setting off to attend an event please do check to see if it is still taking place. If you are looking to apply for an event in 2020 as we are trying to find spaces for postponed events these will be given priority and so we are not able to accept new applications at present – we thank you for your... by Olivia Pearcey | May 31, 2018 | Community Enagement, Community Groups, Event Management, Events, Information and Guidance, Sound

EventLambeth and Lambeth Landscapes met with representatives from the Friends of Streatham Common to look at the common and areas for reinstatement. The main area of damage from Circus Zyair has been levelled and a large amount of soil (50:50 mix sand and soil) has been brought onsite to re-level the area and assist with the re-seeding. The Lambeth Landscapes team were spreading the soil yesterday and will be following with re-seeding today. The areas that fall outside of this main impact will be filled by hand. The cost for the reinstatement has been met in the entirety by Circus Zyair. There are also some other areas on the Common that haven’t recovered from previous reinstatement as we would have hoped so a separate company will be coming onsite to vertidrain, surface dress and re-seed key areas. They will do this once the Funfair leaves site. Bensons Funfair will be arriving onsite on Monday. They have re aligned their site plan to avoid those areas that have recently been instated and will also have track mats down along agreed vehicle routes. A member of EventLambeth staff will be onsite to meet them when they arrive to ensure that these provisions are in... by Olivia Pearcey | Mar 16, 2018 | Event Management, Events, Information and Guidance, Reinstatement
EventLambeth is aware of the ground damage on Streatham Common from the Circus Zyair vehicles. This is not something that we condone and work was done by the events team on consultation with Lambeth Parks service to ensure that the event organiser had adequate protection and plans in place to manage careful vehicle movement. These were agreed, however unfortunately the road works on Streatham Common South meant that the vehicle carrying the ground protection track way delivery couldn’t get through. Parks and events officers have visited the Common yesterday to record the damage that is visible at present and so the reinstatement plans can start to be drawn up. These will be undertaken by Lambeth Landscaping although if they don’t have the staff capacity we will bring in an external contractor so that the work is completed as quickly as possible. The event is due to egress on Tuesday and we will be asking the organiser to provide a detailed plan of how they will manage this to prevent further damage. The event organiser is aware that they are responsible for the costs of all reinstatement. We have asked the organiser to fill in the deepest ruts while they are onsite to reduce the likelihood of trips and to put down additional matting between the big top and the toilets and along the path that the big top is off as it was noted yesterday people queuing to get in to the circus with buggies etc meant that those wanting to walk along the path had to step off on to the grass. Going forward the events team will... by Olivia Pearcey | Feb 13, 2018 | Community Enagement, Community Groups, Event Management, Events, Information and Guidance, Reinstatement
We want to provide an update to local park users and residents following the first month of reinstatement post Winterville. It should be noted that all groundwork is paid for by the event organsiers. On the 10th January a Site handback took place with with members of the CCMAC, Lambeth Landscapes, Councillors, Event Organiser and EventLambeth. At this it was agreed that Lambeth Landscape would undertake the work and provide a quote based on the Agronomist recommendations from previous site visit. The planned reinstatement works will be as follows; Topsoil Around 80 tonnes of imported topsoil will be used to fill in of any ruts or depressions. This will consist ideally of a sandy loam to the current BS standard. Surplus soil will be spread evenly over more level areas subject to thinning ground cover. Verti-drain When ground conditions over the site are sufficiently firm, the verti-drain treatment will commence immediately. A small fixture fitted to a smaller tractor with grass tyres may be used initially, but the aim will be to achieve as substantial a compaction relief effect as possible. This means using as large a combination of verti-drain and tractor as the ground conditions will allow. If the combination is producing undue damage to the surface, the operation should be delayed until ground conditions are suitable. All areas of the site should be treated. Over-seeding Over-seeding will commence as soon as the verti-drain operation has completed, using a 100% dwarf perennial ryegrass seed mix. A standard sowing rate of 35 g/m2 will be adopted over all areas obviously affected by the event. Areas where almost all ground...
