Reason for new playground maintenance contract, when playground set to be demolished

Dreenagh Lyle made this Freedom of Information request to Lambeth Borough Council Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was successful.

Dear Lambeth Borough Council,
we leaseholders on South Lambeth estate have recently been advised that you intend awarding a contract to Safeplay Playground Services for provision of maintenance to our children's playground. However, we are also advised the playground will be demolished as part of the phased regeneration of South Lambeth estate.
This is now on hold due to Homes for Lambeth folding.
The outline planning was granted some years ago. We are advised the next phases are being re-designed, so why would you award a contract, when the new design has not been produced?

Yours faithfully,

Dreenagh Lyle

Lambeth Council, Lambeth Borough Council
