"It's a disaster waiting to happen!"

… says Julia M who emailed in this from Newsshopper:

"Hush hush" proposals to put grazing cows in a popular park and golf course are complete and udder madness, users say.

The proposal to turn part of Beckenham Place Park, which lies between Downham and Beckenham, into 'parkland grazing' is one of four options put forward as part of a radical redesign being considered by Lewisham Council, which has responsibility for the space…

I'm not sure quite how hush-hush this public announcement was, but hey…

Controversially, the plan would do away with the park's famous golf course…

David Hansom from the Friends of Beckenham Place Park, who fought those plans, said: "If you look at all the pictures from the 18th century, they show the parkland was used for grazing animals which people could eat in big houses.

"But they can't really seriously consider that. The idea's ridiculous."

Yes, eating grazing animals in big houses. Ridiculous.

Judith Whitton, 63, of Burnt Ash Lane, regularly walks her dog Leah in the park - the borough's largest green space - and said an exhibition of the plans last month was kept under wraps.

She said: "They've kept it all hush hush but all these plans sound like pie in the sky to me. They should be more concerned with looking after it a bit better."

No, not "pie in the sky", this is a case of "pie ingredients in the park".
