Just to let you know, Lewisham Council's Green Scene division have let the contract to improve the play park, and the phase one works will be complimented via the Play Builder scheme, which include some very exciting equipment for young people. These works will commence in January, and be completed by the end of March 09. We have also arranged for a copy of the layout to be placed on the noticeboard in the park this month.
The redundant toilet block will be demolished in January, and we hope to have the cafe open for the spring/summer 09.
As to possible plague pits, bubonic plague is a bacterium, not a virus, or a combination of both, which is carried by infected fleas usually on rats. It still exists, although it is possible to cure it if caught in time.
