Roz,
the minority of people voting 'no' are voting to end the Jerk Cookout at Horniman. You might not want to use the word ban, but that is what it is - a ban on a specific event, or possibly all large events, in the Horniman. I had not intention of suggesting that you want to ban all jerk chicken.

I do not think either Mayow Park or Blythe Hill are particularly suitable venues as they as not as well connected to public transport, so a no vote means moving the Jerk Cookout beyond Forest Hill (unless Peckham Rye and Crystal Palace are now in Forest Hill alongside Willow Way). I think you show exactly where you are coming from when you suggest moving the event to Blythe Hill. You don't like people parking in your street or the extra traffic and would prefer it to be somebody else's problem.

The point I make about the pool is that the majority of people do want to see positive things in Forest Hill and welcome people coming to the area. Rather than deciding to take the easy route and move the pool outside the town centre, or ejecting the jerk cookout from Horniman, we would prefer to see a compromise that keep them in Forest Hill if we can find a way to make them work - we did it for the pool and I am sure we can do the same for the cookout. It is a shame that you are still not prepared to consider any ways in which the Jerk Cookout could remain in Horniman Gardens.
