Dear city runners ....I must complain about the lack of cumucation on your part of this event...Sunday you held a run from larkhall park around the area of Clapham and Wandsworth...I faizel salie was on my way to work and found out that there was no buses averabile on my route no trains..which caused me no to be able to travel to work all roads closed and there was no NO ....NONE...NOTHING ...in the way of letting the people in and around this area know about the closed roads ECT...I lost a days pay and I was even given a warning from my boss for not being able to travel...a lot of people I saw were very very upset leaving police to deal with us and telling me that there is nothing they will do or can do ...cumucation between the event organiser and the council should of given notice to all householders and families that this was gonna give DELAYS to us all ...I EVEN HELP THE GQ VAN AS YHEY TOO WERE STUCK IN WHICH THE POLICE HAD TO COME AND STAD WATCH UNTIL THE ROADS WERE OPENED...GQ ARE THE VANS WHICH DELIVER MONEY... With all this in mind I wish you would consider the normal people who have to travel to work on the weekend s....I EVEN saw a lady being arrested for abuse as she could not drive to work ...this was uncalled for...
Where do we go from here... I would like full reimbursement of loss of earnings which is my 8 hours work at time and a half ..120 pounds total.....I an very disappointed in the way this event was organised and cumucation to all the people living in the area ...
Yours Mr f salie..

Ā Ā Ā Read moreMe and another girl went to play tennis here a couple of weeks ago and the whole experience was terrifying! There are no facilities and noone around. there are 2 tennis courts on their own - only one had floodlights and it is not in a very nice area. After we started playing one funny man wearing a silver puffa jacket with orange hair decided to sit on the side of the court and stare at us whilst chain smoking. After a further 5 minutes a group of teenage guys on bikes decided to shout various thing and jeer........... then after a further 5 minutes some turkish men decided to stand on the other side of the court and hiss at us and asked repeatly if we would like sexy time. Lovely.
We abandoned our game.
Go to these tennis courts if you wish but I urge you to take a body guard. Infact, I change my mind, dont go the whole experience...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePeaceful. Pleasant. Picturesque. Park....its a nice local park with wide open grassed areas and gated or fenced area for the playground, football, basket ball and other ball games!
Gets very busy on a hot day as its a very popular park with the locals.
101 birds mainly pigeons resting and nesting in tree and on the grass - they are NOT afraid when in large packs so beware the rain of birds poo when they decide to up and fly over your head top!
When empty it's a very tranquil park to sit and contemplate life.... close to local shops on Wandsworth Road and a short walk...
