Tourney: BFF 2010 Experimental Polo 17.10.2010

As John pointed out to me... having money stored in the electricity box may not be the best way to ensure it is not tampered with.

The only real way forward is to counter the safety argument with another safety argument... I walk my dog through there at night times, there are loads of gangs in there now, etc and push for a larger/tougher/secure box to be installed.

Exactly. The problem isnt the cost of lights, and theres no real dispute about the cutoff time (wasnt it somewhere around 9.30-10?). From what Southwark told me, the real problem is the damage, and the danger of messing with the electricity. A box full of money will only attract more damage.

Emphasising that leaving the park in darkness brings its own danger is a good angle to take, as is a more general "Im a resident who uses the park and Id like the lights back". I think thats all Kev told them, which works because it makes it sound like theres a wider range of people using the space. Maybe even tell them your kids play there and now its dark at night its not safe for them, but theres nowhere else?

Should we move this to another thread, btw? Its not about the BFF, and it involves people who might not be coming. Anybody seen a mod around here?
