20th Century Society posting about Lambeth Council’s decision to freeze plans to restore Kennington Bowl. Petition to reverse the decision here: Petition · Save Kennington Skatebowl from the cuts! - United Kingdom · Change.org
Only skated it once over 10 years ago, after Converse(?) had had a go at restoring it partly. Was still hard work to skate then.
By the sounds of it, there’s no money for the restoration and essential council services are struggling. Not sure what could be done.
