The London County Council however, stated that they
could not see their way to make this change during the band

Brunswick Park. Use as Play Centre During Holidays.
During the summer, the Council received an application
from the Union of Girls' Schools Settlement for the use of
part of Brunswick Park as a play centre for elementary
school children between the ages of 4 and 10 years.
The Council decided that during the period of the
Elementary school summer holidays of 1929, the Union of
Girls' Schools Settlements be allowed to use as a Play Centre
for children the portion of Brunswick Park ordinarily reserved
for the open air class, subject to the amenities of the
Park not being injuriously affected.
Sunray Gardens. Swans.
In June, 1929, five cygnets were hatched at this Open
Space, and the parent birds refused to allow the three survivors
of their previous year's brood on the water.
The Council accordingly agreed to the disposal of these
three birds—two being presented to the Ealing Corporation
and one to a local resident.
One Tree Hill. Convenience.
The Council at various times have had before them the
inadequacy of the lavatory convenience provided at this Open
Space, and in October, 1929, it was decided to proceed with
the erection of conveniences for both sexes at One Tree Hill
on the eastern slope near Honor Oak Park and almost adjoining
St. Augustine's Parish Hall.
New Cemetery Road. Provision of Seats.
The Council decided to place six seats in the New
Cemetery Road, on the northern side between Kelvington Road
and Brockley Footpath, and the Metropolitan Public Gardens
Association made a contribution towards the cost of such
seats.
Public Baths and Wash houses.
At their meeting in December, 1929, the Council received the
following report from Alderman W. Brenchley, J.P., the Chairman
of the Public Service Committee, with reference to the use of the
Public Baths in the Borough during the six months, April to
September, 1929:—
During the six months April to September, 1929, the Public Baths of Camberwell
were used, by 531,000 persons. An analysis of the figures shows that approximately
152,000 took advantage of the facilities for a warm bath, and of these 80 per cent.
used the Baths in the northern part of the Borough.
