It seems to be taking and extraordinary amount of time to do very little.
Southwark's website, list it under "Current Projects" but the latest they have on their is about the consultation period which will [sic] end in May 2011.
I miss walking through it, just interested to know what's going on.
I spoke to the council press office about this earlier today, as the work has taken a very long time and the lack of information about the delay is conspicuous.
The notices at the entrances to the churchyard give 1 June (!) as the new completion date.
The press office tells me that the revised timetable for reopening the park will be decided at a meeting this week and they should be able to give us an update on Friday.

I have followed the “developments” in St John Churchyard on daily basis.
Out of the 3 and half months they kept the park closed the contractors have worked circa 1 week in separate days some days only few hours and the most of the time 3-5 people.
How the council justifies the £145,000 spent on this “improvement”?
