Post Parkour

Ben Jonson Place seems to be a popular spot for parkour practitioners.  Last weekend 14 people were seen just to the west of the yellow shed, jumping around on the hard surfaces and also on the benches and gardens.

The police were called, but appeared to take no action other that having a word with the parkour folk, who continued to jump on the benches and gardens while the police looked on.  It seems that there was nothing for the police to act upon in this case.

A resident later reported that the benches have been damaged as a direct result of parkour activities, and also that the large signage cube has been pushed closer to the benches, apparently to make it easier to jump to/from.

This matter is being raised with various committees and groups of the estate and the City.  If you have anything you'd like to add please write to the BEO or add a comment to this post.
