Save The Railings Around The Bowie (Lazarus) Bandstand in Beckenham

To Save the railings that have surrounded the bandstand for well over three quarters of its time there at Croydon Road Recreation Ground in Beckenham BR3 3PR.

Why is this important?

Why is this important?

It's important as the railing have protected the bandstand up to now- they were also in place when David Bowie co-organised and performed at a festival there.

It is through the bandstand's link to David Bowie that money is being raised to restore it. The railings have been the protective arms around The Bowie/Lazarus Bandstand even to this day and long may this continue.

I've organised two festivals there (13th of August 2016 as well as august 12th 2017) to raise funds to restore the bandstand as well as place a plaque there for David Bowie and everyone involved in the 1969 festival. They played an important role and with your help the bandstand's long history will continue.
Help us keep the railings in place. Please sign and share this petition. If anyone can help do this it's the David Bowie fans!

These railing were surrounding the bandstand when Bowie co-organised the 1969 festival and should remain there helping to protect it as it has been for many, many years, bandstands are disappearing around the country as are the railings around them, so let's keep this one as unique as the person it's now named after, there was only one David Bowie and there's only one Bowie Bandstand!

Please note this is not an attack on the council on any other parties involved. It's about keeping history in a time when so much of it is becoming lost or damaged.
