Support our campaign to unlock Nunhead Reservoir for the community

Letter 1 text, editable Dear Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I am writing as a constituent about the continued restricted access to Nunhead Reservoir, a significant open space in our part of London. Nunhead Reservoir offers one of the finest views of the city and the potential to be a genuine haven for relaxation and connection. Access to green space is well evidenced to improve mental and physical health, reduce stress, and strengthen community ties. The security of our water supply is paramount, and nobody in this campaign disputes that. But Honor Oak, a covered reservoir run by the same company, has a golf club on its leased land, which shows that a balance is possible. It is disheartening that a space of this value stays locked away from the community it sits in the middle of. I would be grateful if you would support the Friends of Nunhead Reservoir campaign and help make the case for sustainable public access. The campaign is asking for four pre-booked open days a year, community clean-ups, and a local committee working in partnership with Thames Water. Thank you for your time. I would welcome your response. Best regards, [Your full name] [Your address and postcode]

Let us reopen Nunhead Reservoir for the people who live around it

Letter 2 text, editable Dear Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I am writing to ask for your support for the campaign to open public access to Nunhead Reservoir. Our communities deserve fair access to open space, and Nunhead Reservoir is fenced off and out of reach. That is hard to square with the Honor Oak reservoir, where the leased land above the water doubles as a golf course. London is losing open space year on year. Nunhead Reservoir could be a genuine refuge, with a view over the whole city and room to breathe. The Friends of Nunhead Reservoir campaign has put forward practical proposals that balance security with access: pre-booked visits, seasonal open days, and volunteer clean-ups before each one. Please support us in asking Thames Water to work with residents and the local authority to unlock this space. I look forward to hearing your view. Yours sincerely, [Your full name] [Your address and postcode]

Nunhead Reservoir: unlocking its potential for the community

Letter 3 text, editable Dear Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I am writing to ask for your help in securing public access to Nunhead Reservoir. For years the reservoir has been a hidden treasure: a panoramic view of London and a natural place for people to gather. Its fences and restricted access have taken that away. The Friends of Nunhead Reservoir campaign proposes a collaborative and modest approach — scheduled open days, community-led clean-ups, and wellbeing activities such as nature walks, stargazing and yoga. All of it pre-booked, all of it supervised, none of it a threat to the security of the site. Please join us in asking for a solution that works for Thames Water and for the people who live here. Thank you for your attention to this. I would greatly appreciate your response. Warm regards, [Your full name] [Your address and postcode]

Nunhead Reservoir: a space worth sharing

Letter 4 text, editable Dear Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I am writing in support of the Friends of Nunhead Reservoir campaign, and to ask for your help in making the case for public access to it. London's open spaces are under real pressure, which makes protecting and sharing the ones we have more important, not less. Nunhead Reservoir, with its view across the city and its quiet, could be a space where people of all ages come together. At the moment it is closed off entirely. The security of water infrastructure matters, but there are workable answers — Honor Oak reservoir being the obvious local example, where the leased land above the water is in regular use. Please lend your voice to this campaign and help us work with Thames Water to unlock Nunhead Reservoir. Thank you for considering this. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, [Your full name] [Your address and postcode]

Unlock Nunhead Reservoir: balancing security and community needs

Letter 5 text, editable Dear Miatta Fahnbulleh MP, I am writing as a concerned resident to ask for your support for the Friends of Nunhead Reservoir campaign, which is seeking public access to this open space. Nunhead Reservoir has long been one of the best views in London, and a peaceful place for anyone who managed to get up there. It is disappointing that somewhere so valuable now feels closed off entirely. The campaign is not asking for security to be compromised. It is asking for a balance: pre-booked visits, seasonal open days, and community-led activities that let people enjoy the site while it stays safe. If Honor Oak reservoir can serve as both a water resource and a golf course, it is reasonable to ask why Nunhead cannot offer something similar on a far smaller scale. Your support could help bring about an answer that works for the community and for Thames Water. I hope you will champion it. Thank you for your time. I would be grateful for any update on how you are able to help. Kind regards, [Your full name] [Your address and postcode]
