Organisers of a music festival on a Sidcup farm have postponed the event with less than a month to go following backlash from local residents and authorities. Neighbours feared days of "utter lawlessness and debauchery" after claiming to have witnessed men urinating, smoking cannabis and inhaling laughing gas outside their homes during previous events at the farm. BecksFest was advertised to take place on July 5 and 6 this year at Beck Evans Farm in Water Lane.

Bromley Council sold the 6.74 acre site to Galliard Homes in April for £13.5 million. Bromley Palace, the Grade II listed manor house next to the former civic centre site, was included in the sale but Bromley Palace Park remains in public ownership. Galliard revealed its plans to convert two of the centre’s office buildings into flats last month, and the feedback from residents hasn’t been positive. As of June 13, both proposals have received at least 24 objections.
