Parents focus meet and greet with Cllr Lisa Rajan


Recommended Posts

Hi,


The Liberal Democrats will be in Peckham Rye, around the Caf? and One O?clock Club next Tuesday (25/08) at 12, speaking with parents and discussing how to make Peckham Rye a better place to bring up children. We have Councillor Lisa Rajan, the executive member for children's services on Southwark Council, coming along too; so this is your chance to speak directly with the council member responsible about issues which are important to you.


I know many parents have had issues with the admissions process for primary schools this year and so we'd really like to hear your experiences so we can work to ensure that any problems which can be sorted are done so for next year's applications. Ultimately, Peckham Rye needs more primary schools. Achieving this will take time and so we need to try to get things fixed in the meantime. Southwark Council has applied to the Government's Department for Children, Families and Schools for extra money which should help, if we're successful.


We also really want to hear people's views on the play facilities in Peckham Rye Park and if there's anything we can do to make things better.


Please come along and talk to us! If you can't make it please feel free to message me with any comments, or post them on here.

Laurie, many of us are concerned about the potential closure of Bojangles nursery on Upland Road, where more than 60 local kids aged 1 to 4 attend. We only found out about this today and they will be evicted from the current premises on 30 August. Details elsewhere on this forum.

Hi,


Yes I've heard about the nursery closure today. The Lib Dem councillors in East Dulwich ward are attending the meeting about this tonight, and are trying to sort something out asap. I will chase them up tomorrow and post an update on here as soon as I hear something.


Please though, if there's a shortage of nursery places, come along and tell Cllr Lisa Rajan on Tuesday. The more people who can add their voice, the more effective we'll be in changing things for the better.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
