skateboarding at the Grove Pub car park


Recommended Posts

I would just like to make a quick post about the unused space of the old grove pub. At the start of May a couple of us started clearing the two unused carparks of all its rubbish and glass on the floor. since then it has changed rapidly into a abit of a community project to make it as good as possible to skate. We have all collectively tried to keep people breaking in to the actual pub and tried to make everyone walking past feel welcomed to come and have a chat or even help out. Id just like to mention this space has been unused for 8 years.We have spoken to the police alot and they have been fine with us skating there for minimal complaints. The land owners are threatening to come in and have to knock our stuff down in order to get equipment in to make the pub more secured.


We have creatively turned an unused space into something much more valuable than most things can even account for.

I?ve signed the petition... These lads cleaned up a derelict wasteland and turned it into something positive. There?s some real community spirit at the grove diy. It?s a good thing. Will be a shame to have it destroyed only to turn back into a wasteland.

Signed. This is an opportunity for the estate to actually do something positive by doing virtually nothing, let's hope they take it.

Might be worth getting a Councillor involved?

I'm very local and if you're improving an eyesore, which you are, then crack on.

oh please i live right next door to the pub these lads r doing nothing wrong they are very polite and helpful group. They are trying to build a community where kids can go. If the land owners are so worried why dont they do something its a eye sore living next to it. And when the travellers where there we could not even open our front doors. These lads keep it clean and tidy and are no bother. Allow them to keep doing what there doing.

And dont listen to the few complaints u got cos i can tell you whos complained

Signed - it?s been great to see some people making use of this while the Dulwich Estate lets it rot away until they finally browbeat Southwark into submission for a luxury flat development. Have you spoken to Andy Simmons - I think this is still in his area as councillor and he?s always been helpful on stuff like this in the past?

    • Do also remember that, whilst this is the original there is an unrelated FB presence with a (very) similar name, which might also be prayed in aid. 
    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.
