Just get yourself a genuine plastic tree and it saves all this palaver every year!

Maybe Southwark will use the cash from car parking charges to fund better cycling facilities - like Bike Parks and dedicated cycle lanes Win Win!!!

Can?t you get references? Is that why you have to get somebody else to do your cleaning? 😂😂😂

Let?s not forget all this started because Mr Ronnijade wanted to mark his annoyance at a local Primary school holding its annual money-raising kids? concert and general fun occasion, at a weekend and finishing by 7pm. Having been challenged, Mr Ronnijade then resorts to accusing someone sticking up for the rights of young children to have a bit of fun, while raising money for charity, of being motivated by being a paedophile. What could be the reason behind Mr Ronnijade?s bizarre behaviour?

Wow well I?m now subjected to abuse for being ?smartass and sarcastic? because you want to object to noise from a fun primary school event on ONE day of the year. Precisely the sort of petty middle-class, nimby, boring, intolerant attitude that risks East Dulwich being transformed into a dire place to live. If you can?t get joy out of young children enjoying themselves then take your bitter attitude and move somewhere else ....would be what many people would be thinking.

I was just about to congratulate Goodrich school on the recent dramatic reduction in noise levels associated with poorly supervised children in the outside areas of the school, running and jumping at will, when I realised that the cause of the noise reduction may well be the excessive holidays that staff and children are now enjoying. Doubtless the running, jumping and general Tomfoolery will now simply be transferred to our local parks which simply do not have the capacity to absorb thousands of poorly supervised young hooligans. It strikes me though that local councillors, here to help us,should take careful note if the improvement to East Dulwich ambience the school closure has achieved and give urgent consideration to educating these young people at secure residential accommodation a reasonable distance from East Dulwich - possibly up north!

People ought to stop having children - noisy, dirty, entitled, sweet munchers who stop me driving my car as fast as I want to and have a right to do after paying my taxes! Do these ?children? actually pay taxes? Of course not! These small scale outsiders seem to be more and more common on East Dulwich residential avenues - surely there must be something local councillors should be doing to limit the number of children before East Dulwich is overwhelmed?

Not sure who said ?we?re having a festival and if you don?t like it we don?t care? There was extensive consultation before this year?s festival took place, albeit that all the public consultation meetings were dominated by older, whiter residents who seemed to be part of a determined organised mob intent on trying to stop the Festival happening at all. This event uses about 20% of the park space for one weekend a year - or about slightly less than half a percent of available park space. And the part of the park used is actually the least used part which typically has about 4 dog walkers using it any particular time. Sometimes they pick up their dogs doings afterwards 😉 And it brings in money that is used to cover the cost of events like firework displays which reduce the risk from unregulated fireworks going off in our streets The noise levels are monitored and apparently within agreed limits? There was absolutely no trouble at the Festival when I was there - just a very friendly inclusive atmosphere People who attended were young, old, women, men, children and drawn from all parts of the community. Although I only went on Monday, Kelis was superb. Yet still NIMBYs moan on about non-existent problems. Sigh

Really great set by Kelis to finish off Jam on the Rye yesterday - on time and no trouble that I saw walking the 250m or so home Well done to everyone involved in organising such a brilliant festival in our own local park!

They?re going to put all the sticker-less brown bins in especially enlarged blue bins to be recycled at Southend by dumping them in the sea to obstruct any whales passing through the Channel

Only ?2 per hour - that?s not even the cost of a coffee in the cafe in the park At ?5 per hour there would be more money and we could have more than one measly festival Can?t wait for this evening though - brilliant to have acts like these a short walk from home

About an area 25m wide by max 65m. Or about 0.005% of the total park area. Renata any news about which bands are booked for next year yet? And are we still going to be limited to one measly festival on one weekend of the year? Something needs to be done by Southwark council about the lack of music opportunities - Afrobeat is the big opportunity I think!

Excellent news - really looking forward to next year?s event - hope they manage to book acts as good as last year. Good to see young people enjoying the park as well (as well as us old white would-be Rastamen).

Anyone know if the Herne Half Price Beer offer is still on?

Typical - out of towners from Peckham sabotaging our water supply
