Really sorry tohear this - incredibly unlucky and very unusual for both Dulwich and Peckham parks. (I have been a dog owner 12 years and never had any experience of this) what sorts of dogs were they? I’m assuming not the same each time - and did you see the owners? I wonder if there is someone new to the area - will def keep an eye out going forward . I do hope your pup is ok.
I would ask for more info from the estate agent about what private owners have been presented with in the last 10 years. Ask for specifics - They can will say any old guff. It’s things like roof repairs which may not affect you directly but which you are responsible for paying a share of which can be pretty £££. Good luck!
I’m afraid it’s not uncommon now - hospitality is having it very tough with spiralling costs and staffing issues- imagine buying in food and getting staff in for customers who don’t show up - they are not be greedy but protecting their business.
No there was a case of a wiemaraner being poisoned on Peckham rye but this was a couple of years ago..
the rat traps popped around the park are very clearly marked and tend to be around the ponds inside the railings
don’t know enough about the stagnant water, but the main pond (and wildlife garden pond) are behind railings so should not be a problem. The other stream areas are clear running water so should be fine?
I cannot stand him - and I am old school labour. His behaviour and demeanour at the CPZ consultations spoke volumes. He has wasted £k’s on consultations - the results of which were then ignored. The postage costs of materials that arrived after the shut off dates ( plus loads that were never received at all). His utter disregard for people who are disabled or do not have ready access to public transport, plus the numerous caregivers who get no more pay for sitting in gridlock.
Could they not just invest in things like filling in the potholes their beloved cyclists come acropper on, investing in the dog kennel hill playground buildings, instead of these bonkers vanity projects?
spend less on the endless consultations (which are then ignored)
I totally get that the council's have had their funding slashed but it just seems weird that there are so many vanity projects versus real probems with solutions. I spent today in traffic jams (sorry but I am self employed whizzing around various clients carrying files) I cannot see how stationary traffic on parts of the south circular, along brockwell park and in dulwich village are helping to combat polution. Sort the pot holes on Dog Kennel Hill bus/bike lane before someone comes acropper
But that is exactly what is happening - all the schools and nursery on East Dulwich grove are getting more pollution. The closed off roads are the more expensive areas with larger front gardens!
