Excellent suggestions all, and tremendous collaborative community spirit. As the founding and currently only member of the Off-Peak Path Walking Club I wholeheartedly second Maxxi's suggestion of "a poorly-lit, graffiti-adorned, piss-smelling subway...to provide the area with some much needed 'edge'. For Off-Peak Walking such a subway adds much desired je ne sais quoi. Baggs - You are quite right. My solution is, in fact, half-baked, as it takes no consideration whatsoever of the troublesome sticky gate, or ON-PEAK Walkers. Forgive me for coming on The Forum with clearly such a self-centred viewpoint with no consideration for the needs of others. Walking along the path in question in Off-Peak faux-privacy has clearly gone to my head, and I momentarily developed delusions of the whole area being solely dedicated for my enjoyment. Yours apologetically, H.

I agree. This is an outrage. Not once, BUT TWICE, I have had to stand aside to save my ankles whilst Scootering children are enjoying themselves far too much. It is as if they think they are in a public park! Now, I love solving a problem such as this for the greater good of the community so I thought long and hard about path management and came up with a break-through concept, which I admit, I believe you might get quite excited about - The OFF-PEAK Path Walker. You see, I am now an OFF-PEAK Path Walker, and since the day I had my ankle-saving epiphany it's as if Goose Green and the treacherous path in question is now my own private thoroughfare. Walking heaven. To the community of East Dulwich and The Forum: The Goose Green Path Management in Peak Hours Problem is now SOLVED! And for those of you who are interested in becoming an Off-Peak Path Walker, the Off-Peak Path Walking club meets at 06:30 every first Monday of the month. New members always welcome. I thank you all. H.
