Does GG need improving? It's a small patch of land. Common sense suggests that it'll be used more in the summer than the winter and mostly by families, young people and dog walkers. People walking and cycling to go about their business will use it as a cut through. Provided people can be persuaded to stop littering (including but not limited to dog fouling, broken glass, human food waste) and provided those on cycle don't hurtle through, is the park not pretty much fit for function as it is?


I've always thought of the children's play area as separate and see that this needs funding for maintenance, upgrading etc..

I hope that's what you have put on the form.


It's all well and good complaining about this that and the other (not meaning you here of course just generally). There is an opportunity to put your views forward. Don't be ignoring it to later complain "no one asked us".

I note out of 3 times they saw a dog pooing, 1 case the owner didn't pick it up (they seem to thinks that's GOOD)


40 amounts of dog litter were counted at an event held on June 22, 2009

37 amounts of dog litter were counted at an event held on March 2, 2009



I wouldn't take my children there since they let dogs run free

fuschia, you seem to have a very limited range of free time occupations. precise numbers of errant dog poos on named dates. seems like cobblers to me, love. the overwhelming number of dog-walkers are diligent in picking up. methinks you may be a member of the anti-dog gestapo, an accusation you will, of course, now deny.

Davidh, dear, you might have got that all wrong, darling. Still, I wouldn't waste the small amount of free time you have worrying your pretty little head about it.



3. Education Events: Flag the Poo: Two 'Flag the Poo' events took place at Goose Green between March and July 2009. 'Flag the Poo' is a campaign that uses bright orange flags as a way of highlighting the incidence of dog fouling. Events are targeted in areas where dog fouling is known to be an issue. Education leaflets on dog fouling are subsequently distributed to local households.

I am quoting from the consultation document

Just a thought but how about cordoning off a bit of the Green and setting the bus stop slightly back from the road (the one on the Goose Green side of East Dulwich Rd), it's so cramped there when people are waiting for a bus and pedestrians are trying to walk through... might be nice to ring an area so that the stop can be set back from the narrow pavement. It would mean losing a bit of the green but only a smidgen.


Will add to the consultation.

Interesting that the consultation document doesn't propose replacing the fence that previously diagnonally bisected the Green along the path, but instead proposes a possible small dog-free area.


I would prefer to keep the whole of the Green open to everyone, but increase the number of checks and clean-ups.


I also suggested the Green would be improved by adding planting around the edges, to reduce the impact of the traffic.

I would prefer the green to again be split in two, poo area and no poo area.

Also, the FIDO and flag-a-slag days seem to indicate that at any one time last summer there were 40 odd turds on the Green (inclusing the little bit by the mural).


FIDO were coming 2-3 times a week, so we could extrapolate perhaps 10-14 dumps a day. That's not a lot of owners - making enforcement possible?

      Cyclist visibility

      By Angelina · Posted

      If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.

      The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised.

      Dulwich Leisure Centre - cold showers today - update

      yes.. I think it has. I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      Mad that on a thread about the telegraph (and are we saying they  are a paragon of reporting? Are we?) it just happens to be the bbc and only the bbc copping the flak headnun - I’m not sure your point about despicable people “hanging themselves” holds up in a world where despicable people appear to be taking over in so many places  for too long, these people have been given equal airtime to normal people, creating a false equivalence - the result being a lot of people seem to think “well if one person thinks smoking is bad for you and one person thinks it’s good for you, who am I to say who is right and wrong”
