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)

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?

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
