Festival Peckham Rye - (Latin American festival)


Recommended Posts

Went with family. Good fun - very Latino with no concession to any non Spanish speakers. Obviously set up for Latin American population of London. Music, food and drink all excellent. Sitting in the sun, listening to a Columbian band, first eating churros and chocolate and then drinking Mojitos made for a good afternnon. Overall a better festival feel than the Lambseth Couty Show yestyerday in Brockwell Park - tho' the better weather may have had an effect.

Very nice and all that, but when was the last time that cars were allowed to park on the Rye? (Apart from those with circuses, fairs etc.) Can't remember a time. Should we all try it when parking is a bit tricky at the bottom of Barry Road, and see how far we get? Nero

I stumbled across the festival while taking my baby out for his usual 4pm walk... thought it was excellent. I resisted the food but it smelt fantastic, and there seemed to be a really positive feeling about the whole thing. From what I could see there was quite a large police presence, but they appeared to be wandering round happily so I'm gathering it had been a peaceful day.

    • But you have to assess whether these persistent drivers are creating more safety issues than diverting emergency vehicles on a longer route and clearly they are not. The fact members of the pro-closure lobby have built their argument on this actually shows how desperate, some would say selfish, they are to have the junction closed and just the way they want it. And unfortunately they seem to have the council over a barrel on something as the council weakly concedes to their position without hesitation. Was this not borne from an FOI that said one of the emergency services confirmed that they had not been consulted on the new DV design that Cllr Leeming then said was actually a mistake by the emergency services - and then it's a case of whether you believe Cllr Leeming or not....and his track record is hardly unblemished when it comes to all things LTNs?
    • A song thrush visited my back garden today. I watched as it smashed open a snail by whacking it against the patio.
    • I have no doubt that local people are genuinely involved (and personally can understand their not wanting to publicise their involvement). That said the proliferation of One groups across London and the degree of co-ordination suggests it is more than just a local grassroots group. I’m not really that interested, except that many of their supporters do bang on about transparency and accountability. I would be interested in the substance of their latest missive. Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Who genuinely believes that people are partially covering their plates and driving through due to inadequate signage? Sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. It feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes tbh.
