Hi dirac, the Friends of Peckham Rye Park are volunteers but the Quadron gardeners (who also work in the South Cemeteries as well as parks) are not. If you are interested in becoming involved with the FOPRP or want more information about them, look at their website:


http://www.peckhamryepark.org/friends-of-peckham-rye-park/


They will be having their annual fete and dog show on Saturday 3rd September.


Sorry, I don't know about the bees.

Just been on one of my walks and took in Peckham Rye.


What a pleasure that place is.. I visited the Wild Meadow near Peckham Rye / Strakers Rd. were the old Paddling Pool used to be. (1950's) Wild Flowers like Evening Prinrose. A sanctuary for Bees.. Butterflies.. Moths.. and other insects.


The park is so interesting with avenues of old trees.. a pond with Geese and Ducks.. Sexby Gardens.. beautiful Flower Beds.. an enclosed Picnic area which is Dog free.. Plenty of other space to exercise dogs.. A Cafe..


Also many open spaces for Sports and Recreaion. And plenty of seats around the park to just sit and relax.


The Park Staff are amazing.. We are all very lucky to have this facility on our doorstep.

I too recently went on a walk around the common and the park, and concur with the above sentiments. The main entrance off the common has returned to its previous former glory days of the early 1950's. Stunning bedding plants and a beautiful display. I would love to see a small museum about the history of the park, and perhaps some signs to point out the location of the old Homestall Farmhouse and where it was in conjunction with the present day park.

Thank you for that.. I was really concerned .. I feel happier knowing the team know how to deal with this awful stuff.

It is probly worse when it is near property and easier to deal with in isolation.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
