Hi, not really in East Dulwich I know, but it seems a few of these threads are Peckham related so I'll try my luck...does anyone know about when the Bussey Building/Copeland Quarter is expected to be developed and the front of Peckham Rye Station for that matter? Is there a timeline or is it still 'pie in the sky'?


Thanks

I'm pretty sure it's only a pipe dream at the moment. Peckham Vision have drawn up plans but I think that's as far as it has got. Until Boris became elected as major, the Lib Drem council's great plan was to sell it off for a massive 24 hour tram depot maintenance yard - thank godness that folly was averted.

Whilst the plans on the Peckham Vision web site all look very interesting, I am so glad it's a thriving artists community now (from what I have read) within the Bussey Building. Are visitors allowed into the Building to view the artists' works or are they private studios? Or maybe this is on an individual basis perhaps?

It would be make a lovely Peckham Assembly Rooms, like in Bath or Lincoln but more Peckhamish.


Would be perfect for language swapping, teaching and learning venue as so many languages are spoken within half a mile of the site. Peckham's rich language resources and talents aren't recognised or exploited. Stop a trader or random shopper along Rye Lane and there's a good chance they will speak three or four languages. In a resident of say, Kensington, this would be applauded as a marker of talent, value and virtue. In SE15, it means they're a dodgy foreigner. Odd.


Lots of people living and working here who want/need to improve their English but can't get the practice, and lots of people across London who want/need to learn another language but can't afford the rising fees/find a local or convenient class/ever get enough practice to speak fluently. Should be able to bring them together somehow.

Some is pie and some is more ... The Peckham Vision website has just been revamped. You can find a good summary of the known time lines for the key issues for the town centre here. Those of us working on all this from residents' perspectives have made significant progress now in bringing the Old Waiting Room at the station back to life. So half way between pie in the sky and pie on the plate.


Today (Sat 26th June) there was a wonderful summer party all day on the Bussey roof with local musicians and local barbecue and the usual panoramic views. See Peckham Residents' Network (PRN) blog for what that was. Sorry I didn't see this earlier to post the info. It is the CLF Art Cafe in the Bussey under Mickey Smith that organises events on the roof. You can get his weblinks from the post on the blog to follow future events.


Hannah Barry Gallery and Frank's Cafe return to the multi storey car park from 30 June. see PRN blog for details.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
