Yep that one.


I may be wrong but I am picking up on a certain undertone or sarcasm, obviously I may be wrong, in which case I apologise.


However, do bare in mind that people's enthusiasm for the actual playground may not be too high based on it not actually being fully open yet? And no indication a to when.

Well I think it's probably this (and others too) forum rather than the 'world at large' Moos.


Fair point steve, my nippers have been playng 'around' the cordened off areas for months, wondering when they would get to have full use. I think it's a bit of a shame and a tease on the kids to not get in and JFDI quickly.

Crap British work ethic.

Not to be non-PC here, and I may be wrong, but from what I've heard/read regarding the funding et all of the revamp, someone somewhere has paid ?800,000 for the renovations, when at best I've seen 3 guys digging around, sweeping up debris and throwing it into the grass and generally just living in the middle of the park in the caravan they brought with them.


Strangely reminiscent of the guys that got nicked re-paving my old neighbours driveway a fair few years back.

You are wrong, it isn't ?800,000 for the revamp. I believe it's around the ?240,000 mark and that's for when it's fully finished ie with additional kiddie swings and a other things, not its current state.


It's been delayed for 'elf and safety reasons, the inspector needs a few changes made before he can pass it.

As I said, I may be wrong........about the amount........I'm not however, wrong about the builders.


If it's delayed for good old wrap you in bubble wrap and safety, how come they haven't done more to keep the little'uns out?

Probably best to ask the builders who are loitering around, I expect they'll know more.

Ah right, I assumed the towers/wooden bit had been opened. One man with a wheelbarrow working on it periodically yesterday. A big group of kids from Goose Green Primary were there having a summer picnic and all they could do was peer at the wooden towers through a fence.

    • True.  And I'll have a look online. Thank you for the explanation. I have just googled, and that is indeed the case with certain weeds. I had no idea that this could happen, so thank you.     The below is apparently all Southwark Council has to say. They don't say why they remove weeds, just that they do, and how. They've got a lot more to say about Japanese Knotweed, which does indeed cause problems, but which they don't remove! However I've never noticed any round here.  
    • It's probably less of a priority for them than it appears to be for the OP! Nobody is saying that local businesses are not part of the community. But in the context of this thread, there is a clear distinction between local businesses set up to make a profit for individuals and local non profit organisations set up to help groups and individuals in the community. What has living in social housing got to do with anything? And who is forcing anybody to "accept a secondary definition" or telling anybody to "shut up"?
    • Whilst I agree this is unlikely to be some plot, individual drivers may not have evidence of the time parking suspension notices were put up.
    • Were you affected or are you fighting the battle of others?  If penalties are wrongly given then the owners will surely have appropriate evidence to appeal.  And if this is a systematic error then it will not continue.  I doubt if there are masterminds plotting this.
