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.

    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
