A huge thank you to the thousands of people who turned up today to share the sun and join in with Goose Green Primary School's Carnival and Summer Fair. We estimate that over two thousand people joined with us to celebrate the fantastic achievements of this local primary school.

Thank you to all the mums, dads, carers, teachers and children who helped make this the biggest and best Carnival Parade and Fair ever! And a special thank you to the London Fire Brigade for coming and showering us all with cool water in the midday sun.

Thank you Ann for your lovely comments! Yes, we were all very conscious to do a through clean up but as the old saying goes 'many hands make light work' and the PTA carnival committee was able to retire to the pub by 6pm after clearing the green - which was only possible due to all the volunteers who helped to clear up - not to mention the fantasitic volunteer drivers who loaded things in the van (donated by John Allen flowers) and took things back to the school. It was a fantastic day - great atmosphere with kids, parents, teachers, residents all joining in the fun. Thanks to all the community for your support of Goose Green Primary School!

It was great that Southwark Council, for the first time, managed to get recycling containers to the Green for our fair. And they did come at the end of the day to collect all the black bin bags so that the foxes can't get into them over night and the rubbish blows all over the Green.


It'd be great to have one of those recycling containers on the Green permanently.

    • Thanks Penguin. It could be a coincidence. But after years of road safety being on the local agenda they finally put the crossings in months before Dulwich Estates regain the lease on The Grove.   The Estate understands there is strong local interest in improving this area and we hope to be in a position to share some exciting updates in the near future. The temporary skatepark will remain unaffected. “Temporary skatepark” is telling.    
    • Back to my earlier post about familiarity.  I was in Croydon this afternoon walking between the two main stations.  Didn't feel unsafe, but there were some 'interesting' characters on the street.  Not that any were bothered with me. Not a place I'd choose to go for a bit of a fun.  Although having said that West Croydon has some cracking restaurants and the wonderfully named Saints and Sinners bar, where I once went on a corporate do - not that I did many of these. Whoops just checked and it closed a few months ago. Back on track, I never went to the Castle as I felt it was a bit rough.  How wrong was I?  Only real pub left in the area.
    • Wow Sue! I was reading your post with interest as I’ve never really felt unsafe in London and I was born here. It was just your last paragraph that derailed me and totally changed the subject matter! So unnecessary.
