PECKHAM VOICES


Do you live in Peckham and have a story to tell? Wherever you come from, whatever you do, if you live locally then we want to hear from you!


Let's start with the obvious, we reckon Peckham is pretty brilliant, and so we've set-up Peckham Voices to celebrate and honour all the stories and diverse experiences that make up our unique community. With the help of Southwark Council and Peckham Festival we'll be creating an online archive of Peckham's stories - from work, play, love, heritage and experiences of change - which we hope will promote the value of listening and preserve our local tales for years to come. All those who take part will be given CD / electronic copies of their interviews and a place in the public archive. Next year the stories will also feature as part of a wider exhibition at Copeland Gallery.


Over the Peckham Festival weekend we'll be recording your stories from our travelling booth. Take part by booking a slot at one of the sessions below. We look forward to seeing you for a chat! If you cant make any of the dates below we are happy to arrange slots beyond the festival


September 8th: Peckham Liberal Club 2pm - 8pm


September 9th: Peckhamplex 10am - 4pm


September 10th: Peckham All Saints Church 10am - 4pm


September 11th: Blenheim Arches 10am - 2pm


Book your interview slot by emailing [email protected]

      New homes vs inferstructure

      By Spartacus · Posted

      There are "plans" to build more reservoirs, with physical work yet to be started, with the first hoped to be completed by 2036, and a second by 2040, then time is needed for them to fill so add at least another 12 months on. However, if the 1.5 million homes are built by 2028, each averaging 2 people occupying them.(some will be more, some will be less) then thats 3 million people showering, bathing and using water.  Therefore there is a massive demand that will strain our current inferstructure between 2028 and 2037 (nearly ten years) plus all those homes will need electricity, as the ambition is to phase gas usage out, which will take just as much time to reinforce the network to cover, let alone add in the ability to cope with green production electricity that needs to be moved from wind and solar farms to where it is most needed.  Therefore, is the current plan to build more homes, regardless of where they are,  potentially going to have serious ramifications on already creaking networks ?

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Cheers for that. Surprising to see it's over 25 years since it closed.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Definitely this. I'm really quite shocked at my naivety when I look back. As for feeling safe in central London, after many, many years of working there and thriving, I don't feel quite so safe now. I think though that spending a lot more time in the relative peace of East Dulwich since retiring, the noise and speed of everything in central London has become a shock to the system and I'm disoriented. More so north of the river.
