I was walking past Halls & Co Solicitors this evening (399 Lordship Lane) at 8pm to see a homeless guy covered in a blanket in the doorway next to the Costcutters shop.It really did upset me to think that someone was sleeping in such a poor uncovered space within a major road. Has anyone seen this guy here before? :(

i myself have been homeless and its awfull, but true some dont want help.... i was to proud to ask or approach anyone for help for a few months... i was living in brighton at the time.... found a nice spot on the beach nr the david lloyd gym, that had a big bit of grass with a dip sheltering from the wind that was hidden from the public eye! couldnt bare to go public the shame!! :(


anyway i managed to find a local mail box outside a house and so used my brain and used that address to go to the job centre and register myself as jobless to get jsa....i got it and could then apply for housing bennefit and was then able to go and find myself a room....but im a strong willed proud person.... most dont have this drive, and i was put thier due to bad personal circumstances and finding out i didnt have the good friends i thought i once had and no help was abvailable!

not eveyone that is homeless is thier due to thier own fault but alot wont take the help offered! i also went to charing cross every saturday evening and gave outalot of food to the homeless thier with a good christian group..... feltvery satisfying to help them....


but thier there are charitys that offer help..that help to get them on to jsa and houseing and can help find landlords that will take tennants on housing and the charitys pu the deposit up! really really nice of them and im sure is available in london..... i do feel for them i really do but id never give money.... they might use it for alcohol and drugs which isnt going to help them...... id offer food and drink but even thats been turned down before can u believe!

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
