The whole car park is to become a children's playground with a water feature and sandpit so I'm told !

As for the new diddy car park as I said before in an old threading it is rediculous !

People park but can't get their doors open properly as the spaces arnt wide enough, one woman today couldn't get her kids and pram out once she had pulled in and had to leave the pram in the road to get her child out . It's so small there is going to be an accident .she came from brockley before anyone says she should have walked !

Saturday should be interesting !

As for disabled parking it is far to far away from the cafe .

Ok so I have a Blue Badge, but have seen frail peeps for whom walking obviously a huge effort using the cafe, and taking ages to get to/from maybe a family member's or friend's car in the present carpark. These usually older people with mobility issues probably don't own a car but an outing to the park is a big occaision-like me they wd never manage from the new carpark Speaking for myself when I am particularly poorly we still try get out of the house, and a quick snack in a nearby place where I can enjoy wide green views and watch kids play is great for my frame of mind.

I agree ,I use to take my mum there for a coffee as it was easy for her to get out in the old car park as she is elderly and has mobility problems. She would enjoy looking out onto the common watching everything going on , but it is now too far for her to walk to the cafe from the new car park and it is very small too.

They've made a complete pigs ear of disabled parking. A large area facing the car park is closed off by temporary heras fencing around the new playground site, forcing anyone who wants to get to the cafe to go way down around the back of the old 1 o'clock club huts and around to the front to the cafe entrance, quite a hike if you have mobility issues. There is a direct route from the new car park to the cafe, via the old car park site, which I used back in May or early June. This cut-through is also enclosed by heras fencing, but a gate has since been installed and is now kept locked. The fencing seems to separate the site from the access route, so couldn't it be left unlocked?

Also, some temporary signage giving directions would be helpful as that car park does feel in the middle of nowhere, disconnected from the rest of the Rye.

Indeed Muley - and it has messed up the connection between the cycle route that crosses from Friern Road and passes in front of the cafe - I used to be able to cycle accross the car park snd from there join the other cycle route up to the junction of Peckham Rye East and Holmstall Road


Now the options are to go along the narow path behind the One o'clock club or cut up through the park and use the Woodland Walk

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
