Hi,


We are relatively new to the area, and I am still figuring out all the things to do with my toddler locally. In this heat, a really local childrens paddling pool would have been fantastic, but I have foubd it a bit of a mission to get to ones around here, either because the bus always has two buses on it (getting back from Herne Hill), or they dont open til later in the day, or take too long to get to given my one year old has the attention span of a knat and tends to be happy in one place for relatively short periods.


I was just wondering whether anyone knows why there isn't a water play area in Dulwich Park or Peckham Rye Park, and if there isn't a known reason, whether anyone has tried to ask the council to consider one?


I know money is very tight for councils, but I would certainly be willing to put money into a fund to build a water play area in either of these parks if lots of others were similarly interested, and would be willing to make enquiries with the council....if this hasn't already been done!


I did try to search to see if this has been discussed before but came across a million adverts for blow up paddling pools so didnt get that far theough the list.


Thanks for your replies in advance.

Have you tried Myatt's Fields water play or Ruskin Park paddling pool?

Further away, but the fountains at Somerset House, Granary Square in King Cross and More London at London Bridge are all good fun too for younger children. Perhaps as part of a bigger day out.

I imagine that money is the obstacle to creating a more local facility. Especially as they are only really used for 3 months of the year. Possible perhaps, with a really big fundraising campaign and grant applications?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
