I doubt it was the council. The page you mention is at http://southwarkmagazine.com/news/8275/Occupiers-reach-for-Peckham-Levels. The mag. itself is a private one, unconnected with the council. The subsidisers appear to be the Peckham Levels project, http://www.peckhamlevels.org/about/, which was awarded to Make Shift Community Ltd, http://www.makeshift.org/. I see that Make Shift similarly offered a limited number of subsidised places in Brixton Pop, another of their temporary projects.


Peckham Levels Ltd is wholly owned by Make Shift Community Ltd. Make Shift has two active entities with significant control: (1) Mr Carl Turner (2) The Collective Partners LLP (which holds at least 75% of shares) The Collective Partners LLP has one active person with significant control: Mr Reza Mohammad Merchant. All according to Companies House.


Southwark is the landlord and enabler. Possibly that's all? Wherever it was advertised, they seem to have got the applicants: http://www.peckhamlevels.org/blog-1/2017/6/28/countdown-to-launch. There's a useful Southwark News summary too, at http://londonbulletin.co.uk/gentrification-of-peckham-continues-as-car-park-plans-reach-new-level-p2978-271.htm.


Remember when it was just the site of a Sunday morning boot sale?

Thanks Ian - an interesting set of onion layers uncovered there.


I have a degree of confidence that HMRC can find its way through this and ensure the correct tax is being paid.

      I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels

      There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.

      Plans for 174, Rye lane, Peckham (former Asda site)

      I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
