Does anyone know why some of Rye Oak Primary School's 1900 buildings have been pulled down to make way for a New Early Years Centre? And what are the council executives plans, if any, for the green space in front of the Old Nunshead where the old Early Years centre still is?


Why did the Council Executive decide to go ahead without the proposals being put forward for consultation or any engagement with the wider community. Apparently they only consulted parents with children currently at the centre.


Would they behave the same way in other areas?


Should they not have thought about expanding the facilities at Rye Oak so as to provide Nunhead & Peckham Rye with a primary school whose local support and new facilities would give it a chance to develop into a stronger primary school

According to this, consultation was planned with Rye Oak staff, parents and children, Nunhead Green staff, parents and children, Play service staff, parents and children, immediate residents and Children Centre practitioners and partners.

Interesting, Sounds a lot, but in fact most of the children are at the centre are between 1 & 6 and at the school 5 & 10...so that?s daft.


As for the staff - they are certainly not all Nunhead residents, as for immediate residents I would love to know what that means - friends living opposite had no idea? So really a comprehensive list boils down to............not really a consultation?


Doing some other research it seems that Local council members were not even informed - How the hell does that happen? Surely someone has a duty to tell someone? Who?s on this bleeding executive?

AFN, I never thought that I might agree with you (!), but consultation should have at least included local councillors. There may be a bigger issue about education resources in the area and any consultation needs to also look at the wider area and long term strategies.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
