Does anyone knows more about this?


What feels now like many, many moons ago, I put in two consecutive Cleaner, Greener, Safer tenders for funding to get some sort of water play put in at the park - we were awarded money from both bids - can't recall how much now but it seemed like a lot at the time. I know some was used to get rid of the old derelict pool, (sad, but it was decided it was in a bad location for a number of reasons), and the rest was to be used for some sort of new water play. Last I knew they were waiting to see what was happening with the 1 o'clock club, but it did sound like that was where the water play was going to go. It's taken this long - 4/5 years I'd say to finally get it started but reading the sign that was up the other day it does sound as if that is what is now happening - rennovation of the play area to include some sort of water play.


I'm really pleased, but no longer a part of the process, and my contacts at the council are no longer there so I'm wondering if anyone knows exactly what is being done?


I know there has been talk about whether the 1 o'clock club was in danger of closing, but this work/investment seems to suggest otherwise I hope.

There were plans circulating for some works which included relocating the swing park into the one o'c club area


There were no works re water play included though


I will look for the message or ask renata hemvAs?


Unfortunately capital investment now doesn't mean there won't be revenue cuts In future

From the map on the link above, it looks as though the water feature is fairly low key, more natural than those at say, Brockwell Park (although I understand this one is being revamped, not sure how). But the map doesn't really give that much away - would be helpful if someone who knew more detail (Renata?? Vicky???) could post.

We went to a couple of meetings last year organised by Friends of Peckham Rye where we looked at plans for a 'natural play area' which was going to extend the current one o clock club - some info below which suggests planning permission has only just been granted. There is mention of a water feature.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
