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.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then?
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
