Falling timber seems to be following me around - a large branch has split from the trunk of a plane tree and fallen (about 30 mins or so ago) onto the pavement outside the old Curry Cabin - tried to contact relevant Southwark dept but nothing seems to be open unless someone has another number. Don't think the rest of the tree is dangerous but I'm no wood doctor.

Hi again, Maxxi... two quick updates.


Firstly, I noticed that the cut up branch was stacked in the Curry Cabin forecourt for most of yesterday, but was removed by the end of the day. But I haven't heard anything formal from the tree team yet.


Secondly, someone PMd me to say that it was witnessed that the branch was broken off by a lorry (am being specifically vague in public), so hopefully the dry weather wasn't a significant factor.


Thanks yet again for posting this, will update when I know more specifics.

I've now heard back from the tree officer... sadly, the split in the trunk of the tree runs too far down, so the tree will definitely have to be removed before it dies and becomes a safety hazard... probably in August sometime.


Have asked to plant a new replacement, but there are technical issues that need to be overcome...

    • @first mate I assume Alice made a mistake, as she removed her reaction.  I was wondering about park wardens. As I said, there was one there last night, who was incredibly helpful and proactive. As well as bringing me to the police, he caught up with a young guy on a bike who'd earlier been the victim of an attempted theft by these kids and linked him up with the police too. But I do wonder, as I've only very occasionally seen him riding around, how many they have and what hours they patrol. I've no doubt they'd be a strong deterrent if they had a better presence. They were nowhere to be seen the first time around. 
    • Some of us oldies would associate Grove with the old Grove Vale School (which I went to in the 1950s)
    • The toilets at this spot in the park have been vandalised to such an extent that they are now closed.
    • Hello! I'm looking for 2-3 baby gates I can borrow from 17th August - 6th September for a visitor.  Does anyone have any I could use? Thank you!
