Hi,

Would anyone know who to contact at Southwark Council regarding the Playground area at the bottom of Upland Road and Friern Road?


Currently there is a nice space for kids to play - my flat backs onto this and I do get a couple of footballs a week landing in my garden of which I'm happy to kick back to the kids!


However, sometimes they do try and climb into my place and scale the wall to get into neighbours properties to retrieve balls which could be dangerous.


My concern now is the council are now putting up basket ball nets at the back of my place which I guess will increase the amount of lost balls !


I was wondering if Soutwark Council should speak to residents before going ahead with this - the playground area is large and it would make sense to put the nets away from the residential properties ? Then the kids can have fun and there will be less lost balls and kids climibing into gardens. Any idea who I could talk to ? thanks!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By mac4 · Posted

      I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.

      Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
