I slipped on the grey/green matting surrounding the large wooden climbing frames at Goose Green Park on Friday morning and broke my ankle badly. Obviously not ideal at 32 weeks pregnant but I?m glad it wasn?t worse.


I have written to Southwark Council to warn them that this area is very slippy. If anyone one has slipped there, I?d be grateful if you could PM me.

Then it is clearly not fit for purpose, and they should change it.


ETA: Very sorry to hear about your ankle, OP.

Much as I think James was an excellent councillor, I think it's a bit unfair to expect councillors to pick up on every issue raised on the forum unless it's specifically brought to their attention!

klh this is awful for you.


You might consider getting some legal advice on this? If other people have sustained injuries then there is a good chance the council have already been advised of the risks. You have broken your ankle which is a significant injury......the fall being all the more concerning when pregnant. Liability?

Hi all


Thanks to both klh and ed26 for raising this issue with me - by private message and on my thread respectively. I'm pleased that I've been able to help.


For what it's worth, I try to look through the forum when I can but to make sure I don't miss anything important in have also turned on email notifications for private messages and posts on my thread. So if you need anything from me then one of those two options - alongside simple old fashioned email - is the best method.


Best wishes

James

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
