I'm concerned about the lack of street lighting in Peckham Rye park. Many of the lamps seem to be out of order and there is a stretch along the main path (from the cafe to the Peckham Rye / Nunhead side of the park) that is completely dark. This feels unsafe and dangerous to walk through with small children even at 5/6pm.


I have reported this to Southwark Council and to the Parks department.


Does anyone know if anything is being done about this?


Thank you!

Thanks for reminding me: I've also just reported it on FixMyStreet, so lets see what happens. it's actually only 3 lights - number 17, 19 and 20 that are out, but it certainly is rather dark. Usually still enough people about between 6pm and 7pm to feel ok though.
Thanks everyone. Southwark Council got back to me to say that someone would investigate within five working days. Actually I noticed that some of the lamps were back on last night... so not as dark as it was a week or so ago. So, yes - maybe only three lights that are out.

Thank you for reporting this, Isolde2018.


I meant to report it a few weeks back, and forgot all about it.


It is a very scary stretch to walk down in the dark, particularly alone, but a very long way round if you avoid that path altogether because of the dark section.


There didn't seem to be any lighting in the car park either (which can be a short cut depending on where you are going) - is there supposed to be? I didn't want to stop and investigate at the time.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
