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.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
