There have been rumours surfacing again that the One O Clock Club is about to close. I was unaware of any changes to what was said at the meeting in December, and I have posted on one of the threads that I would check the current situation and then post an update on here. As I thought, there is no change to the situation. The message sent to me by Cllr Catherine McDonald on this matter is pasted below:


- rumours of the One O'Clock Club's threatened closure are entirely untrue

- we're committed to continuing stay and play at lunchtimes in Peckham Rye

- we are still taking forward proposals for Ivydale Children's Centre to take over the running of the lunchtime stay and play in the current site of the One O'Clock Club. Those discussions have not yet concluded.

- we have allocated funding for a replacement building for this service nearby in the park; in the meantime services will continue to run out of the existing building

- there is no change in the situation since the December meeting at the One O'Clock Club


The club may close temporarily in April for the rebuild (the money was allocated from capital funds in last year's budget), however the timing for this has not been set.

Hi Renata, that is fabulous news, a relief to us all! However I do feel the staff who run the 1 O'Clock Club could be kept up to date and better informed as it was one of them that told me of the closure threat last week. Please can you keep us posted regarding the progress and how long the club will be temporary closed whilst the rebuild happens.


Curmudgeon re "as for to be honest I'm sick of the closing - not-closing One 'O'Clock club conversations" - so sorry to bore you, just ignore the thread if you feel that way!

    • And from what I remember, she eventually cut the tea shop for a similar  reason to chandelier.  Chariot style buggies
    • Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣
    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
