I agree - I did say this in the written consultation but the anti-fence folk won. I think they've won now anyway - I can't see the council removing the fence, then having a 6 month trial and then really putting up another fence. Seriously doubt that is going to happen.

I'm a dog owner and do think it is better to have a dog free area, either as it is, or switch to the other side of the fence. I think the only problem is that the gates need to be self-closing because few dogs will be able to resist going through a gate that has been left open, which doesn't make it very dog free!


If the fence is removed, I think there should be an investigation into why so much money was spent on it in the first place and if the person/people responsible put it in without proper consultation they should be held to account.

Dogs can be one of the irritations of life. But things have got better; it?s not really that long ago since dogs were simply put out of the house for exercise - and if anybody picked up after them they would probably be considered perverted.

Unfortunately, where there are dogs there is dog poo, no matter how well intentioned the owners are. Despite this, Goose Green has always been well used for all sorts of purposes.

It may be news to some, but nobody likes wading through the stuff ? even dog owners! But consider the health risks to the poor children. Er . . . wait a minute, the poor children already have a special, protected play space at the Green. Oops! That argument loses some emotional kneejerkiness.


Goose Green is the nearest thing we have to a village green. Sure you can carve it up with fences and segregate people as a sledge hammer to a difficulty rather than address the obvious: Don?t allow dog owners to let their dogs leave crap. Don?t allow dogs to be out of control. Enforce the regulations. Let?s stay together as a community. ? Nah! let?s just fence off some people!

Goose Green is a historic open space. Shouldn?t it be protected as a whole, rather than crudely sanitised for some?

Accusations of incomer ponsification of East Dulwich roll off the back like the proverbial water, but if we are to have enclosures can I make a bid for separate ones for drunks, drug dealers, spoilt whingey children, arrogant buggy pushers, men with poor fashion sense and those at imminent risk of throwing up?

(Now if she had doggy children, she wouldn?t be saying that!)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
