The last time I went to ED Police Station was to hand in a wallet I'd found. I went there because it was nearer than going to the busier Peckham Station. I guess the real question is what purpose does ED station serve? It's not a fully functioning station and a counter service isn't really enough to justify keeping a whole building open imo.

Public Land Should Remain So: from the FT/ Anna Minton click and read. It pretty much sums up my opinion.

We are very much in danger of selling everything and building high before a generation of planners and politicians arrives with the full facts of where we're going climate/ land/ population

This particular building is hidious. But, it seems to be a hive of activity on the inside, undetectable on the outside. Should we have to go to Peckham for routine policing what should be the fabric of puplic services? What other services could fill the building with a new cladding of solar cells or a horizontal farm and solar panels on the roof. Why not a cinema with bijou showing rooms or a children's activity centre for paid drop in by the hour? I despair at the lack of imagination shown by politicians for whom disposal of everything held in the public trust is the only option.

For those who are interested, the Southwark Police Borough Commander has agreed to attend the next Dulwich Community Council meeting on September 18th at the Dulwich Library. He will be discussing changes to the local police services in the Dulwich area in general and we are hoping to extract a confirmation about the ED station in the process.

So, if you feel strongly about this subject, this is an opportunity to be heard.

The BC has a very tight schedule, so his slot will start precisely at 7pm and last for half an hour.

Just bringing this to the top in case some people haven't seen the date of the meeting.

I wonder if Andy Coulson will support this petition.
