There has been an announcement that over ?800 million has been either granted or provisionally granted to high streets to bounce back.


The old Kent Road, an area that was earmarked for massive regeneration and house building, received ?9.6 million.

Is this the right area for Southwark to be focusing on now that the additional funding from the tube expansion has evaporated ? Or should they have looked at diverting the funds towards struggling town centres like Peckham that are crying our for improvements in facilities ?

Spartacus - what improvements in facilities does peckham require in your opinion (I?m assuming you mean rye lane shopping area, pls correct me if mistaken) ?

Personally I like the whole Rye Lane vibe and prefer the relaxed scene there, when compared to (say) LL !!

      Missing Cat

      By archimissa2 · Posted

      Hi - Have you seen the photo in nivag's post 'Lost cat at Dulwich Hamlet FC'? It looks as if it could be Gigi (assuming she's still missing).

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      As I may have said before those that knew him  at DC who I have met sat similar, but not sure if they are quoting the above contacts or first hand experience.  And of course that he has changed the pronunciation of his surname

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
