Exciting Opportunity Do Share!

[Thunderblue600]

Hello,

Thank you for expressing an interest in operating from the former Peckham Rye Park Bowling green and pavilion site.

We had an excellent response to the public consultation held last year with over 300 completed surveys; demonstrating the high level of interest in this area and passion for the wider Peckham Rye Park and common.

We have collated and analysed the responses, and the report is attached for your information.

The recommendations from the report were to advertise for a lease holder to run a facility from the area initially for a short term of up to two years. A shorter term will allow the council to monitor the use of the facility and survey park visitor opinions over that period before agreeing any extension to the lease.

The opportunity is open to bids from both the commercial and community/charitable sectors and from a wide range of possible uses which only need to adhere to the constraints identified in the advert.

The lease opportunity is now being advertised at;

www.southwark.gov.uk/properties-to-let/property/36019

We are seeking expressions of interest. We expect to close to new applications in early May.

If you have any questions, please ask and thanks again for your interest in this project.

Kind regards,

Matthew Hill
