Why not? Lots of facilities for kids are still closed because of COVID and lots of parents have lost jobs and money because of COVID. Peckham Rye playpark is somewhere healthy and free that parents can take kids for a couple of hours...but there is little shade there and without the water it's oppressively hot.
Ah, Southwark Council, water features and Peckham Rye Park..... a recurring issue that seems incapable of solution. In 2014 I was on here talking about the renovation and lamenting the poor design of the previous iteration of ?improvements? to Peckham Rye. The uphill flowing stream was a special touch that lasted about 3 weeks before being switched off never to see water again. Renata the councillor is usually the best bet for these issues. 😉 good luck

I assume it's still covid related, but it was pretty obvious when they built this obvious white elephant that the water would be permanently turned off pretty quickly after opening, because the same thing happens in every other park where they've ever built one of these.



See Brockwell park for the nearest example.

This playground us an absolute shambles now. Really neglected


Half the equipment is broken, including all of the water features, the trampoline, the large climbing frame, the diggers, in of the sand pits is empty with all the sand being stuck in the water equipment and 90% 9f the plants they put in are dead.


It's awful.

Southwark council councillors need to be told as well as the local paper. Countless projects promise much but then get neglected because attention turns to the next big thing. If s water feature is there then it should be working and not left to rot.
Litter in the playpark is 90% a result of careless parents not cleaning up after their kids (and it wouldn't kill anyone to pick up a couple of pieces of other people's rubbish when they see it), and foxes raiding bins overnight.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
