Street parties where road closures are required have to be planned months in advance with the council and emergency services (to ensure they know the road is closed) so the idea of being able to move it at short notice to another non gala day is frankly insane thinking.

Have you? All of the quotes you used are on the Friends of Peckham Rye website - http://www.peckhamryepark.org/news

They don't quote any source or evidence for this claim either.



The application was amended withdrawing the 'in perpetuity' aspect + some other amendments to reflect concerns that had been raised. The Licensing Authority then withdrew their representations against. TBF I don't think this info is on Southwark's website yet, but it was communicated by email to parties who have expressed interest.

So that website would have been the source for various articles, I am not involved with FPR but imagine they have the best interests of the park at heart.


It would be good to know that those amendments and withdrawals have definitely been made how did you find out about them?

I'm sure they have, but that means different things to different people I guess.


The info was sent to me in an email as I had expressed interest.


If you want to DM me your email address I can forward it on. Understand if you don't want to and would rather wait,

Thank DuncanW.


JohnL, legalalien kindly explained that it was likely this was not wholly sinister, in that the request was so the company did not have to go through the rigamarole of applying for a licence each year. That said, I think there is more control and accountability if they have to, which it seems they now will, if DuncanW is correct in what he has heard.

Fair enough - I guess a legal term and not meaning until the world ends :)

      Injured fox on Crawthew Grove

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.

      Austin's furniture store, Peckham

      By SueJM · Posted

      My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).

      Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
