Update on The Patch from... The Patch!!!

Curiously no planning application on the Southwark Website yet.


Planning for what? - it's not change of use - are they altering the external structure? Clearly the licence has to change hands - but that would be a licencing committee, not a planning committee?

There's a link to the ES article further up this thread, but here it is again to save you looking!

What do the Patch people say is inaccurate?


Where did the ES get their information from?

Just been looking at the Patch tweets, and on 1 April they tweeted that the lease was to be signed "this week" (ie the week of 1 April).


And on 11 April they tweeted


The piece about Keri and the Patch in the Standard is entirely misquoted and untrue - they have mis reported the facts to a huge extent


but when somebody (not me!) asked The Patch (on Twitter) whether they could say which bits were inaccurate, there was no response.


It's difficult not to compare this saga with the way The Ivy House community purchase has been completed and publicised, with a comprehensive business plan and a proper community share issue.


The public meeting at The Ivy House on Sunday was rammed to the gills, and the presentation by the management team was truly inspiring.

xxxxxxx


Because it's one of the pubs nearest to my home, and I've been going to it on and off for around twenty years probably, quite regularly in some of its more recent incarnations!


I'd like to know what's happening to it, and I can't understand why there seem to be so many apparently premature announcements.


For example, there was this on 13 November where nonold said that the decision on who was taking over the Mag was being made that week - that was over five months ago!

Then the present temporary landlord Tony appears to think that he is also still in the running to take over the lease:

An extract from Tony's thread: Hi sue we are here to see if we can make the pub work again and then we have the option to take on the lease. I hope this help's.


Yet on 3 April The Patch posted this on their Facebook page:


Hi all,

Meeting up with the Enterprise Inn people tomorrow, tying up a few loose ends. It would be great if we could show a bit of movement on Kickstarter! So please spread the word and get your friends pledging!! Every little bit counts!


I also can't understand apparent discrepancies in statements about exactly what The Patch is supposed to be, and how it can possibly be a) community owned b) fully independent or c) fully self-sufficient, but I'm not going to bang on about that again. Oh, I just did. :)


My interest is as a local resident and prospective Mag regular, and nothing to do with the Goose music nights, as it is highly unlikely that http://www.thegooseisout.com will ever return to the Mag (sadly, as we had some great nights there!)

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
