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.

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!)

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
