Hi all,


I was wondering if you are aware of the plans to regenerate Peckham Rye station. Basically it's my understanding that Southwark Council were planning to build a new public square outside the station, and sweep away about 60 or so businesses that will be replaced with new tenants (for more information, scroll down to item 12 on this page: http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=302&MID=4253#AI27873)


However Peckham Vision, which is a group of local residents and businesses that wants a more 'integrated town centre', has opposed the plans to kick out the current businesses, saying they are too drastic. The result of their opposition means that Southwark council will now not be able to remove existing tenants so easily.


I was just wondering what everybody's thoughts are on this? While I don't want to see a Peckham filled with Costa coffee shops and chain stores, I do think the area around the station is smelly, dirty and is really in need of some sort of investment.

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
