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.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
