I scarcely use my ancient (1998!) non ULEZ compliant car any more, which I have had for nearly 20 years. It is presently used mainly to take bulky things up to my allotment or the tip, occasional weekends away, festivals or camping trips, and sometimes giving people lifts to and from stations. But that's mainly because I have to pay the ULEZ charge every time I use it. It has been very reliable, is in good nick and passes its MOT every year. Now, after months without use apart from opening the door to put things into the car, a new battery bought last September is dead and won't charge 😭 I realise this is my own stupid fault for not realising that you shouldn't let a battery completely discharge, and I should have gone for a drive or charged the battery before. I have hung onto the car because I am over the age limit for car share club type things and car hire companies (though my daughter has just found a website with car hire schemes for ancient people). Also I am not used to driving more modern cars! I looked into getting a (second hand) replacement when ULEZ came in, and it just all seemed like too much hassle. Now I don't know whether it's worth shelling out for yet another new battery (DUH) . The one I got is still under guarantee, but only for "manufacturing faults" and I imagine this won't apply in this case. But if I don't I will have to somehow dispose of the car, which also needs at least one tyre inflating, for which I need a working battery 😭 If you don't have a car, how do you manage, especially if like me you are very old? And/or do you have any advice on whether I should keep the car, or if not what to do with it? -

They will have some rationale for this, but it feels like a deliberate testing of the waters, to see how much of the park they can take, with the trackway right across the length of the whole playing fields and the new and exceedingly ugly, extended footprint. My guess is soon we will see further encroachments and extensions and even more events, from other organisations. Peckham Rye is on course to be a giant, summer-long event space, just like Brockwell Park. I have just checked Southwark Council licensing and it seems the intention is to use the Gala infrastructure to mount events, this may only the extra 'family' day but 6 days are mentioned. The Licensing Sub-Committee heard from the representative for the Applicant who advised that the purpose of the application was to present a family festival day and two live concert days to take place in Peckham Rye Park in May/June within the existing site operated by We are the Fair/Assembled Gala. The Applicant would work in collaboration with the Peckham Festival on the events falling on the weekend after GALA. GALA normally is held on the late May Bank Holiday Weekend. -
