Just gone passed Love Dulwich cafe on the bus and thereās a sign outside stating ānew Turkish restaurant opening soonā - I know the owners are Turkish but are they converting it already?Ā -
I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this Ā branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, likeĀ Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one donāt fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldnāt there be more flexibility? Iād love to hear what others thinkāshould this policy be reconsidered? -

I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that itās so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think itās lovely that theyāve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. Iād also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldnāt romanticise the skate park - theyāre not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I donāt think itās hugely affecting the community, but letās not pretend there isnāt some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and itās often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Letās use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs.Ā -
