I was told this afternoon that dogs are again being poisoned in Peckham Rye & Park - including a young healthy Weimaraner. Does anyone have information? This same twisted campaign appeared several years ago. Southwark Council's response was point blank refusal to investigate, or even commission testing of samples. No warning notices were ever displayed.

Also. There has been giardiasis in dogs using the Park, presumably from the stagnant seasonal ponds. Giardia is a nastly little gut parasite, not dealt with by standard dosing. It can be dangerous to old or vulnerable dogs - and people can catch it. Again, does anyone have anything to share? Southwark could addressed this problem - at the least, posted warnings.

Does this info come via local vets? It would be good if one of them would make a post and contact LB Southwark about this.  Do you know any details of the poison?

No there was a case of a wiemaraner being poisoned on Peckham rye but this was a couple of years ago..

 

the rat traps popped around the park are very clearly marked and tend to be around the ponds inside the railings

don’t know enough about the stagnant water, but the main pond (and wildlife garden pond) are behind railings so should not be a problem. The other stream  areas are clear running water so should be fine?

      That the leaders of our country are wealthy people comes as a shock to you? How ridiculous.  Why shouldn’t they be living in those houses?

      No such thing as a “witch hunt” against a taxpayer funded public figure. Especially someone in charge of finances.    It is the responsibility of a landlord to ensure the agent acting on their behalf has done everything required to validate a tenancy. And to double check that too. Stop justifying it as some sort of ‘oversight’ purely down to the agent.    Also, I’d question the socialist credentials of a Labour chancellor owning a beautiful detached house on a private estate close to the edge of Dulwich Village. Great Brownings, according to some media outlets. What a s**tshow.    Louisa.    https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/southwark-faces-calls-to-take-action-against-chancellor-rachel-reeves-who-is-accused-of-breaking-housing-rules-when-renting-out-dulwich-home/

      Was the property in one the wards Southwark added last November? It would be a bit harsh if it was and Southwark didn’t notify residents and landlords.

      Yes it's a witch hunt, but that's what the press does. Optics are almost more important than policy these days. If the public has even a whiff that a government isn't trustworthy, or is chaotic, that feeling lingers like a rotten smell.  It's another comms catastrophe for Labour - every time there's a story they rush out a knee-jerk denial, without verifying the facts. They did it with Raynor and it was a shit-show. That's what Labour keeps getting wrong. Reeves should have been gagged and told by someone with an ounce of sense to first check her emails.
