Let's clarify things once and for all. The hall boundary is to have designer Dulwich Picturehouse railings, the kerbside pedestrian barriers originally placed to stop the children and later hall users from walking or running straight into the road (situated in front of the old school doors) and are to remain according to the artistic impression. The original post jokingly expected people to come out from a darkened cinema straight into the road, not funny in my opinion, this won't happen with the kerbside barriers still there.

I think it's time we got back on track with positivity and excitement about the possibility of East Dulwich getting it's first major cultural hub!


In a recent edition of the Picturehouse Cinemas quarterly magazine, founder Lyn Goleby talks about future developments. I quote her here:


"We're launching a cinema-on-demand platform called ourscreen through a handful of our cinemas and we think that's a really exciting next stage. Audiences will be able to programme films and events in their local cinemas. We think it's an amazing idea."


Exciting times!

You'd be surprised actually, there are lots of audio described film showings. However, if a blind person has any kind of mobility skills, they would not be at risk of walking in to that road.




Oh, and "East Dulwich Picture House" sounds shit. Dulwich Picture House is much better

Actually the whole thread has been very positive as should be expected, just a couple of people making something out of nothing.

I think he's taking the p*ss (no pun intended) as he's a little unhappy about James Barber's success in organising this. He takes every opportunity to have an unwarranted pop at the man.

Not everybody agrees with JB's politics (I certainly don't) but he's a brave man sticking his neck out here very day and he is definately well intended.


I suspect unlurked hides behind his keyboard and moans on here, doing absolutely nothing about it...

Likewise, I agree. I find it pretty distasteful, the number of personal comments about James Barber. Personally, I don't support the lib dems at all. But the effort that James goes to for the good of our community is extremely commendable. I hope that the guys who seem to be continually sniping do the same level of work for the general good.


It's not a case of James being elected and therefore putting himself up for criticism; some of the comments on this forum are beyond the pale.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
