I take back what I said about thoughtful process - agree with unlurked that lice is a big problem, and disappointed that there was no provision for anti-lice upholstery in the planning application.


Suspect they have also forgotten about a pedestrian barrier / cattle grid to ensure that offending patrons (e.g. old people and young children) emerging from the darkness of the cinema into the light of the street are prevented from causing unnecessary traffic disruptions.


I vote for Lord of the Flies.

Actually if you'd bothered to visit the presentation or view the photo of the proposed scheme posted above you'll see the pedestrian barriers which are already there will stay, probably for the exact reason you've stated.

Actually AF, I find it much easier to form opinions without the benefit of having seen the applications.

I leave it to more diligent citizens of the EDF to argue points of detail - I will stick to being outraged on principle.

It has started. . .

Years from now, as alien explorers pick through the wreckage of planet earth, someone will look back at the lost civilisation of Humans and rue the apparently innocuous trigger point for all the terrible horrors that were to follow... the Picturehouse Dulwich.

Dad, I dug another hole



Since James Barber was one of the prime movers in encouraging Picturehouse to come to ED, this is a pretty mean comment.


E-dealer, I suspect that you won't be voting Lib Dem this Spring (and indeed neither will I), but please try to keep politics out of this and be pleased that ED will probably be getting a much needed asset.

E-dealer, please tell me why James B would want to get the cinema project cancelled when, as I said, he is one of the people who encouraged Picturehouse to come to ED. Or is there some Machiavellian conspiracy afoot that is too difficult for us ordinary mortals to comprehend?


More to the point, why does at least one poster have to post negative messages on EDF when there is for once some potentially good news?

What evidence can you back this claim up with, as stated before they are clearly depicted on the artist impression of the completed development. For someone supposedly supportive of the project a statement such as yours is extremely negative and potentially harmful.

Tell 'im he's dreamin.


:-)

Someone mentioned the pedestrian barriers outside the cinema. I reference the existing barriers on the PUBLIC FOOTPATH are probably going to be removed.


The proposed fencing spelling out Dulwich Picturehouse is part of the proposed cinema. I;d prefer them to East Dulwich Picturehouse but either way they look a nice touch on the drawings exhibited on Saturday.

    • It shouldn't be a difficult DIY job. Replacement cylinders are available here are a couple  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236294046742  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177388193151 What is the make and model of your chair?? Unless its a Herman Miller then its worth fixing but some other may not be worth it.
    • Returning to the question, although still not directly answering I'm afraid as ive not lived on that road: I have previously lived in a house where the railway line was behind the house and over a playing field, and also in a flat blocked from the railway line by at least one more block worth of houses. I would not live that close to a railway line again. In the house the noise with the windows open always disturbed me at night. And you need to bear it mind it is not just the timetables of passenger trains you need to consider, at night time there could be freight trains too. That was my problem in the flat: not noise, I was shielded from that, but the weight of the freight trains passing made the whole building shake enough to wake me up. If you are a sounder sleeper or less sensitive to noise it could be fine. I would suggest checking if freight trains use that route though.
    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road).
