East Dulwich was no posher than peckham until quite recently, so whoever told you that is obviously talking out of their arse!

Yes, I could but I won't. Yet!


Signs all over the place reminding we are in England, telling us DO NOT CLIMB THIS SCULPTURE and DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH THIS PRECIOUS WORK OF ART


are


NOT to be seen at this amazing beautiful work of art!


Yay!


Well done artists and thanks to the Councillors who awarded the tiny amount of CGS award that allowed it to be done!

When did this happen?


I've been here for decades and AFAIK the area west of Peckham Rye and south of East Dulwich Road has been SE22 for a very long time.

This from page one of the thread.

The money awarded from the CGS was ?2500.


http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieDecisionDetails.aspx?Id=4410


A pot of around ?250k is available from the CGS each year. Any individual or community group within Southwark can apply for funding for any project that falls within the remit of the scheme.


There's a lot of imformation about the scheme on Southwark's website.

Am I the only one who is depressed by the production of this sculpture, the absence of design research as relates to the area, the crude addition of wings once the sculptor discovered that Blake had seen angels on Peckham Rye (though this is such an old chestnut - lots of other interesting things happened on the Rye over the years including a race by Boudica!), lack of consutation with local community, lack of documentation on site......

The overall production looks Good. Though I have only seen it from my car.


I have no understanding of any relevance to the local area if there is any.


I do not much appreciate the addition of the 'Wings' and others have expressed similar views

Do not think they add anything to the piece.


But them I'm only a Fox.


DulwichFox.

for the emigr?s and in case people haven't seen it


The blurb said "The piece, sculpted from a damaged tree, is based on the notion of unity and friendship ? feelings Morganico felt were rooted in the local area."


Clearly morganico hasn't been on the edf ;-P

The EDF is often the acerbic 'pithy' side of the 'local area'. Perhaps he has visited Nunhead and the piece is based on that....

Darn - I'm a Nunheadian but I've blown it by revealing my pithy side...

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op...
