Yes, that compromise is in not extending the event to two weekends, and keeping it to the one currently.

Has anybody else had trouble signing up to attend the community engagement event for GALA? (See screenshot)

Yes, I am getting that too, but just go anyway. I intend to.

Blah Blah, great idea- we need a leader and organiser to get this started.

I will talk to FOPR, and see if there is any interest for a petition from those going to the consultation tm. We just need some volunteers to get together and do the leg work. I've done political party canvassing before, and so can organise a ward by ward schedule. I think it's fair to say that any goodwill some of us had towards working with Gala has gone with this proposed expansion. They are not the same people that started the event with We Are the Fair. At least one of those people actually lived next to the park. The people running things now have no connection to the park or local area and quite frankly are taking the p*** now. Might be worth officially demanding to know where the money the council gets from the festival is actually spent as well. 

The consultation advertised as being last night Tuesday 18th, and to which our Councillor Renata Hamvas told me she was unable to attend, never happened because Events Team and Gala never showed up at Pod 1 Peckham Library. Cllr Hamvas is not supporting the 2nd weekend.  I then noticed in Southwark News the meeting is scheduled for tonight Wednesday 19th Nov 2025.  I can't attend. CllrVictoria Mills doesn't reply to my emails. Anyone able to go? I am unable to leave the house at this time.

    • The published planning application proposal summary runs: "25/AP/1010  Installation of air source heat pumps; acoustic screening; pipework and trunking; replacement of radiators with air conditioning units; secondary glazing; replacement of non-original lantern roof; internal refurbishment including decoration, new fittings, toilets, kitchenettes, and remedial works to building fabric." https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=SU76HIKBJGS00 The officer's assessment includes mention of an external buggy store, which sounds a good idea if it's for use by visiting tots.  I remember one morning when I found the ground floor part-occupied by buggies, even in a few book bays.  🙂
    • Its good to hear concern for this amazing resource. If you ever visit you will find it full of Dulwich teenagers upstairs studying for exams, community is so vital for that generation. I am sure we dont want that to evaporate entirely. There is not much left. With all knowledge of the huge wealth that exists in the area, it would be so warm and rewarding for some of that to be passed to Dulwich library. The ground floor loos were returning to a state of nature itself. Moss was starting to grow.   X
    • The planned closure of Dulwich Library for over 6 months to refurb and change the heating seems odd. The description of works does not seems to align with the expected length of closure.  Some library authorities use shop fitters over December/January when they have no other work to undertake such library refurbs. The costs are especially keen as a result. And shop fitters are used to compressed time works. Win win.  I would hope the works involve using the vacant unused second floor. Perhaps relocating the first floor librarian back offices there to make a bigger user space on the first floor.
