GALA 2026

[oldermum]

I did. I have emailed the events team at Southwark and given my objections. Also objected to the way that the consultation was carried out - online meeting in the middle of the day that not everyone could access. In person meeting at Peckham library in the late evening , cold, dark and wet. This means that people could not easily give their view. There is a petition on Change.org asking Southwark not to go ahed with the festival.

Please could you give a link to the petition?

Not sure if it has already been posted on here, but if it has it is on a previous page, so not everybody reading this may see it.

Thanks!

Just a reminder that the ‘consultation period’ ends on Tuesday, comments need to be in by then. The petition is going well, every signature helps!

Ellie Reeves MP will be outside the Herne Tavern at 10.45 today to hear the concerns of local people. Ideal location for discussing GALA.
