's funny how no one gave a shite about the station ( E.Conn and JD Beasley excepted of course )until the gentrification nazis did a bit of freelance lebensraum and began to embrace the hood

Has anyone got a graph showig the timeline between facile arriviste liberal art facilitator parasite nazi arrival and the de facto ethnic cleansing* of those who are not their type ?

* yes, emotive word but used in this case to prod the slumbering sunday morning masses

Hot or not in SE15 for the winter season

HOT

national socialist grocers

NOT

low rent ethic hairdressers and foodshops

I'm not sure the station needs a ?25 million upgrade. There's a nice mix of businesses there at the moment, some older - the fruit and veg sellers, the hairdressers etc - and some welcome new additions, including Peckham Refreshment Rooms and a new coffee shop that's opening. Perhaps it could do with a little bit of a clean-up but other than that, what's wrong with the place as it is?

It's sad to hear that Blenheim Motors (mentioned in the BBC article) is under threat too. I thought the plans were only to refurbish the front of the station - has this now changed?

I worry that if this upgrade goes ahead, inevitably Starbucks, Costas and the like will move in, destroying the soul of the place and forcing the little independents out of business.

The whole area is a pit and needs a full revamp. It may be trendy at the moment until the hipsters or what ever people are called etc move on and then we the local residents are left with something we have been trying for years to improve. We will be left with the dross yet again. The area always had soul. I have to admit the scrap yard does add a bit of class

From Rye Lane to Bellenden road the triangle needs removing. Look at the area without out the trendy rose tinted glasses.

Opening up the front of the station will make a huge difference... IMO it is definitely needed. But I'm rather uneasy at the idea of booting out established businesses.

Perhaps the way forward is to have a consultation with businesses affected and local residents to get their views.
