Not sure why this thread was pulled but here it is again - edited to add oops! It wasn't pulled just sunk. My apologies admin please pull.


London Mayor Boris Johnson entered into a secret agreement with a Chinese billionaire six months before a ?500 million scheme to build a replica Crystal Palace was announced publicly, a group of local residents allege in a letter sent to their MPs.

Here's the link to the secret Memorandum of Understanding between the ZRG, GLA and Bromley

Here's link to the petition http://tinyurl.com/q7f6svr


This proposal is of London-wide relevance as it is to build the biggest commercial complex of its kind in the country in Crystal Palace Park. The land the ZRG seek to control includes the terraces, bowl area, bus station, car parks and slip roads - half the park. The impact on ED and DV will be significant.


The extra daily vehicles this will bring to the surrounding congested road networks has not been addressed. Croxted road will be one of the main feeder routes from the north. The increase in HGVs servicing this complex placing increased strain on the single lane, residential roads will be significant. Here's the statement from the Dulwich Society:


"The problem with Crystal Place is the lack of public transport access ? buses cannot cope with the potential numbers nor can Crystal Place low level station (don?t forget in Victorian times there was a dedicated station nearby ? Crystal Place High level ? with four platforms and very frequent services). People will drive to it (there will have to be huge underground car parks) and Dulwich sits on the route south from central London. Dulwich Village is not very wide and the Tollgate on College Road will force drivers onto parallel roads, Croxted Road (which can hardly cope at the moment) Alleyn Road and Alleyn Park."

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
