Agree re. all the psuedo military vehicles. My road looks like helmand province. We used to laugh at the Americans all driving ludicrous oversized tanks.

Hi bob,

Sadly they did reject it.

They said the Localism Act 2011 didnt allow it.

But we've found so far three other English local councils that interpreted the law and DID list police station as local community assets!

So I've asked for a review and complained as it's a really important principle ot save other such police bases across Southwark. Doesn't help East Dulwich but still it needs to be done.

Hi SJ,

At one point it looked like the Police station was going to be sold for flats and a supermarket instead of sold to host a new school.

We are desperately short of school places and the Police station represented one of the few pieces of lcoal land a school could be built on.


Hi Louisa,

The land owner would have been told of the application, they will have seen other police station around England being so listed, so it may have tipped the balance with all the other pressure we applied to get it sold for a school. Equally it may have made no difference!

Hi SJ,

It didn't help make this happen - and it was on a knife edge which way it went. With Community Listing I suspect even just the process helped. But rejecting it wrongly coudl easilly have resulted in a higher non school bid winning. Their decision also places at risk other Police stations until they agree they got it wrong. The community listing reduces the incentive to try selling Police stations.

Were these other Police Stations open active stations (thus community assets), or empty shells?

Yes LondonMix. Department of Health so painful (excuse the uninended pun) that we've had to find alternative sites.

First permanent one found, just need to find second permanent site.


Saying that I still hope the temporory Primary school site will be the Dulwich Hospital.

See EastDulwichSE22 post of 31 January which I think is lifted from James' website.

Hi LondonMix,

Harris are not opening any new secondary schools in the area.

We're talking about the primary school places crisis. They have support for tw oprimary schools towards the 3-4 we need locally.


Hi noelewilson,

Head of Terms is part of the contract of sale of the site. It should be a detail once the principles of sales have been agreed which they have been.

    • The big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
