I accept that people are busy with the local elections, but the 1 million pound(?) project for the park is down in the London Party local election leaflet that came round so it would be nice to know a little bit more.

Hi everyone,

I know plans and consultation documents are being developed for the Southwark website. I won't however, be able to find out when this will go on-line until after the election,

It goes from just inside the 1 'o'clock club playground, past the roundabout, past the springy boards, under a little bridge and terminates in a clump of rocks. If your walking from the caf to Barry road it's on your left.
I definitely think both toddler play areas could do with a revamp. They are both a bit dismal and uninspiring compared to the rest of the park - the play areas at goose green and hillyfields are both much better if the powers that be are looking for ideas. I think we need to see the plans to be able to comment properly, but i for one am pleased there is some sort of plan in motion!

There is an update!


Southwark Council has selected two architects to design new play facilities and a changing room area at Peckham Rye Park.


It was announced on 21 March 2016 that Curl la Tourelle + Head has been chosen to design new changing rooms next to the football pitches and a new children?s playroom, while Turkington Martin has been appointed to conceive a new children?s play area for Peckham Rye Common.


The project is funded by the Olympic Legacy Funding and the council?s capital funding.


Barrie Hargrove, cabinet member for parks, leisure and public health, said that the council was ?very keen to ensure the local community remains involved in the project throughout? and would therefore be establishing a stakeholder reference group ?to keep information flowing to all interested parties?.


He added: "This time of austerity has raised many challenges for us, but I am proud to say that despite this Southwark Council has still been able to invest millions in our parks and open spaces, including this significant project in Peckham Rye that recognises the importance of this historic open space to residents.

    • Ed has experience of having to care for others (his mother and son) he understands more so than other MPs how NHS and Social Services need funding and to work together. David Cameron had a seriously disabled son but he appeared to lack empathy with others who have family in the same situation. I vaguely remember that when his son died - he thanked the NHS for the care given to the family. Gordon Brown, I believe is another very genuine person - and fully committed to improving lives of families. His daughter died shortly after birth and one of his sons was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.   I far rather trust Ed and Lib Dems than I would Reform or Tories. I have known a few MPs of different political  persuasions, met with them, been canvassing etc over many years and those who stand out for me are Paddy Ashdown, Susan Kramer, Tessa Jowell, Helen Hayes  .
    • I've just had Oddbods Handy Services (Iain and Paul) come and sort out some fiddly repair work to a water tank cupboard in our house. They were punctual, professional in their approach, courteous and tidy upon finishing the job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a handyman and peace of mind knowing they will do a good job. Thanks guys.
    • Of course as these places revive, for the reasons you correctly state, there is no shortage of people moaning “just what we need. Another coffee shop or bar!” and of course there are limits.  But social spaces are the future of revived town centres as much as or more than traditional retail  Face to face shopping is important and a good thing but landlords are not going to swallow the lower rents that are required to revive retail in town centres  shopkeeers don’t help themselves either sometimes. Yer famous butcher in Dulwich spent more time complaining about congestion charge in Kennington instead of saying how that led to his business booming in Dulwich  On the other hand again look  what happened when his butcher shop took off in lordship lane.  Other people started moaning about the queues!!  Successful business!!! Boo hiss   sometimes I do wonder if the “left behind” find themselves in that position not because of govt policy or newcomers  but because they will never be happy and become pains in the hole which business and other people avoid
