Can't see anything from plan that suggests ST Francis Road would be proposed route as all the plans seem to still show it as a cul-de-sac. Aside from not being suitable for handling that volume of traffic, the access points at end of cul-de-sac are in private ownership so would be a non starter. Hadley are just testing the water at the moment. Whatever they actually have planned is probably some way off from being revealed.

Is St Francis Rd any narrower than other residential streets in East Dulwich? Looks similar to me. The Abbotswood estate is pretty small and doesn't generate much traffic, but St Francis would become a through road rather than a cul-de-sac so this might make it slightly less desirable.

@eastdulwichhenry, the road access is not the only very unclear thing.


Currently the now slightly reduced in size club carpark can hold around forty cars (reduced by the carwash). During matches we now see between thirty and fifty cars parking along the rear side of the ground, down Abbotswood Road, Burrow Road and even Talbot Road. There is no club carpark on any of the plans and it certainly needs one.

How very dare you.

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
