Hi, for those of you who aren't already aware, there is a new campaign to re-open Peckham Lido ( http://peckhampeculiar.tumblr.com/post/94561844474/lets-reopen-peckham-lido ).


If this is something you would support, there is a petition you can sign here:

Thanks

It is a lovely idea and I remember when I first moved here it was open and very popular.

But, in the days when councils are wanting to spend as little as possible and even offload the running of the parks to Friends of Parks type groups and voluntary organisations, do we really imagine this Council will have the funds and drive to open up our Lido again?


On the other hand, loads of money has been found to build the new fitness/gym/pool at Elephant so why not?


And it is at the north end of Peckham Rye Common and last year Pull the Other One hosted the Village Hall Experience on the site. It would be good to do something at this site, and for a few years a Peckham City Farm was suggested.

I agree but perhaps an application can be made to the Heritage Lottery Fund? I wonder if the Friends of Peckham Rye Park have been contacted.

An outdoor facility, especially if it offers food, drink and a place for "community" activities would be a good companion for the trad indoor pool at the DLC. It'd work, but only if it were heated and open year round, early till late (at least in the summer) and if the impetus to get it off the ground continued well past any initial hoopla. I hope it happens: good luck!

Haha - this made me laugh. People have no idea where I mean when I say the King's Arms + Heaton Arms

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
