God - there was I thinking how bloody wonderful it all looked with the trees and how clever the project is...

For those interested/ who don't know its part of this project:

Image of trees going in earlier this year attached.


Long may they grow there!

@teddy - there is a relatively safe cycle store just by Peckham Rye station

I think it's open till midnight everyday - http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/peckham-rye-cycle-hub-open-for-business/


Some of the fixtures are a bit problematic in terms of getting your bike locked securely but I've never had anything taken from my bike (would be interested to hear if anyone has had a different experience) I've left my bike overnight when had to come back a different way due to train problems and all OK. I have also left lights on my bike (something I never used to do before) & all OK. It also can be a bit of a playground for kids - I quite like that.


I think the trees and planting are lovely too - they've been there since summer I think? reminds me of the skip garden in King's Cross - http://globalgeneration.org.uk/kings-cross-skip-garden on a smaller scale

The trees don't make a difference - it's Peckham. I left my bike outside McDonald's for ten minutes one sunny afternoon last year, and when I came back someone had stuck a huge nail through the side wall of the tyre. If you're worried, use the station bike park.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
