A notice announced that it would reopen on 29th January (I think). I sent my 11 year old and his friend off to celebrate/investigate. They came back disappointed - the new building is there, and there are activities of some sort (table tennis) inside there (or were on that day), but the actual grounds (surely the whole point of an "adventure playground"?)are taped off. The big wooden structures (swings, climbing frames etc) have not been rebuilt, although there was some new looking wood stacked up near them last time I went by. Looking forward to hearing any news any one else has about it.
There was a lone man putting posts in the ground round the edge of the playground yesterday, but certainly didn't look much much (if any) progress had been made on the large structures in the centre of the area. I noticed the sign advertising table tennis etc... hardly activities you'd expect to do at an "adventure" playground!
sadly this adventure playground was originally conceived for the deprived children of peckham and nunhead and hidden in the far corner of a run down park many years ago. As the liberal executive really do not see this or the smaller run down childrens play area as an issue or a vote winner they are happy to put very little effort in. However if say some well to do people with a slight visual problem with a derelict old swimming pool stick their hands in the air while showering love and affection on the liberal councillors, then the executive will rush out and spend 40+grand to get it bulldozed and filled in, not including all the money on surveys and reports. Do not expect much to happen until this side of the park starts to vote in the appropriate manner.....thank you

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
