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

    • 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).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
