Not exactly a break in at Dulwich Hospital, given the empty site is not accessible from the hospital. Surprised it's taken travellers so long to try this - absolute disgrace how long it's been 'empty'. I seed-bombed* the site a few weeks ago, just to add some colour and life to the place. Even if they do start building the new school / health centre next year, it's been a shocking waste of space for far too long and a huge administrative bureaucratic b*lls-up.

Agree with that, unfortunately this is Southwarks way. They did a similar thing with the site of the demolished Elmington estate flats. Left acres of land empty for more than a decade.

I am told that one large white caravan and a white van did get onto the site and were there overnight, and that this morning one of the occupants could be seen emptying a bucket/bowl of liquid onto the ground beside it. However, as at 10.20 a.m. it seems that both vehicles have now moved, although it's not clear whether they are now on another part of the site, or whether they have left completely.

That "horrid little tree" was planted by the the children of goose green school and the friends of goose green. It is a living Xmas tree and had to be a young specimen, like any other tree planted, it shall grow!

The children are all very proud of it and look forward to the now annual Carol singing event round it in December.

Thats's lovely for the kids. People are allowed to find it horrid though, doesn't make them chail murderers.


Personally I have no idea where this tree is.


From memory the squatters were actually a bunch of middle class kids playing at being alternitive. Not sure there was any actual housing need involved.

Sorry to go all Louisa/Foxy on yo ass but that squatter thread has made me miss the good ole days. I even yearned for Hugenuts to be back among us albeit for a fleeting moment ;-)


And some of the posters that are no longer with us, Moos, Crystalclear, Shambles, Bagpuss...all so sad ;-(

      Taxes

      I think it's a good idea and follows the example of other towns/areas. As it says in the article, the area around the main tourist attractions in Southwark, that is The Globe, Southwark Cathedral, Tate Modern and the whole walking route from London Bridge to Blackfriars, takes a lot of maintaining and it shouldn't be a burden on regular council tax payers like us.
