I have just received an email from the Council about Goose Green and what changes they intend to make:


"Dear Sir/Madam,


Following the consultation we carried out last year, we have carefully considered the issues raised by members of the public who took part in the consultation. We would like to propose the enclosed scheme.


Scheme details


* Removal of the green fence and redeployment of it at another site,

* Installation of new fence matching exterior fence. Designation of that area thus contained as a dog exercise area,

* Relocation of rubbish bins and dog bins,

* Amendments to signage.


On the assumption that this proposed scheme meets with public approval we intend to commission these works over the next 3 months.


If you have any further comments on the proposed scheme please contact me.


Regards,


Ursula Allison

I've attached the PDF to this post.


Personally I think they're changes for the better (but then I don't have a dog)


[edited once]

Seems the biggest change, apart from the colour of the fence, is that the dog "exercise area" (some free weights, a pool and a couple of treadmills, I assume) has got a lot smaller. At the moment the dogs have the whole bit down by the roundabout plus the diagonal on the Ondine side of the Green. This proposal cuts that to just the section by the roundabout.

"...it's a shame it goes to waste as it is.."


it's not waste ground, it's used by hundreds of people everyday. Historically a green is "A grassy area located usually at the center of a city or town and set aside for common use" which it is. I agree that a duck pond would be nice though.

Despite my hugely pacifist tendencies I have accidenatly discovered that one of the very few things I'm actually good at is shooting things. Double skeet at 15 ft, no probs. Rabbit at 100yards, boom.


Not proud though, faintly disturbed, cosmic jokes and all that!!

The Parks Department will be at at the Dulwich Festival Fair on Goose Green, Sunday 13th May and you can discuss the proposals with them.


(I have to say I have won some clay pigeon shoots in my time, perhaps an ED shooting team could be formed but this in not the thread to discuss this. No more mentioning of shooting on here please, it's about Goose Green)

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
