The sand that has appeared on Peckham rye- childrens sand play area or dog toilet? Currently being used as both. You put sand in the middle of a park kids are going to want to jump in it (mine included) & dogs will poo in it (mine tried but I didn't let her unlike other dog owners) Pretty disgusting & a little confusing..

Definitely there for the pitch maintenance but currently brilliant for children. Gutted as had so much fun there yesterday so went back today and found so many dog poo's. Completely aware that it's so appealing for dogs but just, naively hoped owners would know that children would want to play in it too and would clean up as they would else where.

Dogs are allowed to roam free on that part of the Rye. Owners should be picking up solid waste but dogs will still wee in sand and not all dog owners behave responsibly. This is not the first year that this has happened, so I would have hoped these lessons had been learnt.


How about putting the sand for groundsmen in the picnic area? This is contained and dog free, so would mean that kids could play in it safely. Surely a cripplingly bureaucratic "risk assessment" by Southwark should have picked this up?

How about some parents acting responsible and not allowing their children to play in sand that has clearly not been allocated to their play area? If parents want sand provided for their children to play in, why not request it, and have it safely put in the child playing area, whereby it is protected by high railings and a dog free area.


Simple sense really.

That's fair enough, but I think people weren't really clear why it was there perhaps (whether it was intended to be 'play sand' or not). Either way, doesn't justify people letting their dogs do their business there (or anywhere else) and not then clearing it up.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
