Has anyone noticed how overgrown Sunray Gardens is looking lately? I don't remember it getting like this before.


I'm in there nearly every day and the nettles and brambles along the path around the lake are quite out of control. It makes walking round with a toddler quite tricky. The smaller unpaved paths to the playground are also overgrown.


I'm all for a bit of natural planting in an urban park but it would be good to be able to let small children explore a bit without having to keep them away from all the harmful stuff.


Just wondered if anyone has emailed Southwark before I look into it..

Hi nigello,

Street trees aren't covered by parks.

If you don't get a sensible response please feel free to escalate to me or my ward colleagues.


Hi niksterboots,

You should ask Rebecca what the plans are for the playground.

Every year we have Cleaner, Greener, Safer devolved capital budgets - you could apply for funds to upgradeo r replace one or two items.

Is this even in east dulwich? Youre not an MP for this area are you james?

I'm in Sunray Gardens regularly and agree that it's been overgrown for a while now, especially around the lake area. It's been full of overgrown brambles and stinging nettles for ages now and I'm forever having to watch out with the children I look after. Also the lake area has been in a stagnated state recently but maybe that's because of the weather? Seems a shame as it had an overhaul a few years ago.


There's certain areas which the parks people keep well maintained and then areas which I've emailed about which are cut down for no reason and then left to stagnate.


The playground area was refurbished a few years ago so not sure if there's any funds for more updates?

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
