This Weds they'll be an open meeting at the cafe on Peckham Rye Common about the improvement (and possible expansion) of facilities on the Common (and possibly also in the Park).


?200K of funding has been secured to build a new One O'Clock Club. Hopefully a further ?200K will be secured in the coming weeks to ensure the best possible facilities are built. Further funding is available for a natural play facility which will include a water play area.


Although funding has not yet been secured for new changing room facilities both on the Common and at Homestall Road these are also being planned.


If you have any thoughts about where these facilities would be best located, ideas of what they might look like, what they should provide and how to keep the development as sympathetic to the surroundings as possible, then attend the meeting on Weds - I'll post the time as soon as I've confirmed it.


I met with the council officers in charge of the project and the local architects last Weds alongside Friends of Peckham Rye Park, the One O'Clock Club and the various sports clubs. There isn't a huge amount to report at this stage except to say get involved this Wednesday and hopefully the initial drawings, expected in about three weeks time, will reflect the meeting last week and all the comments made on Wednesday.


Bit more info on www.peckhamryelabour.blogspot.com and more here (see pages 41 and 42)

I was at the meeting last Weds but got an email from the Parks guy saying that the one this week was being postponed until the drawings were available - probably 3-4 weeks. Not sure if that only related to the 1 O'clock element of the meeting as that was the bit I attended.

Many thanks for posting to let us know what's going on, Vikki.


If possible, I would like to see some funding spent on the children's playground in the Park. The equipment is old and shabby, and the facilities are very limited for the large numbers of families who use the area.

Nunhead Mum - I missed that email but you're right. Meeting will be towards the end of November when some initial drawings will be presented. Probably for the best as it was a little bit difficult to grasp exactly what was up for grabs last week without any outline proposals of drawings presented.


Moos - I will raise that but it seems at the moment that wouldn't be within the proposals that are being drawn up. Though I may be wrong. I'm not saying it doens't need doing though and it does make sense to make sure things like this are mentioned and discussed at the same time.

Dear all


For those interested in this development/new facilities I've just blogged about it here (includes some initial layout drawings):

These plans were meant to be presented at a meeting but that hasn't happened yet. As soon as I know when a meeting might take place I'll pop the details on here.


Victoria.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
