Zippos only takes over a small portion of the Rye. I'm against more and more big corporate festivals in places like the Rye. It's a shame to see huge portions of Clapham Common portioned off each summer, and also Battersea for the Formula E or Hyde Park for Winter Wonderland. As others have said, parks are a vital green lung for Londoners - many of whom don't have green spaces of their own - and should be predominantly free and open to all.

Why not get round the problem of secondary ticketing by not having tickets in the first place. Make it free, then noone can complain about the park being taken over. Make it a bring your own bottle, that way its really inclusive, if you fancy a flute of champagne, and I most certainly do, thats groovy, but if a bottle of cheap ciders your things thats fab too. And just just ask lots of local bands to play, they may not have the talent or crowd appeal of Adelle, but they wont cost anything either.


Simples (as the kids say!)

http://www.envfair.org.uk/ I've been to this and it's really good, all pretty much unknown bands fairly locally based lots of interesting and alternative market stalls. Something like this on Peckham Rye free of course would be a big attraction I'm sure. Carshalton had dreadful weather 2015 which is always the danger for these outdoor events, but it was still a great atmosphere.

Totally agree with this.


But I suspect that we don't have the necessary transport infrastructure anyway. And others have raised doubts as to whether the space is actually big enough (the actual open space - "the common" - is far smaller than Victoria Park or Clapham Common).

Dear Councillors.


As Peckham Rye Councillors, who's wards cover the common and park, I would be glad of your responses to my request.


Thank you

"THE PECKHAM RYE MUSIC FESTIVAL TAKES PLACE PRIMARILY ON SATURDAY 14TH MAY 2016 SHOWCASING THE BEST LOCAL ARTISTS, DJ?S, RECORD LABELS AND MORE. WE ARE ALSO BRINGING SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING AND RESPECTED NAMES IN UNDERGROUND MUSIC FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE TO OUR CORNER OF SOUTH EAST LONDON."


Excuse the capitals, them not me.

Sounds good... local artists and underground music. Certainly nothing like a Clapham Common "calling" type festival. (Suspect much of the music will not be to my taste, but that's irrelevant I suppose).


Picking on the address of the domain name registration... this is just petty nit-picking. There could be any number of valid reasons - maybe a friend helping out with the website, or someone's parents address, etc. If you are so concerned, mail them and ask about it. Rather than being so bloody negative.

    • 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 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
