Southwark Council have published their New Southwark Plan preferred option which states that the green space (playing field) at Judith Kerr Primary School should be designated ?Open Space? status. The proposed designation to ?Open Space? in the New Southwark Plan will help protect it from the current threat of development by The Dulwich Estate.


JKPS is a state primary school and leases its building and grounds, which includes the green space, from The Dulwich Estate. The Dulwich Estate incorporated an option into the lease allowing it to develop residential housing on the green space subject to planning permission. If the development is approved, the green space will be permanently lost to the school. This will remove the school's only playing field, will reduce the outside space available by more than half, and remove all green space. This will severely restrict opportunities for education, play and sport for generations of children. Any development will add congestion to a very busy intersection and its proximity to the school gates will constitute an ongoing safety risk.


The New Southwark Plan preferred option is now open for consultation - Closing date is 5pm 12th Feb 2016. We need your help to ensure the proposed designation of 'Open Space' status is approved. Please register your support for this new designation by contacting:


Planning Policy, Regeneration, Freepost, SE1919/14, London, SE1p 5LX

Also, please sign this petition to Southwark Council to designate the playing field at Judith Kerr Primary School to 'Playing Fields' and 'Local Green Space'. https://www.change.org/p/southwark-council-save-judith-kerr-primary-school-s-only-playing-field-from-being-developed?utm_source=guides&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition_created

Thanks for letting us all know. I've written in to give my support for the the plan for Open Space designation.


It might be worth posting this in the Family Room as well and asking Admin to make it sticky (ie. remain as the top post) until the consultation is over.

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
