Toilet building on Peckham Rye Common

[James Barber]

They are not very near anything and have little 'passive surveillance' people using them or walking by them to you and me.

I've been told they were repeatedly wrecked and some years ago Southwark Council decided it couldn't afford to keep them open and constantly repairing the damage or provide a permanent presence to increase security.

What I'd like to know is:

Where are the toilets that are indicated on the sign as you exit East Dulwich Station having arrived from London. The sign points towards Goose Green and says 700m.

Are these the (closed) Peckham Rye toilets?

[James Barber]

No those would be the toilets at the Leisure centre.

[sophiesofa]

ooh I've often wondered that too - thanks

[Bayleaf]

So members of the public can just trun up at the Leisure Centre and demand to use the toilets?

Though I expect a 'please' and 'thank you' wouldn't go amiss.... :)

Yes but what I was getting at is: Are the staff in the Leisure Centre expected to allow members of the public to use the lavatories in the Leisure Centre as "public toilets"? It seems odd to me that there would be a sign outside the station directing people to some "public tiolets" which are, in fact in a leisure centre and not signposted again apart from outside the station.

Ok - I'm boring myself now...

The first meeting of the sub-group went ahead tonight. Victoria went along to it. A full update can be found here.

Specifically regarding the toilet building, the latest is as follows:

"It was confirmed tonight that Peckham Rye Projects (PRP) have now signed the lease on the building. However, this does not quite mean that the deal is signed, sealed and delivered. PRP are still waiting for the outcome of their bid to the local pot of "cleaner, greener safer" money and still need planning permission to be granted. We've e-mailed Anna at PRP to see if she can give us any further details on PRP latest plans."

Hi,

Appreciate this is an old post but this block now has new double glazing. Any update? Is this still going to be a nursery?

I spotted some activity. Anyone got any ideas?

[Penguin68]

Cottaging?

[Salsaboy]

Gang activity. They like nice cosy surroundings, hence the double glazing.

Toilet please

My Friend got the lease last year to turn it into an art gallery, but was met with such resistance and red tape from the council, that she had to let it go, so I heard.

The builders told me it's going to be a nursery. Due to open in November

[nunhead_man]

That seems a bit mad from a traffic point of view - what about a car parking / waiting area for those dropping off? Expect the cycle route will get hit as usual

[Gavin Edwards]

The builders were almost right. It is going to be a nursery, but it's going to open on the 15th December.
