Dulwich Hospital site consultation

[BrandNewGuy]

A consultation concerning the future of the whole of the Dulwich Hospital site has been announced ? this was in the Dulwich Community Council newsletter:

Major developments on the Dulwich hospital site are underway to expand and improve the range of essential public services available to the local community. Community Health Partnerships, NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group, The Charter Schools Educational Trust and Southwark Council are working in partnership to deliver a new primary and community health centre and a new community secondary school.

We want your views.

Thanks BrandNewGuy

I'm pleased to see them engaging with the community but surprised at the timing of the meeting - finishing at 7.30pm on a Tuesday is not of great help to those who work and commute. I've sent the email below pointing this out and hope to see a positive response.

Dear Sirs

I've just seen notice of the planning consultation meeting for the Dulwich Hospital Site to be help 4.30pm to 7.30pm 22 March.

I live on Melbourne Grove backing on to the site. Myself and many other road residents attended the planning consultation meeting for the new school on the site and whilst there saw many other local residents in attendance. These meetings were held both on multiple days and also at more work friendly hours (they finished at 9pm) to engage better with the local community.

I note that plans are to be available after the meeting in the hospital but the meeting is more important for engagement, rather than information, due to being able to discuss the plans with and ask questions of your representatives.

I would be grateful if you could please consider extending the timing of your proposed meeting to make it more accessible to the local community.

I like the kind of buildings the architects have designed. http://fcbstudios.com/ I just hope that they are given a free hand and aren't having to work with the existing hospital. It would be great to see an inspirational building, designed for teaching and learning in the 21st century.

A school -- and the Green Dale playing fields within a five-minute walk IF the tunnel beneath the railway line is re-opened (and widened, and brightly lit, and CCTV-monitored, and fitted with call-alarm boxes...).

The St Francis estate, where I live (Abbotswood Road and its tributaries), would see more walkers and bicyclists if that tunnel were re-opened for students; and why shouldn't it be accessible to the rest of us? Another route to Sainsbury's, to DHFC... Not a bad thing.
