Are you aware that the young people using the skate park, none of whom (to the best of my knowledge) had previously acted, put on an absolutely amazing performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream actually in and around the skate park? They all learned their words. To the best of my knowledge they all made their costumes. They all attended rehearsals. During some scenes of the play, some of them were actually on skateboards. The performance would have been a credit to professional actors. It was wonderful. There were also a group of people using a small area behind the skateboard as an allotment. They are really keen. I have talked to them. I don't know if they are still there - it hasn't been the season or the weather for much growing lately. As for "underage drinking and drugs " - I have never seen any evidence of either on this site. Have you, or are you just making assumptions? Skateboarding is very skilled. How do you suppose somebody under the influence of alcohol or drugs could do it? The last time I passed, there was a father (I presume) in there with his son (I presume). I don't know who was teaching who, but it was really heartwarming to see. -
Just wondering if the collections were merged, and if we know what charity/charities were supported in the end as a tribute to Akif Mushtaq? Apologies if this information was in another thread which I have missed.

Totally agree with you that the skate park is a great little autonomous zone for kids and youth. But at the same time there's gotta be a way to make better of the pub than having a derelict, vandalised building, even if it means moving the skate park. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's actively antisocial neglect by Dulwich Estate and Stonegate. -

The Council allowed The Co op rear customer car parking area to be built on and as a result, the roads around, had customers parking in their road. and the Councils answer to that is CPZ in the whole area. the residents of Ashbourne grove do not want CPZ, as they feel its just another stealth tax, and that the money is going into street maintenance, for which we already pay exorbitant High Rates. another income for life for the Council and will increase year on year like the garden waste bins and cycle bins.
