Hi James I was wondering if you have any information regarding the row of shops at the junction of Barry Road and Peckham Rye( opposite the Clock House)? The majority are now closed and it is rumoured that a supermarket is applying for planning permission to build yet another 'local'. Do you know if this is true? Many thanks Michael

I enjoyed this and thought I would share. http://roullierwhite.blogspot.co.uk/

Great idea - we use the Ritzy regularly but parking is now a nightmare. Would be wonderful to have a Cinema we could walk to, showing a good mix of films. Stuff for the kids in the holidays would be a huge hit with local parents and I am sure that residents in general would be really supportive. Very best of luck.

Dear Renata Thank you so much for this news, has made my day! Great to see that common sense has prevailed and looking forward to seeing Goose Green restored to it's former glory. Your time much appreciated - Michael

Thank you so much Burbage - I had no idea that the council had plans to remove the roundabout. Letting it fall into disrepair is obviously part of the exercise. Goose Green roundabout is the gateway to East Dulwich and I have also been rather proud of the way it looks - so much nicer than another grey, ugly junction. I have lived here for 25 years and the traffic still flows fine. I also do not understand why replacing the bricks is any more dangerous now, or more dangerous than replacing water mains with sensible diversion - plus it would be much quicker! I will contact the council and re-post - I hope that I am not in the minority and that everyone will want to preserve this local landmark.

Does anyone know who I should speak to at Southwark Council regarding the depressing state of Goose Green roundabout? It used to look great but has been left for at least 18 months and now very shabby. It's just a few bricks, so surely not that costly. I have tried our councillor, Mr Barber, but have had no response. Many thanks
