So sad to hear of his death, a talented jazz musician. Roy Edward Ayers Jr. was an American vibraphonist, record producer and composer. Ayers began his career as a post-bop jazz artist, releasing several studio albums with Atlantic Records, before his tenure at Polydor Records beginning in the 1970s, during which he helped pioneer jazz-funk.

Hopefully one of the local tech guys can assist you.

This was posted last Saturday by Jb. "No the collections were separate, although both funds transferred to his brother, Asif. You could pop in and speak to his brother if you wanted more details but I believe they plan to fund a well in Africa. Thanks if you donated, the brothers were very grateful and touched."

I "BELIEVE" theres a huge one, ginormous In Burgess Park.

Hopefully if that is the case the skate park can be relocated as it was put together by young people for young people with lots of hard work and effort to achieve what they have done so far.

Agreed, the skate park should remain, especially with all the work those involved have put in to get it up, running and maintaining that enthusiasm.

Depends on who can afford to purchase or lease it and what The Dulwich Estate, Stonegate and Southwark Council will allow to be built or operate on the site. Whatever it is, it needs to attract footfall for itself and businesses around it. The question to ask is what does that part of Dulwich need, that is not within the locality, which will attract custom and footfall, that the site can accommodate and that can offer parking which it already has available. In between Cox's Walk, Dulwich Village, Dulwich College and the park, some sort of establishment that sells drinks and meals. Bit then I'm just chucking ideas around, or maybe someone, Dean, has some radical idea's to take it in a totally different direction. Whatever it becomes it has to be better than the rotting site and eyesore it currently is. Good luck to anyone who takes on the project to redevelop the former Grove Tavern.

ab, - fair enough, we all have our own thoughts, I'm interested to see what Dean has in mind.

Can you share your ideas for the site, please? So the residents can have an idea of what your ideas/plans consist of.
