PECKHAM VOICES


Do you live in Peckham and have a story to tell? Wherever you come from, whatever you do, if you live locally then we want to hear from you!


Let's start with the obvious, we reckon Peckham is pretty brilliant, and so we've set-up Peckham Voices to celebrate and honour all the stories and diverse experiences that make up our unique community. With the help of Southwark Council and Peckham Festival we'll be creating an online archive of Peckham's stories - from work, play, love, heritage and experiences of change - which we hope will promote the value of listening and preserve our local tales for years to come. All those who take part will be given CD / electronic copies of their interviews and a place in the public archive. Next year the stories will also feature as part of a wider exhibition at Copeland Gallery.


Over the Peckham Festival weekend we'll be recording your stories from our travelling booth. Take part by booking a slot at one of the sessions below. We look forward to seeing you for a chat! If you cant make any of the dates below we are happy to arrange slots beyond the festival


September 8th: Peckham Liberal Club 2pm - 8pm


September 9th: Peckhamplex 10am - 4pm


September 10th: Peckham All Saints Church 10am - 4pm


September 11th: Blenheim Arches 10am - 2pm

    • Chiming in to recommend @Gardenman / Oli Hawkins who runs Exterior Design Gardens. Oli and his team completely revamped our small back garden last Spring (February 2024) by sourcing laying new tiling to replace a concrete base. Besides doing a GREAT job, it was very reasonably priced (completed on budget) and his team was really friendly, respectful and approachable. I also was super appreciative of how responsive Oli was, it's refreshing to work with such a diligent communicator. Exterior Design Gardens T: 07549418219 T: 07759862191 Email: [email protected]
    • Guess there is nothing as queer as folks (or American voters) 
    • Just moved into the area and thought id sign up to the forum to find local business to use, I would also like to recommend AFA waste, called them yesterday and they came today. Dean was great he showed me he's licence and was in and out as quick as I could say job done. 
    • In a city where successive governments have allowed property prices to spiral out of control, this just seems like a really cynical move. Given that every other mid-terrace already has a full size dormer, I can't see what benefit there is to anyone to prevent further such development from happening. For many it will be the only way to increase space without moving out of the area. As families grow up and kids get bigger, more space is needed. What is the reason for doing this? It can't be aesthetics because then presumably they'd go to all the other properties and force them to reverse their developments. OK it seems like permitted development stands for houses. What on earth benefit is there to restrict the top floor in a house (i.e. a flat) from doing the same thing? Also what'll it do to property prices? Surely it could put a big value divide between neighbours houses? Really bizarre thinking
