Does anyone know what's going on with the Salvation Army's former HQ opposite Denmark Hill station. Is the college being converted into housing? Has King's taken it over? Why all the traffic-works?

I searched on here but couldn't find a thread relating to this huge endeavour.

There was a thread on this but I can't find it either. It is still the Salvation Army training college, it's not being converted into anything nor has it been taken over. Here's the planning apps: http://planningonline.southwarksites.com/planningonline2/AcolNetCGI.exe?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPSESSION= (Type William Booth into the address search.)

There's lots about it on the SA site and on Southwark planning - it is being retained by the SA and will remain a training and education facility. They are updating a lot of the existing accommodation (disabled access etc) and adding more.


I thought the existing traffic works on that bit of Denmark Hill were part of the long process of replacing water/gas/electricity services which have been ongoing in SE22 for what seems like forever? Haven't looked too closely however.

I work for The Salvation Army and can confirm that it is still The William Booth College of Training for Salvation Army Officers. It has over the years suffered immense subsidence and the inside has been in a bad state of repair. But because of the presevation order on it the updates and the finance for such a project has been on hold for many years. The project is due to be finished early 2012.


Inside the college will be bought upto the 21st Century inside unlike its Victorian and rundown appearence inside. The accommodation is also being bought upto scratch. The building is not being sold or being made into private flats as was rumoured or feared.


Any further questions I will do my best to answer them for you.


Thanks

I don't know the correct answer to your question but I will endeavour to find out for you. But to reassure you no public money would have been used for this.


Social projects and things like that are kept totally separately.

"Discuss life in London's East Dulwich. Talk about local restaurants, pubs, shops, services, transport, planning, it's up to you." That's what Mr/Mrs/Ms Administrator have stated should be discussed in this section.

If traffic jams related to roadworks, which started originally outside Denmark Hill station and are now heading south down Dog Kennel Hill, is not an East Dulwich issue, I don't know what is. Mr Dale, would you say that a thread about Dulwich Cricket Club should not be in this section, because the club is actually situated in Herne Hill. With respect Mr Dale, I suggest you up the quality of your contribution. All the best TQ

    • I have not. Both things are true.
    • I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
    • Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items. 
    • Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
