I suppose Southwark also have to take on board all the rubbish that is left in parks by people on a daily basis. What would happen if this isn't collected? There has to be some give and take but the weather has a lot to answer for about the weed growth etc.

How rude.


As I said, I am busy. There are lots of things I would like to do if I had the time. Why should I stop posting on here? It is a break from other things, and keeps me in touch with what is going on locally. Since I have lived here a long time I am presumably allowed an interest.


You must have a lot of time on your hands if you could be bothered to look up the number of posts I have made just to have a go at me.

Bit rich coming from someone who has to look up how long someone's been on the forum if you think he or she has said something that you feel might be not to your liking?

Not sure it really matters - can we return to subject of Peckham rye park.


I went to Sexby garden yesterday and it seemed in reasonably good nick.

Perhaps somebody has spent some time on weeding it since I started the thread, then. Hopefully so :)

Well yes, most places are green and lush due to all the rain we had earlier combined with the spells of hot weather.


Unfortunately much of the greenness and lushness in the park borders is (or was when I started the thread) weeds.


For those who aren't gardeners, the problem with weeds is not just that they can look very unsightly in what are supposed to be ornamental borders, but that they compete with the plants which are supposed to be there for space, nutrients and light.


Also, they self seed all over the place and within a very short time what started off as a few weeds have taken over the whole of the space.

Afraid not. Walked through the Sexby Garden today and the beds are full of weeds. Bind weed chocking all the roses. Spoke to one of the gardeners & apparently there are fewer staff & they keep being given ?projects? to do rather than general maintenance & weeding.

Who is giving them these "projects", do you know? (and do you know what they are?)


Surely if there is somebody in charge it should be someone with a basic grasp of the need to keep on top of maintenance?!

    • Hello lovely people, In need of some help please… My landlord has rented a property to me without an EPC.. my understanding is that is illegal. Have asked several times, in last three months and still not forthcoming. Have asked again plus now leaving at the end of the month & ignoring me totally - even to take meter readings & hand keys back!!! I really don’t want to go to court either but not sure as it is a private let whether I can go for mediation. Deposit was lodged via under govt scheme - 60 days later but at least lodged. No inventory on signing either so, not going to pay for anything either.. Could I bring in local councillor? For advice? Thanks and have a good weekend.            
    • Has anyone else found it absolutely impossible to get an appointment at DMC on Crystal Palace Road since they implemented the new “link” system at 8am on a morning ? I was told by the receptionist that all appointments are taken within 15 minutes and it is not possible to book in advance anymore but … wait for it… they are still accepting new patients and there is a HUGE banner outside the surgery advertising this. How can this be allowed when they can’t service their existing patients ? I have left a complaint form but would any other DMC patients like to join forces and see if we can force them to make improvements ?
