I agree its good to have a conversation about what Lordship lane really needs and I feel we are doing that in this forum; and some trying to steer it away from what commerce needs (lordship lane) and toward what people need, particularly our future generations who are being left a fractured future and are responding with higher suicide rates and depression.Ā no doubt the world of profit will win, but that is why some of us wish to speak out even if in vain. Ā I agree with you that there may be some underage drink drugs but would we all prefer that to be done behind closed doors .... I think more dangerous actually. Ā I applaud your optimism that dulwich estates could consider a skatepark into Dulwich park, maybe, although it could have closing time, insurance, safety issues. It would be great if a developer wants to include a skatepark, but I wonder what he would gain from that in terms of his profit.Ā I would rather give the benefit of doubt to those who leave behind the empty digital world and bravely try something communal, generative, challenging. Ā In the 1970s a tv programme urged teenagers toĀ "turn off your TV set and do something less boring instead" only some families can afford clubs...... Ā Ā Ā Ā -

I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this Ā branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, likeĀ Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one donāt fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldnāt there be more flexibility? Iād love to hear what others thinkāshould this policy be reconsidered?
