at one point there was even a notice pinned to the fence saying something along the lines of "we are mending your pipes, but won't always be visible on this site" presumably to forestall people saying "what are they doing there? is any work really happening?" .

The site is close to where Thomas Tilling had his first Omnibus garage (Publice Service Vehicles), but I think it's more likely that PSV stands for Pressure Safety Valve(s) associated with the mains water network and/or the local reservoirs, which are constantly leaking.

The holes now being dug in the Peckham / Nunhead Lane area is an ongoing investigation prior to a Wind Turbine being sited on the Peckham Rye.

The object is to find the River Peck to use the natural water that is fed from a spring.

It appears to be that it will power the pumps to the refurbished Peckham Lido ( open air swimming pool ).

Concern has been voiced of the appearance of the Wind Turbine, it has been suggested that it might be in the form of an old style Wind Mill, with four Sails instead of three Propellers, this will blend in with the open area of Peckham Rye, and may bring an interest to the Rye.

Due to the local epidemic of mosquitoes causing harmful attacks on the workers on site, the work has been suspended until winter months.

This does give the public some time, if they wish to give their views on this development.

    • Whilst I agree, I have been thinking about this recently in relation to some of the other posts on here about anti social behaviour. We are all products of our upbringing - our experiences at home, school and beyond - plus whatever we have inherited genetically which might affect our behaviour (the nature/nurture thing). So in this case, if people haven't been brought up to love and appreciate trees and other wild things, plus as you say they may be deeply unhappy (or have other undiagnosed issues) it's easy to see how they could have ended up doing this. Also, it's possible they had quite low intelligence and didn't really grasp what they were doing and the effect it would have on so many other people. But that's just surmise and possibly completely wrong. From what I've read about it, they seemed to be two mates egging each other on, like two big kids. I'm not for a minute excusing what they did, and it's right they should be punished, but I really hope they might get some sort of rehabilitation in prison (it would  be appropriate to have them do some kind of community service like planting saplings, wouldn't it, or working in woodland conservation). And the same goes for phone robbers and shoplifters (rehabilitation, not planting saplings), though for SOME  shoplifters there might also be other issues at play, not excluding poverty. Sorry Jasonlondon,  I've gone off at a real tangent here, lucky it's in the lounge! Oh oops I've just noticed it isn't. Sorry admin. Oh, and then there's a whole philosophical discussion to be had about free will and determinism ..... 🤣🤣🤣
    • Thanks! I'll find out in a few weeks when I get the results! It was one of those disconcerting things where a disembodied voice keeps booming  at you to breathe in and hold it, then breathe normally. Apart from that it was OK, all completely painless. I imagine there will be quite a few people going from ED, though I presume it covers the whole Southwark area 
    • Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years Good to see these two jailed today for four years. There’s something deeply disturbing about people who destroy trees—any tree. Whether it’s a centuries-old landmark or a sapling in a quiet park, trees are living beings that offer beauty, shade, and life. The men who cut down the Sycamore Gap tree are a stark example of how far some people will go to lash out at something peaceful and meaningful. People who harm nature like this aren’t just destructive—they are often deeply unhappy. It takes a troubled mind to look at a tree and see something to ruin instead of something to protect.
