Hello all,


I lived in East Dulwich around 2015/16, and one of the things that always stuck with me was the regular sight of hand-written posters pasted up around the area, although they seemed to be mostly concentrated around Goose Green. They were neatly written, political and religious in nature, terse and sometimes cryptic in wording, and were often accompanied by newspaper cuttings. They referred to themselves as The People's Noticeboard and would say things like:


HOW MANY LUNG BREATHING THINGS WITH NOSTRILS NOT ABOVE FOUR INCHES FROM THE GROUND DIE OF LUNG CANCER? ANSWER VERY FEW.


They would often sign-off with a request for people to write to the Queen directly at Buckingham Palace. I've done some searching online but can find no reference to the posters, although this may speak more to my googling skills than any lack of existing evidence. Does anyone have any memory of these posters? Do you have picturs of them or perhaps even an original copy of one? Are they still being put up? Has anyone looked into them before? And does anyone know who was responsible for creating them? I've attached a photograph I took of one of the posters during my time there if it helps to jog memories. Any information would be of use.


Thanks,

Jamie

    • "Dedicated to the purpose-built student accommodation sector. PBSA News is the leading source of news, insights and analysis for professionals, investors and stakeholders in the purpose-built student accommodation sector. With a mission to provide the latest information and foster collaboration within the rental community."   The PBSA take on the strength of the market seems much more upbeat than does the govt. research paper. Perhaps they are right or perhaps it is in their interests to talk up the market?    
    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
    • Really pleased your cats are both home now, but what a very difficult situation.
    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
