Lush green playing fields

Is anyone else disappointed to see sprinkers being used on sports pitches by local private schools?


In a drought. In the school holidays.


I have contacted the schools directly but they have no plan to change this. Hopefully they will observe the hose pipe ban when it is inevitably enforced.

I think since they’re advertising their sport facilities as part of their pitch to attract “buyers” they’d be daft not to keep the turf in good nick. If they break the rules, report them if you like, but even if people think it’s “inappropriate” they’re not doing anything illegal.

No, not at all.


If and when Thames Water see fit to impose a hosepipe ban, I have no reason to believe they would not comply. Do you?


I know most of the state schools round here don't have playing fields, and that's a different story. But I think you may find that State schools around the country are maintaining (watering) their playing fields where allowed - as are the many other sports field owners and custodians in this area; which include private sports clubs, Dulwich Hamlet FC and Peckham Town, at least one state school's remote playing fields, and charities offering sports provision for kids.

    • That's really awful. There must be someone further up the management chain who could be made aware of this? 
    • I'm assuming that anybody who has a cat can afford  its food, litter, vets' fees etc. Nobody was saying that two quid is "nothing", but it's cheaper than some brands of cat litter, so was hopefully useful to the OP. Still, hopefully your post made you feel better 👍 🤣 We still don't know why there was a bag of cat litter at the bus stop! Surely it would be rather difficult to take it away unnoticed if the owner of the cat litter was  also at the bus stop? It's not like someone distracted your attention and picked your pocket and you didn't notice till some time later! But what is also confusing me is, if the OP knows where the thief lives, why don't they go and ask for their cat litter back?
    • The market is only there for a few hours on Saturdays! Surely all street markets are "a bit tatty"! That seems a strange reason to close a road permanently to traffic!  There is already at least one seat  in North Cross Road (which seems to be quite well used),  apart from those for customers of The Palmerston,  and several of the shops in the road have greenery outside 
    • Couple of potential ideas, anywhere in the East Dulwich areas or say close to the station?
