And if they are indeed trapping foxes at Goodrich, what happens ot the foxes (and cats) they catch? There may be concerns about potential harm to children from foxes on its premises, but it doesn't sound like they're dealing with the issue properly


Also intersted to see some of the responses to the OP. I thought that the lesson that 'we need to listen to children' had been well learned by now.

Was this happening on school land under direction of the school? I still find it hard to believe tbh.

will report this trapping through proper channels, have school got permission to trap foxes, how do they "dispose of them", how long do they leave these poor things before dealing with, who is it that deals with them, IF these reports are true this may be a serious case of abuse, torture, will be calling scool first thing to ascertain if true.

If this all happens to be true, it doesn't sound like the situation is being dealt with properly at all.


& I think it's completely inappropriate for children of such a young age to be so easily exposed to such a thing. Shame on this school if this does happen to be true, they are aware of what's taking place on their premises & are not doing anything about it.


...I'd be traumatized & wouldn't want to go back to at least that school either!


Angusvanfrehley I do find your second post a tad bit frustrating. It would be nice if you actually responded to some of the questions you have gotten from making this post rather than escalate something that may or may not even be true... Just a thought.

      GALA 2026

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      While it is good that GALA have withdrawn their application for a second weekend, local people and councillors will likely have the same fight on their hands for next year's event. In reading the consultation report, I noted the Council were putting the GALA event in the same light as all the other events that use the park, like the Circus, the Fair and even the FOPR fete. ALL of those events use the common, not the park, and cause nothing like the level of noise and/or disruption of the GALA event. Even the two day Irish Festival (for those that remember that one) was never as noisy as GALA. So there is some disingenuity and hypocrisy from the Council on this, something I wll point out in my response to the report. The other point to note was that in past years branches were cut back for the fencing. Last year the council promised no trees would be cut after pushback, but they seem to now be reverting to a position of 'only in agreement with the council's arbourist'. Is this more hypocrisy from 'green' Southwark who seem to once again be ok with defacing trees for a fence that is up for just days? The people who now own GALA don't live in this area. GALA as an event began in Brockwell Park. It then lost its place there to bigger events (that pesumably could pay Lambeth Council more). One of the then company directors lived on the Rye Hill Estate next to the park and that is likely how Peckham Rye came to be the new choice for the event. That person is no longer involved. Today's GALA company is not the same as the 'We Are the Fair' company that held that first event, not the same in scope, aim or culture. And therein lies the problem. It's not a local community led enterprise, but a commercial one, underwritten by a venture capital company. The same company co-run the Rally Event each year in Southwark Park, which btw is licensed as a one day event only. That does seem to be truer to the original 'We Are the Fair' vision, but how much of that is down to GALA as opoosed to 'Bird on the Wire' (the other group organising it) is hard to say.  For local people, it's three days of not being able to open windows, As someone said above, if a resident set up a PA in their back garden and subjected the neighbours to 10 hours of hard dance music every day for three days, the Council would take action. Do not underestimate how distressing that is for many local residents, many of whom are elderly, frail, young, vulnerable. They deserve more respect than is being shown by those who think it's no big deal. And just to be clear, GALA and the council do not consider there to be a breach of db level if the level is corrected within 15 minutes of the breach. In other words, while db levels are set as part of the noise management plan, there is an acknowledgement that a breach is ok if corrected within 15 minutes. That is just not good enough. Local councillors objected to the proposed extension. 75% of those that responded to the consultation locally did not want GALA 26 to take place at all. For me personally, any goodwill that had been built up through the various consultations over recent years was erased with that application for a second weekend, and especially given that when asked if there were plans for that in post 2025 event feedback meetings (following rumours), GALA lied and said there were no plans to expand. I have come to the conclusion that all the effort to appease on some things is merely an exercise in show, to get past the council's threshold for the events licence. They couldn't give a hoot in reality for local people, and people that genuinely care about parkland, don't litter it with noisy festivals either.
