Hi all,

With 2024 General Election fast approaching, I thought it would be useful to have a poll to measure local support for each party.

For simplicity, only the parties standing in the Lewisham West and East Dulwich consistency are listed as options. This is a new constituency for 2024 and covers East Dulwich, Honor Oak, Forest Hill, Sydenham and some parts of Nunhead. You can check which constituency you live in using this page.

I would appreciate if only Lewisham West and East Dulwich residents cast their vote in this (although obviously there is no way of us verifying this!).

This is an anonymous poll and your forum username will not be recorded against your vote.

If anything it just suggests that EDF 'members' are very broadly representative of participative electors in ED, remembering that they are drawn from a somewhat wider universe. But it might mean that another 'political' poll on the forum might, just might, be broadly representative of more general ED political views.

    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
