Derelict Grove Tavern - who to contact?

[Dean Connell]

Hey all,

Does anyone know how best to contact The Dulwich Estate or Stonegate? I'm a local entrepreneur with an idea for redeveloping the Derelict Grove Tavern. 

Thanks, 

Dean

It doesn't need redeveloping.  The skate park is a perfect use.

The skate park organically grew out of the situation to make it permanent defeats the purpose and the philosophy of such places

The skate park is foul. It’s an eyesore and also encourages underage drinking and drugs.

Evidence?

Please dont redevelop....the skatepark is a  rare place where young kids can chat, connect, and do something outside of the addictive but dull world of the internet. Community is one of our most precious parts of life.

How mean-minded to call the creative project of a group of enterprising youngsters, using their time productively 'foul'?  Surely taking the initiative to set this u,p so young people can be outside and exercising is a positive and productive thing to be admired? 'Underage drinking and drugs' are more likely to happen when young people have nowhere to go and nothing to do (plus they can take place anywhere!) . How is a derelict pub better?

Totally agree with you that the skate park is a great little autonomous zone for kids and youth. But at the same time there's gotta be a way to make better of the pub than having a derelict, vandalised building, even if it means moving the skate park. It's not just a missed opportunity, it's actively antisocial neglect by Dulwich Estate and Stonegate.
