Does anyone know what's happening with the community centre?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,


Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but does anyone know

what is going to become of the community centre

on Lordship lane between The old police station and Sainsburys local

(Red window frames)?


I have heard it's closing. Is it being

knocked down? I can think of many other uses which would benefit the community in the existing building. A new nursery for starters.


Thanks

This is a Southwark Council building which holds the Fred Francis Day centre and also the Southwark Alarm Scheme operators.

A new larger day centre is to be built in Peckham (Cator Street) with a view for longer opening hours and specialist dementia unit(s).

Yes, I think it's due for closure (my Dad has been and now currently goes to the Fred Francis Day Centre) but don't know what it's going to be after that. It's all to do with Southwark's plan on future care for people with Dementia and Alzheimers Disease.

    • Has anyone got a Daybed that are thinking of getting rid of please?
    • It was Thistell and then Le Chardon.  It had a brief stint as Tart  then flooded, closed and reopend as Kartuli
    • The EDF is social media, and it seems to have met its goals of connecting and engaging the local community. The 'media' part isn't a reference to the BBC, it refers to 'a substance that something grows in, lives in or moves through' as a plural of 'medium'. In the sense that the 'something' is people, then it does the job. Whe it comes to the BBC, the 'something' is information. For the most part the contribution has been positive. However, the downsides are driven by anonymity, and have allowed the worst of human nature to surface.
    • I'm pretty sure it was still Le Chardon until 2008, maybe later. They also had The Green on East Dulwich Road, which is now Kokum. Service could be a bit 'French' in both places, but the food was good. It then had an incarnation selling quiches or something similar. It was a bit esoteric. The place where everything went against them was Saucy Chip, which was the old Curry Cabin. It's now Joe & The Juice. SE22 Bar was there before Franklin's, which I reckon opened just before the Millennium. I've got a vague recollection an (East) Dulwich Brasserie/Bistro or something similar around there at some point. The photo of the Dulwich Cafe above reminded me of when they changed the name and sign to 'Cafe Dulwich' to reflect how the area was going upmarket.  They didn't change the menu or decor at all. Just the sign.
