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.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
