Consultation on Changing facilities and One O'clock club in Peckham Rye Park

[hpsaucey]

I accept that people are busy with the local elections, but the 1 million pound(?) project for the park is down in the London Party local election leaflet that came round so it would be nice to know a little bit more.

Hi everyone,

I know plans and consultation documents are being developed for the Southwark website. I won't however, be able to find out when this will go on-line until after the election,

Certainly no consultations underway about this or recently closed:http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200024/consultations/1703/petitions

I discussed this with Council officers a couple of weeks ago. The paperwork is being prepared to go on the website, I will chase this up after the elections.

Where is this Uphill Stream everyone is on about?

It goes from just inside the 1 'o'clock club playground, past the roundabout, past the springy boards, under a little bridge and terminates in a clump of rocks. If your walking from the caf to Barry road it's on your left.

I definitely think both toddler play areas could do with a revamp. They are both a bit dismal and uninspiring compared to the rest of the park - the play areas at goose green and hillyfields are both much better if the powers that be are looking for ideas. I think we need to see the plans to be able to comment properly, but i for one am pleased there is some sort of plan in motion!

Anyone have any information about the 'new' playground plans for Peckham Rye? Is it happening and if so when (and where?) I can't find anything online.

Many thanks!

There is an update!

Southwark Council has selected two architects to design new play facilities and a changing room area at Peckham Rye Park.

It was announced on 21 March 2016 that Curl la Tourelle + Head has been chosen to design new changing rooms next to the football pitches and a new children?s playroom, while Turkington Martin has been appointed to conceive a new children?s play area for Peckham Rye Common.

The project is funded by the Olympic Legacy Funding and the council?s capital funding.

Barrie Hargrove, cabinet member for parks, leisure and public health, said that the council was ?very keen to ensure the local community remains involved in the project throughout? and would therefore be establishing a stakeholder reference group ?to keep information flowing to all interested parties?.

He added: "This time of austerity has raised many challenges for us, but I am proud to say that despite this Southwark Council has still been able to invest millions in our parks and open spaces, including this significant project in Peckham Rye that recognises the importance of this historic open space to residents.
