Hi, for those of you who aren't already aware, there is a new campaign to re-open Peckham Lido ( http://peckhampeculiar.tumblr.com/post/94561844474/lets-reopen-peckham-lido ).


If this is something you would support, there is a petition you can sign here:

Thanks

It is a lovely idea and I remember when I first moved here it was open and very popular.

But, in the days when councils are wanting to spend as little as possible and even offload the running of the parks to Friends of Parks type groups and voluntary organisations, do we really imagine this Council will have the funds and drive to open up our Lido again?


On the other hand, loads of money has been found to build the new fitness/gym/pool at Elephant so why not?


And it is at the north end of Peckham Rye Common and last year Pull the Other One hosted the Village Hall Experience on the site. It would be good to do something at this site, and for a few years a Peckham City Farm was suggested.

I agree but perhaps an application can be made to the Heritage Lottery Fund? I wonder if the Friends of Peckham Rye Park have been contacted.

An outdoor facility, especially if it offers food, drink and a place for "community" activities would be a good companion for the trad indoor pool at the DLC. It'd work, but only if it were heated and open year round, early till late (at least in the summer) and if the impetus to get it off the ground continued well past any initial hoopla. I hope it happens: good luck!

Haha - this made me laugh. People have no idea where I mean when I say the King's Arms + Heaton Arms

Have reduced it to bullet points: The cause of damp on the common wall with my neighbour was found to be caused by a slow leak their side which they were unaware of. Leak was repaired and dampness subsided. An experienced drainage man told me there are no underground rivers in East Dulwich My damp patches come and go and are more prevalent in summer when the humidity is high and barely there during the winter. I was considering getting a dehumidifier until I read they can suck the water out of walls/floor and make the problem worse.
