Dear Knitters

Local health visitors would hugely appreciate your help in promoting breastfeeding in the area and help mums and babies having breastfeeding difficulties. If any of you have attended one of the local breastfeeding cafes, you may have seen the midwives and health visitors using a knitted breast to demonstrate good attachment, breast massage, hand expressing etc. If you've not seen one then a photo is attached.

We would love to be able to have enough available for each practitioner to carry one around with them on visits but there are no funds at present to buy them. I'm not a knitter myself but have been told that making them involves following a fairly simple pattern and can be a great way of using up spare odds and ends of wool as there are endless colour combinations.

So, if you are willing and able then please get in touch and spread the word around fellow knitters!

Many thanks

Sophie (Peckham & Dulwich HV Team)

- Peckham Rye Park Floor Alleviation - Progress?

  I'm surprised at how relaxed everyone appears to be about the works. They've been designed for: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly” in the park. This has been done at taxpayer expense, to mitigate an increased risk of houses flooding, caused in no small part by the failure of Thames Water to invest in a drainage and sewage system in dire need of upgrading / modernising, and unable to cope. Thames Water have paid out millions in bonuses and dividends since privatisation, run up huge debts, and are now on the brink of bankruptcy. Meanwhile we are paying for their under investment in the drainage and sewage system. The park will likely be waterlogged more frequently and for longer.

  I started a new topic and would love to see you all pop over to help me- I think some excellent ideas are here. I'm keen to get in touch with the lease owners.

  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

  If they have altered the state of at least part of Peckham Rye with their anti-flooding measures then perhaps they should alter the planting in that area to take account of the more marshy ground. I am sure that the horticulturalists in The Horniman Park (who do create different habitats) could advise - I assume for a price as consultants - for appropriate new planting to take account of any habitat changes. If it is to be water-logged for considerable periods then it's use as playing fields would need to be re-examined. Perhaps water polo? Actually this is quite a serious issue - I used to play sport in an area of water meadow where a boy drowned in the mud under a collapsed scrum.
