Brimmington Park Festival 28th June 2014

In spite of the torrential rain twice, we had an enjoyable time at Brimmington Park Festival on Saturday. Lots of visitors, and keen interest in our exhibition information about Peckham town centre. This stimulated as usual much useful discussion. Interesting festival activities, and stalls covering a wide range of interests, and local small businesses and groups.

Peckham Rye Station North Wing Retail Unit

An online local petition to Network Rail has been started “to represent local residents’ views on the potential use of the North Wing Retail Unit within Peckham Rye Station.” This unit has recently been restored and is ready and available for letting for commercial retail use. Getting the right kind of use of value to the community is of great interest to all who care about the future of Peckham town centre. The petition is here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/peckham-rye-station-north-wing-retail-unit. The text is copied and pasted here:
**Peckham has a rich and vibrant heritage, filled with a mix of cultures and a warm local history. The decision as to who to grant this space to will play a key role in the future of the area. The unit will represent the cornerstone of the re-development of Peckham Rye Station and therefore it is integral to grant this space to the right group. Therefore, this petition is to ask Network Rail to please take the following key points into consideration when deciding who will be awarded this highly important space.
