Sat 19th July 2pm - public debate in the Bussey Building

A reminder of, and an invitation to, a special opportunity, this week on Saturday 19th July 2pm:
* catch up with the plans for the future of the area around central Rye Lane,
* take part in a live radio discussion about the cultural renaissance there.
It would be great to see you there. See details below.

From all at Peckham Vision

_________________________________________________

SPECIAL EVENT on SATURDAY 19th JULY 2pm:
Chronic Art Foundation with South City Radio (formerly Radio Peckham).
Venue: 3rd floor Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane entrance.

PUBLIC DEBATE about the future of this part of Peckham town centre and its role in cultural renaissance. Live on South City Radio's programme 'The Primer'.

Afternoon refreshments.

The Peckham Futures exhibition, open 1pm - 5pm Saturday & Sunday:
plans, drawings, visions, ideas for exciting, sustainable regeneration in this heart of the town centre, focussing on the Bussey Building and surrounding area. This is the site mistakenly declared 'derelict' by TfL four years ago, to justify their decision to locate the proposed tram depot there. The site had already for years been nurturing new creative and small enterprises. This is now much more obvious as illustrated by the stream of cultural activities now being generated by those on the site.

Radio Preview: you can listen to a preview of the debate in the recent special edition of the monthly show 'The Primer' - which discusses the plans for the future of the area, and the role of the strategic site 63P and the Bussey Building in opening up the town centre.

The Spike is a beautiful and diverse community space that raises awareness of low-impact living, celebrates the fascinating history of the place and makes dreams come true.

Emerging from DIY culture, the Spike Surplus Scheme landed in 1998 in an abandoned, fly-tipped, burnt-out building. This building was formerly The South London Children’s Scrap Scheme, and before that, the administrative block for the largest Doss-house in London (check ‘Down and Out in Paris and London’, George Orwell), providing shelter for up to 1,100 wayfarers a night.

Help save the Spike!!! http://www.petitiononline.com/paulk/

The Spike operates on a not-for-profit basis, so that it is within reach of everyone. To date we have never charged admission for anything. This has been made possible thanks to local support and by a favourable lease from the council.
But this may end soon! The Spike is under threat of closure! Please help! Sign the petition! http://www.petitiononline.com/paulk/

_____________________________________________
FURTHER INFORMATION FROM CHOUMERT SQUARE
Choumert Square, built in the latter half of the 19th Century, presents to the visitor not a Square but a laneway of 46 tiny cottages leading to a communal `walled’ garden. The gardens of this secret Southwark street are amongst the tiniest it’s possible to tend! They’ve evolved over some twenty years, triggered initially by a few neighbours’ gardening passions that infected the enthusiasm of others. Today the Square gardens uniquely demonstrate how gardening unites a community.
The street is `divided’ into a sunny and shady side, and the gardens’ eco-climate (and planting) reflect this. Key features are the variety of roses growing in the Square, the mix of trees (including birch, willow, eucalyptus, acer and a dramatic robinia), and a colourful array of perennial border plants and annuals, many home-grown. The garden has been featured on BBC TV (Gardeners’ World) and on Channel 4, in numerous magazines and national press articles (including BBC Good Homes, Period Living, London Evening Standard, The Sunday Times and The Guardian). Winner of numerous prizes, in 2007 it was awarded a first prize for Best Community Garden, Southwark in Bloom.
We were extremely excited in November 2007 when, unknown to us, our Square was nominated for a Conservation Foundation Green Award…. and won one of the special 25 `Blooming Fantastic' Awards which were made to those areas that had brought a Green awareness to corners of London.
The Open Day is primarily about gardens and sharing with others our residents’ love of this little corner of the inner city; but it is also renowned for its demonstrable community spirit. Visitors will find themselves invited to sit and partake of a wide variety of refreshments in between purchasing delicious home-baked cakes, artwork, crafts, plants, books and photo mementoes of their visit.
