Some of them less so. It would be great to have an answer over why option 6 was chosen.<br /><br />I agree that we have a problem re. school places, but there are issues with all of the buildings you mention and some have political legacies. Unlikely that former LB will return to being a school, especially since SAZ have launched their sports idea (which is positive). One difficulty is that the entire site (including the car park) is listed. Former LB needs huge capital expenditure as some of buildings are nearly unsafe (as does the Beaufoy). <br /><br />Council may be about to sell off the Olive (primary) school site. I will try to say some more in additional posts over next few weeks.<br /><br />I removed the Beaufoy ticker because it was a plugin and rather slow to load, and swapped it with the calendar, which is embedded and still slow, but serves a wider purpose.SE11 Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883634895974771036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614832110829270140.post-16692757373665573002010-11-23T06:44:17.072+00:002010-11-23T06:44:17.072+00:00Thanks

There still does not seem to be a clear answer on why option 6 (which includes the end of the triangle) has been chosen. Surely there must be an answer. It s hard to believe the council would court unpopularity without reason. <br /><br />I suspect a lot of this originates from insufficient school places. Part of the answer could lie with the unused Beaufoy and largely unused old Lilian Baylis. What happened to your ticker? <br /><br />Same anonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614832110829270140.post-83597211586362738662010-11-22T22:58:38.908+00:002010-11-22T22:58:38.908+00:00Anon, I believe you're entirely right to ask t...Anon, I believe you're entirely right to ask that question. It was the question I asked at first...<br /><br />And then I discovered that the Council drew up 6 ways to expand the school, only one of which included removing the playground (see this post <a href="http://southeasteleven.blogspot.com/2010/09/triangle-continued-why-are-lambeth.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>). <br /><br />So, there are ways of expanding the school without removing the playground (and thus increasing the amount of available place space), and ways that the school and the playground might /share/ the space, but still retain the management by the Triangle Association, but the Council do not seem to be exploring these.<br /><br />A children's playground is never going to win on the grounds of utilitarian argument, but I don't think it needs to come down to that. There are unexplored options that don't entail its removal.SE11 Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883634895974771036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614832110829270140.post-15892017977987079162010-11-22T22:37:02.578+00:002010-11-22T22:37:02.578+00:00Why is it right to support the interests of the ch...Why is it right to support the interests of the children using the triangle over the interests of the Tennison s Children who want/need a bigger playing space? What are the user numbers? <br /><br />I would be concerned if decisions are made on the basis of which parent group organises best and shouts loudest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
