every time I go along Nigel Road towards Peckham Rye, I feel sad at the derelict house on the end of this remaining terrace of three pleasant and attractive houses. A lovely view coming along Nigel Road if one wasn't derelict and they all had their fronts cleaned. Why, I keep wondering, has it been allowed to get into that state? I wish I knew; does anyone know?. If only we could do something to get it back into functioning and get that view as good as it could be.

Just where Rye Lane and Peckham Rye meet at the junction with Nigel Road, there are some attractive terraces of three storey buldings. This terrace has bricks with a rosy glow, and a pleasant curve on the terrace. If only it had been cleaned up on the front before the Renewal Scheme ended, its attractiveness would have had much more beneficial effect as part of the entrance to Peckham town centre. Of course the ubiquitous street furniture clutter is well in evidence in this view.

Rye Passage as it was after first temporary improvement in early 2008, paid for by CGS funds. Work now stalled, waiting impatiently for completion with new and realigned fencing to open up the passage and to remove blind spots.

Peckham Rye Passage is a lovely lane just off Peckham Rye leading to Nutbrook Street. It is ruined by broken down fencing which encourages rubbish dumping and urinating at the Peckham Rye end. This is how it was recently after the first clear up.
