Crowdfunding: The Peckham Coal Line
Other | Wednesday 12th August 2015 | Christina
The Peckham Coal Line collective want to turn a disused railway into an urban park.
As well as adding some green to the old railway coal sidings and being a place to walk, cycle and enjoy in its own right, the elevated park will also connect the communities of Queens Road and Rye Lane. Bridging the gap between the busy high streets will increase visitors to the area, boost trade and grow the network of local community groups.
The response has been positive so far and now the group need funds to bring the project to life – the costs include a feasibility study and an asset protection agreement as well as for workshops and events to engage the community.
So far The Peckham Coal Line has raised over £8000 but there’s still a long way to go to reach their £66, 211 target. Follow The Peckham Coal Line on Twitter and support the project here.
