Peckham residents will be glad to know that charges are being (temporarily) lifted for specific times in Peckham's Council owned car parks in December - see details below. These revert us to the position before the extensive new charges were imposed with inadequate information and consultation earlier this year.
Nunhead & Peckham Community Council had already asked that the Council suspend the new charges until a thorough review and consultation is carried out because of the bad effects they are having. The Community Council in January will be asked to pursue this vigorously.
_________________________________________________
MESSAGE FROM THE COUNCIL:
There will be free car parking in all four Council owned car parks; (the Blue is free)
1.Stead Street (Walworth area)
2.Chourmert Road (Peckham)
3.Copeland Road (Peckham)
4.Cerise Road (Peckham)
The concession will commence from Saturday 12th December and will include Sunday 13th December it will also allow for free parking after 6.30pm Monday to Friday (allowing for late night shopping) and the following week will be identical Saturday 20th December including Sunday 21st December Monday to Friday free parking after 6.30pm.

Southwark traders get boost from free weekend parking
Published on: 09/12/2008
With small businesses feeling the bite of the credit crunch, one London borough has decided to drop car parking charges in all council-run car parks over Christmas to boost support for local traders.
The Southwark Council car parks in Stead Street (Walworth), Choumert Grove, Copeland Road and Cerise Road (all in Peckham) will be free on the following weekends - 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28 December.
Car parks will also be free every night from Friday 12 December, right up to 3 January 2009.
Councillor Jeff Hook, Executive member for Environment, said:
“This is a tough festive season for many, with residents tightening their belts and local businesses doing everything they can to get shoppers to come in and buy.
“By making council car parks free on these dates, we hope that this will be all the incentive residents need to use their local shops for Christmas presents and New Year supplies.”
“Local shops are often locally owned and run by people living in Southwark, so we have to do what we can to help them at this time.”

Tues 9th Dec neighbourhood Planning & the PAAP
Has your neighbourhood been affected by planning applications or planning enforcements? Would you like to change things so they take more account of the local neighbourhood character and of residents' views? If so, you may be interested in a meeting organised by the Bellenden Residents' Group next week, details below. If you would like to come, please email to let us know.
_______________________________________
Rye Lane West Neighbourhood
* future developments & planning applications
* local residents meeting with the Council's Planners & Lane Ward Councillor
* start developing our local neighbourhood description
* a first look at the PAAP and how it affects us.
Tuesday 9th December 6.30-8.30pm
in the Bussey building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15
entrance through the passage way, opposite Blenheim Grove.
refreshments & exhibition from 6pm
__________________________________________
In the neighbourhood to the west of Rye Lane, in Peckham, over the years we have had numerous planning applications (and enforcement issues) which have resulted in many objections. After much effort, some of these have been changed. We have often thought that if developers knew before they started what local people think is acceptable, in the form of a 'neighbourhood profile', we might just possibly be able to avoid a lot of upset, effort and time.
NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE
We are meeting with the Planners to see if we can produce such a profile for our neighbourhood to the west of Rye Lane, in the forthcoming discussions about the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP). This is supported by The Lane ward Councillor Gordon Nardell who will also be at the meeting.
Such a process might be of interest to residents in other neighbourhoods, especially those affected by the PAAP. So if you would like to think about arranging such a meeting for your neighbourhood, you will be welcome to come and learn from this meeting about what might be involved in creating a 'neighbourhood profile', what might flow from that, and from our first look at the PAAP and how it affects us in our neighbourhood. Some of this might have relevance in your own neighbourhood.
FURTHER INFORMATION
The PAAP (Peckham Area Action Plan) is a very important Planning development which will establish the new future planning policy for Peckham. For information about the PAAP, please see:www.southwark.gov.uk/futurepeckham
Further information on some issues raised for the future of Peckham town centre, a core part of the PAAP, see www.peckhamvision.org

loss of East Croydon-London Bridge service
Email from Southwark Rail Users Group (SRUG)
Do you use rail services to London Bridge or services to East Croydon from our local stations? Do you know that the East Croydon to London Bridge two trains an hour service, which goes through East Dulwich, Peckham Rye, Queens Rd, and North Dulwich stations, is being cut in December? This cuts our local link to East Croydon and Gatwick, and cuts two trains an hour to London Bridge. If this affects you, whichever constituency you are in, please respond to Tessa Jowell's on-line survey - see below. If you live in Camberwell & Peckham constituency you could also usefully email Harriet Harman MP
Southwark Rail Users Group (SRUG) covers rail routes and stations serving Peckham Rye, Nunhead, South Bermondsey, Queens Road, Denmark Hill, East Dulwich, North Dulwich.
_________________________________________
EMAIL FROM TESSA JOWELL MP
I hope you do not mind me sending you this email but it is about an issue that I know is of importance to many people living in my constituency.
I am concerned that a new rail timetable that commences on 14 December will remove two trains per hour from the off-peak timetable on the service running to London Bridge through Gipsy Hill, West Norwood, Tulse Hill, North Dulwich and East Dulwich.
I opposed these changes with Southern Rail and the Department for Transport but, surprisingly, a passenger representative group supported them and they will now go ahead. The new timetable provides four off-peak trains to and from London Bridge every hour instead of the current six. The trains to be removed are the ones that run every half hour from London Bridge to/from Smitham via East Croydon. The peak service is unaffected.
I want to hear your views about how these changes will affect you. Please take a few minutes to complete my survey by clicking on the link below or by pasting it into your browser:
www.tessajowell.net
You can be assured that I will use your response to support local rail users in getting the best possible service when timetables are being revised.
With best wishes,
Tessa Jowell

RLSAG (Rye Lane & Station Action Group) October 08 minutes
The minutes of the 22nd October 2008 Rye Lane & Station Action Group (RLSAG) meeting are attached for information.
Summary
This was the 10th RLSAG meeting on the Group's 4th anniversary. It was very well attended by residents with nearly 50 present, and also other stakeholders - Network Rail, Southern Rail, and the Council. The rail companies reported on current improvements to the railway infrastructure in and around the station and tracks, and the Council presented a report on how to achieve the transformation of the station area including the new piazza. Peckham Vision and The Peckham Society presented ideas on how those very welcome developments would fit into the vision of a transformed central Rye Lane, including the emerging Copeland Cultural Quarter on the site designated for the tram depot. The Council explained that the forthcoming consultations on the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP) provided the context for considering all these ideas. The positive ideas were welcomed by the meeting as realistic ways of transforming the town centre. The obstacles were acknowledged, but also that there was willingness of the Council and community to work together to overcome them.
_____________________________________________
If you are coming to the Southwark Rail Users Group meeting on Monday 17th November, you might find it useful to read these minutes before that meeting, as they include reports on current improvements at Peckham Rye station.

The community conference on the 22nd November will be a platform for learning about the available technologies, discussing which are most appropriate for the locale and then forming working groups to make the ideas happen!
WE NEED YOU!
We need you to join us to make it happen. So if any of the energy generating ideas interest you then join us and take part in making it happen. If you're interested in people and how they work together then join us and help set up a locally run, democratic company. Or if you are interested in investing some of your hard earned cash then join us to help set up accessible financial models of generating energy.
There are countless opportunities for generating and using energy sustainably in Peckham: let's get to work!

Waste recycling planning application
Dear local resident
You will be interested in this if you live near the Old Kent Road or on roads leading through surrounding neighbourhoods to the Old Kent Road.
See information below from residents who live near the proposed waste recycling plant to be located on or adjacent to the gas works site on the Old Kent Road. They draw attention to what they say will be harmful affects for their neighbourhood and that the deadline for comments and objections to the planning application is 7th November 2008.
OBJECTIONS/COMMENTS should be emailed:

WASTE MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS WILL IMPACT ON OUR AREA
For nearly 3 years, Southwark Council have been planning to build a huge waste management facility near our homes. Recently, they published their plans and we have realised the massive impact they will have on all of us. The Council's own proposals tell us that they include:
On Old Kent Road:
* Removing the bus stops near 'Toys 'R' Us'
* Removing a pedestrian crossing and narrowing the pavements near the site - increasing the risks to pedestrians (including children to and from school)
* Up to 1200 extra vehicles on surrounding roads every day - that's 1 a minute!
* Even longer delays to bus journeys, and further to walk to the bus-stop
On Asylum Road:
* One of the main access roads to the site
* Noisy lorries using Asylum Road from 6am, 7 days a week
* Probable removal of all car parking on Asylum Road.
* Congestion - at least 15 cars queuing to use the junction with Old Kent Road.
* Greater than 90% traffic saturation on Asylum road.
* Risk of subsidence to properties along Asylum Road.
* Diversion of traffic from nearby roads (alteration to Commercial Way access)
WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR ME…?
* traffic congestion and extra vehicle noise and fumes pollution
* Industrial site pollution (Noise, Bio-aerosol/particle - SMELLS and GERMS)
* Danger to pedestrians and road users, car parking spaces removed
* Potential health risks of the site on local residents/workers/school children
* Negative effect on house prices
WE CANNOT LET THIS HAPPEN ! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN AGAINST THE COUNCIL'S PLANS, PLEASE E-MAIL THE COUNCIL URGENTLY BEFORE 07.11.08 [see contact details above]
Further information from us at: info@grenierresidents.co.uk
The Industrial Site will be run by a commercial company VEOLIA whose aim will be to make as much profit as possible and obviously increase its workload which will have drastic consequences for us all residents.

Sternhall Lane, Nigel Rd, Peckham Rye, Heaton Rd junctions
The Council Traffic Department is studying how to improve the safety of the junctions at:
* Nigel Road/Peckham Rye and
* Sternhall Lane/Heaton Road/Rye Lane
See email below with further information. If you have experience of these junctions and would like to ask questions or make suggestions to contribute to their thinking: email
to: Chris.Mascord@SOUTHWARK.GOV.UK
cc: Bellenden.Residents.Group@nutbrook.demon.co.uk
__________________________________________
From: Chris.Mascord@SOUTHWARK.GOV.UK
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008
The study is part of the borough's objective to reduce the number of personal injury accidents, particularly for vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
Peckham Rye, Nigel Road junction and Sternhall Lane junction have a number of recorded serious and fatal accidents, well above average. These sites have accordingly been prioritised by the borough in a funding bid to Transport for London's Road Safety Department. This financial year up to April 2009, we are investigating what measures may be feasible to take forward to implementation to reduce the number of accidents and improve road safety.
In order to achieve a decent first year rate of return (cost of the scheme versus the proposed accident savings), measures can only be introduced at the Nigel Road junction, the adjacent arms of Peckham Rye and Sternhall Lane junction (and not the wider area).
There will not be enough money next year to treat all the locations at once. It is anticipated that the measures will be introduced in stages when funding becomes available. The Nigel Road junction and both arms of Peckham Rye will be consulted upon first, with measures for Sternhall Lane junction consulted upon and implemented as part of future bid received from TfL. However, the report will look at all sites to achieve a holistic solution to improve road safety. The report will focus on the number of accidents, as well as severity, indicating any accident trends that need to be addressed and shortcomings in highway infrastructure. The report will list / recommend a number of highway and engineering improvements to address the current accident problems.
When we have agreed the measures to take forward with the Regeneration Department, we will undertake a public consultation on the measures.
In the meantime, I would welcome comments and suggestions from residents regarding road safety at the above locations.
Kind regards,
Chris Mascord

OPTIMISM: THE ART OF OUR TIME is an exhibition celebrating optimism with all its positive and negative implications, historical burden and importance for the future.
It explores the role of optimism in both our engagement with art and the circumstances of its
creation; its importance as a personal philosophy, and its wider value for the world we live in.
The works evaluate the present and acknowledge the past, but most importantly look to the future as the exhibition embraces the idea that interaction, communication and therefore art are possible. This Optimism is dynamic as much as it is solemn.
The show sees a group of artists utilising the catalytic potential and communicative possibilities of optimism and expressing it in painting, sculpture, printing, drawing,photography and video. The theoretical stance is matched with solid craftsmanship and the use of elemental materials: gold, glass, stone, metal, concrete and wood.
Through an unequivocally sincere take on the theme the exhibition makes a determined stand
against cynicism and apathy. Serving as a rejection of these symptoms of our time, 'Optimism'
encompasses the artists' conviction in the capacity of their work to comment on the contemporary circumstances of its creation.
A collection of essays exploring the potential and importance of optimism in our time and in relation to art will be published to coincide with the show.

John Latham Exhibition
Hi
If you have ever wondered about the house in Bellenden Road which has a huge book emerging from the front into the street, now you can find out all about it in an exhibition from 2nd October to 2nd November at 210 Bellenden Road, SE15 4BW. The house itself is now an important work of art by John Latham, the artist who lived there. See details extracted below from the press release.
____________________________________________
JOHN LATHAM FLAT TIME HOUSE OPENS, 2 OCTOBER 2008
Opening Exhibition: Distress of a Dictionary,
2 October – 2 November 2008
Flat Time House, 210 Bellenden Road London SE15 4BW
Hours: (during exhibitions): Thursday – Sunday, 11am – 5pm
John Latham (1921 – 2006), one of the most important British artists of the post-war period, lived at FTHo in Peckham, South East London for over 20 years. The House is now home to the John Latham Foundation and the John Latham Archive, and will be the primary location for a 10-month programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist’s practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance. The opening show, Distress of a Dictionary, will be a solo exhibition exploring the role of language and humour in Latham’s work.
Latham considered the house a ‘living sculpture’, with different rooms taking on the attributes of a living organism. At FTHo, a giant and colourful book-relief sculpture penetrates a large window on the front of the house, known as the Face, into a room called the Mind, in which a permanent installation of works demonstrating Latham’s Time-Base Theory has been maintained. The next room is known as the Brain. Latham described it as the space for ‘rational thought’ and this is where he worked on his theoretical writing and correspondence. The Brain will now be home to the John Latham Archive. The Hand, formerly Latham’s studio, will be the main location for the programme of changing exhibitions and events. The remainder of the house is taken up with what is termed the ‘Body Event’, where eating, sleeping and ‘plumbing’ take place. The name of the house derives from John’s theoretical language, in which ‘Flat Time’ describes the way in which time and all possible events can be represented by the length and width of a flat canvas, demonstrated in
works including Time-Base Roller (1972. Tate Collection).
In the painting and sculpture for which he is best known, Latham’s primary materials included glass, books, canvas and the spray gun. Developing alongside this concise visual language, from the mid-1950s onwards, was a cosmological theory, formulated through his art-making discoveries that considered time and event to be more primary than the established means of understanding, based on space and matter. Termed Time-Base Theory it offers an ordering and unification of all events in the universe including human actions, allowing an understanding of the special status of the artist in society, and is articulated by a permanent installation at FTHo. Latham’s work is held in collections worldwide, including Tate Collection and MoMA.
VISITOR INFORMATION
Flat Time House, 210 Bellenden Road London SE15 4BW
Hours: (during exhibitions): Thursday – Sunday, 11am – 5pm
FTHo will also be open by appointment for private study and research.
Admission: Free
Artist Placement Group (APG): An initiative by Barbara Steveni, APG was co-founded with John Latham, Jeffrey Shaw and Barry Flanagan in 1966. The group pioneered new models for the artist working within industry and government departments. Their work continues to provoke debate around the role of the artist in society, as well as socially engaged and relational art practices. The APG archive was acquired by the Tate Collection in 2005.

Over the last three years, the collaboration of Welsh-German artists Awst & Walther has resulted in installations and performances that fuse the personal myths and fundamental themes of human existence. Unfinished Realities continues this work, revealing to the public an enchanted sphere of enquiry and ritual.
Deploying a palette of fragile materials – gelatine, ice, gold, glass and feathers – and a strong will to investigate rather than to perform, Awst & Walther present a material language and philosophy that is synonymous with their particular life circumstances and togetherness.
The second part of Unfinished Realities will take place in February 2009, with an exhibition of paintings and drawings.

London Open House Weekend
Peckham Central walks
Led by The Peckham Society
See some usually hidden parts of central Peckham: a walk between and around the recently listed Peckham Rye Station, the Bussey former cricket bat factory, the Hannah Barry Gallery, the Old Mill building, and more, all demonstrating the potential for re-using historic industrial buildings.
This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the spectacular views from the roof of the Bussey building, see how that building and some of the adjacent buildings on the site are significant Peckham assets and have great potential for the emergent Copeland Cultural Quarter (CCQ). Visit the Peckham Vision exhibition and see the growing collection of images and plans illustrating ways in which the CCQ and the other areas around Rye Lane can become a more integrated collection of linked public spaces and buildings.

Hello,
My name is Philip Whiteside and I am a reporter at News of the World.
Our newspaper has been running a Save Our Streets campaign for several weeks and holding a series of debates up and down the country. All have been well attended with many people affected by the issues of violent crime taking their opportunity to express how they feel.
We are holding a debate, next Tuesday 5th August at 7pm, at City Hall in London and would love you, or anyone you know who may appreciate the chance to attend the event, to come along as part of our specially invited audience. It is the main event for the capital and promises to be a lively debate, discussing how we can work towards ridding our streets of the gun and knife crime epidemic.
There is a high profile panel, chaired by Nick Ross. Several of the families of those who have been victims of violent crime have also been invited.
Admission is free, but is strictly by ticket only, so if you want to come please e-mail me at Philip.whiteside@notw.co.uk and I will sort out some tickets for you.
If you want more information, you can look at our website
http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/2707_sos.shtml
Many thanks for your time,

Philip Whiteside

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
www.peckhamvision.org/
_________________________________________________
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.

drug treatment centre above McDonalds Rye Lane
If you have an interest in Peckham town centre, and/or treatment and support for drug users, you might like to know about a planning application for use of the floors above McDonalds next to the station. See below.
___________________________________________
Email from Bellenden Residents' Group
Dear local resident
The Southwark Drug Action Team are currently seeking premises for their Drugs Intervention Programme - a range of treatment and counselling services that seek to tackle drug-related crime.
PLANNING APPLICATION
They have applied for planning permission for a change of use of the second and third floor offices above McDonalds at 72 Rye Lane, to use for this project as a *a non-residential Institution*.
Comments and/or objections have to be in by 5th June 2008, and sent direct to <mailto:planning.applications@southwark.gov.uk>
The planning reference is 08/AP/1068, and the planning application details and how to comment or object can be seen on the Council website
ISSUES
This project represents a substantial change of use for this space above McDonalds. If it works well it will be a great benefit to the users and their families. If it does not work well it may have adverse effects on the town centre.
The Town Centre Management Group (PTCMG) which represents the traders and businesses in the town centre have sent the information to their members, and suggested that they consider a number of questions in thinking about their response to the planning application. These are copied below.
The Drug Action Team is circulating information about the programme and the project. See this below.
ACTION
If you have any queries on this planning application, please let us know by clicking Reply to this email to: BRG@nutbrook.demon.co.uk If we get any more useful information we will circulate it.
If you would like to seek views or advice from The Lane ward councillors, email <gordon.nardell@southwark.gov.uk>
If you have any experience of this kind of centre elsewhere - how it operates, and what impact it has on the locality - please let us know. If you comment on the planning application, please CC it to us so we can build up a picture of what local residents think.
If you want to influence the result you must send your comments direct to<planning.applications@southwark.gov.uk> with your name and address and the case number 08/AP/1068

SOME MATTERS TO CONSIDER FROM THE TOWN CENTRE MANAGEMENT GROUP
The Town Centre Management Group (PTCMG) which represents the traders and businesses in the town centre have sent the information to their members, and suggested they consider the following matters in thinking about their response the planning application:
1.The area is frequented by young people on a regular basis (McDonalds and the Cinema opposite) and it has to be questioned that with the close proximity of young people to a drugs treatment centre is there potential for conflicts?
2.The centre is right in the heart of the town centre, and very close to the train station; again will this cause conflict with commuters and the image of the area? (something we are struggling to improve at the moment)
3.Does the town centre need a drugs treatment centre, or would it be better located at the edges where there is less potential for conflict with shoppers, commuters and young people (especially when the centre is closed and people are arriving at it for medication)?
4.Will a drugs treatment centre create a potential rise in begging around the area? (I have no information concerning this from other areas and would appreciate any information provided)
5.What image does it give for Peckham if there is a drugs treatment centre in the middle of a busy town centre ?

To: BRG@nutbrook.demon.co.uk
From: <Tony.Lawlor@southwark.gov.uk>
Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 15:05:25
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you, as Bellenden Residents Group, to inform you about some of our plans arising from Southwark's Crime and Drugs Strategy as they relate specifically to the Peckham Rye area.
As part of that strategy we are currently seeking premises from which to operate the Drugs Intervention Programme - a range of treatment and counselling services that seek to tackle drug-related crime. We have now identified premises above McDonalds in Rye Lane as suitable for our purposes and have just submitted a planning application to this effect.
We are confident that this project will make a very real contribution to reducing drug use and drug-related crime in the area. However, we also recognise that the proposal may prove a little discomforting for some people not familiar with the concept and we are keen to address this. Whilst the basic details of the proposal will be circulated during the planning application process, I am attaching a more detailed briefing paper for your information [email Tony.Lawlor@southwark.gov.uk for a copy]
I should be most grateful if you could bring this to the attention of your Residents Group members as you see fit. Should you require any further information or clarification in relation to this proposal please do not hesitate to contact me on 020 7525 3040.
Yours sincerely

2.The centre is right in the heart of the town centre, and very close to the train station; again will this cause conflict with commuters and the image of the area? (something we are struggling to improve at the moment)
3.Does the town centre need a drugs treatment centre, or would it be better located at the edges where there is less potential for conflict with shoppers, commuters and young people (especially when the centre is closed and people are arriving at it for medication)?
4.Will a drugs treatment centre create a potential rise in begging around the area? (I have no information concerning this from other areas and would appreciate any information provided)
5.What image does it give for Peckham if there is a drugs treatment centre in the middle of a busy town centre ?

To: BRG@nutbrook.demon.co.uk
From: <Tony.Lawlor@southwark.gov.uk>
Date: Fri, 9 May 2008 15:05:25
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you, as Bellenden Residents Group, to inform you about some of our plans arising from Southwark's Crime and Drugs Strategy as they relate specifically to the Peckham Rye area.
As part of that strategy we are currently seeking premises from which to operate the Drugs Intervention Programme - a range of treatment and counselling services that seek to tackle drug-related crime. We have now identified premises above McDonalds in Rye Lane as suitable for our purposes and have just submitted a planning application to this effect.
We are confident that this project will make a very real contribution to reducing drug use and drug-related crime in the area. However, we also recognise that the proposal may prove a little discomforting for some people not familiar with the concept and we are keen to address this. Whilst the basic details of the proposal will be circulated during the planning application process, I am attaching a more detailed briefing paper for your information [email Tony.Lawlor@southwark.gov.uk for a copy]
I should be most grateful if you could bring this to the attention of your Residents Group members as you see fit. Should you require any further information or clarification in relation to this proposal please do not hesitate to contact me on 020 7525 3040.
Yours sincerely

29 Apr-6 May: new Hannah Barry Gallery 133 Rye Lane
This information below about a new gallery, beside the Bussey building in the heart of Peckham town centre, is circulated by the Peckham Residents Network.
_________________________________________
The new Hannah Barry Gallery
Warehouse 9i, next to the Bussey Building
133 Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15
Tuesday 29 April 6 - 8 pm - celebrating the opening of
DAY DREAM RECEIVER, Eleven Paintings by Christopher Green.
The exhibition will run daily 1 - 7 pm until Tuesday 6 May 2008.
directions to the gallery: http://www.hannahbarry.com/.
further information - Hannah Barry <hbarry82@gmail.com>
________________________________________
To stand still after all that chatter,
and pick out one particular thing
Christopher Green looks intensely at the colour, form and texture that can be found in the world. Working in this way he is acutely sensitive to bright colours and the shades between them, the way light falls and the shapes it makes and the way things feel when touched. He combines his everyday experiences of objects – a shelf, a window, a lamp, a canvas – and the world around him – the sea, the beach, the sky, plants and their growth - with the mysterious activity of the waking and sleeping imagination. Conscious images are used in surprising and incongruous ways – a canvas is in the sea, plants grow from a shelf. From this he is able to make pictures in which real and imagined things cannot be separated. In this way he makes paintings that have a life that is entirely their own.
The paintings in this exhibition are restrained and rigorous but absolutely complete: the shelf is full, the plants have grown, the blind is lowered. They make us aware of the importance of the artist's life in his studio - that significant room of one's own – and the powers of precise observation, intense concentration, surrender and liberation necessary for works of art to be made.

Sun 9 March EDGE Open Day - new school campaign
This information, from EDGE (East Dulwich for a Good Education), is circulated by the Peckham Residents' Network
_________________________________________
EDGE OPEN DAY • SUNDAY 9 MARCH • 4pm - 6pm
Community Centre, 46-64 Darrell Road, London SE22 9NL
FREE ENTRANCE
live performance of the Dulwich Ukulele Club tea & cakes. Children welcome.
Come to the East Dulwich Community Centre for an update on all the key issues regarding the new school:size & number of pupils, design, feasibility, history of local parents' campaign, pros and cons of academies
Full details in the attached leaflet. Background below.
• Email: leaflet@edge4schools.org to join the mailing list
___________________________________________
Some background
Lord Harris proposes to build an Academy for 950 boys on the tiny disused site of the old Waverley Lower School, nearly trebling previous numbers, with Southwark Council’s support. Edge is calling for discussions about the size and other matters.
Several years ago, the Council themselves concluded that the site could not support more than 450 children. The site of the Girls’ Academy on the other side of the park has treble the amount of space, yet will support the same number of pupils.
The building required to accommodate 950 boys will mean virtually no outdoor space for play and sport, even though this is planed to be a specialist sports school. In fact, Harris have said that sport will be indoors. Meanwhile, they are closing the swimming pool in the Girls’ Academy – saying it is too expensive – and Peckham Rye Park & Common cannot sustain potential heavy use.

severe noise increase in Peckham from Heathrow extension
This information about the effect of the Government's plans to expand Heathrow is circulated by the Peckham Residents' Network.
The information is extracted from campaign website http://www.stopheathrowexpansion.com/ It says that there will be severe effects right across a noise corridor in south east London including Peckham, Camberwell and Dulwich, and beyond, although the Government is consulting only people who live near Heathrow. The attached map shows part of the noise effect corridor stretching back into Wandsworth, and goes on beyond Wandsworth to Greenwich. If you want to make your views known, see the campaign website for the action details.
_______________________________________
From the campaign website:
""The Government launched its consultation into expansion at Heathrow on 23rd November. It will last until 27th February. The Government expects to make a decision later this year. If the plans go ahead, the number of planes could rise from 473,000 a year to over 702,000. This will require the demolition of hundreds, even thousands, of homes. It will also bring more noise disturbance and increase climate change emissions.""

Mass Rally in Central Halls Westminster at 7pm on 25th February
http://www.stopheathrowexpansion.com/news/Consultation-Rally
The description of the effect on different areas along the South East London corridor will be affected by the proposed expansion is at
http://www.stopheathrowexpansion.com/news
The main thing seems to be a very big increase in disturbance all day when the west wind is blowing:
on Peckham and also on Blackheath, Camberwell, Docklands, Dulwich, Greenwich, Lewisham:
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
on Brixton, Clapham:
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – maybe more than one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day as there will be flights heading for all three runways.
on Battersea:
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – up to one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day.

improving local rail services - franchise renewal
This information below from Southwark Rail Users' Group is circulated by the Peckham Residents' Network.
If you are a rail user it is a rare chance to give your views when it could have a real influence on improvements to stations and services.

_____________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Southern Railways currently have the franchise to 2009 to run some services through our South London stations. The new franchise details are now being developed by the Department of Transport (DTp), and they will be consulting the public on the draft specification in the Spring.
Passenger Focus have said:
"In light of our recent discussions with the Department of Transport and in advance of our provision of advice on the content of the further input about passenger perspectives on the key priorities for the new franchise. We will be starting to draft our submission in early February and would like to review as much information as possible over the next week or two. Any replies to our questions [listed above] will contribute to that.
Given that the franchise currently covers around 700 route kilometres through over 160 stations across 6 counties and the needs of all passengers across the network will need to be balanced, we are particularly interested to know what the top priorities are for the stations/services/ trains on specific routes and any evidence passengers have for the need for changes or enhancements to the current franchise provision."
If you are a rail user it is a rare chance to give your views when it could have a real influence on improvements to stations and services.

"In light of our recent discussions with the Department of Transport and in advance of our provision of advice on the content of the further input about passenger perspectives on the key priorities for the new franchise. We will be starting to draft our submission in early February and would like to review as much information as possible over the next week or two. Any replies to our questions [listed above] will contribute to that.
Given that the franchise currently covers around 700 route kilometres through over 160 stations across 6 counties and the needs of all passengers across the network will need to be balanced, we are particularly interested to know what the top priorities are for the stations/services/ trains on specific routes and any evidence passengers have for the need for changes or enhancements to the current franchise provision."
