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:
TO: Helen.Goulden@southwark.gov.uk, planning.applications@southwark.gov.uk
quoting: Ref Applications: 08/AP/2209 and 08-CO-0076.

* Planning application details:
* A very long list of supporting documents:

URGENT !
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.

rail services - Mon 17 Nov 6.30pm
Hi
Are you a local rail user? Can you see what needs to be improved and wish you could get that across to someone responsible? Would you like to know more about how your local rail system works? Do you have any questions or other comments you would like to put directly to those responsible?
Please let me know if you would like to come to the meeting of the Southwark Rail Users Group (SRUG) on Monday 17th November meeting 6.30pm-8.30pm, exhibition 6pm.
This will be an important opportunity:

We will have speakers from Network Rail, TfL (Transport for London), Passenger Focus, London Travel Watch. The four train companies bidding for the South Central Franchise will also be present to listen to users.

* London Bridge restructuring and effect on our local services,
* planned cut in South London Loop Line,
* planned cut in Peckham to East Croydon service,

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.
