"Peckham CRAG is part of a growing grassroots movement of people who are "taking climate change personally" and forming CRAGs [carbon rationing action groups], agreeing an annual limit for their own carbon dioxide emissions and taking individual action with others to achieve this and sharing tips and encouragement.
Our first meeting, at which we will discuss what our annual target will be and other practicalities, will be on Tuesday 16 October at 6.30pm in Peckham Library. All welcome.
We will be meeting every month, mostly on second Tuesdays, in Peckham Library at 6.30pm as follows: 13 November, 11 December and 8 January 2008.
If you are interested but can't make these meetings, please contact us at: peckhamcrag@googlemail.com, or see the CRAG website and contact us via the Peckham CRAG page:

We look forward to "taking climate change personally" with you.

South London Loop Line services - draft RUS for consultation
Dear local residents & train users
Another train services nugget I have discovered by accident - the Rail Utilisation Strategy for South London trains is out for consultation now for 12 weeks, deadline for comments is 26 October.
This will be discussed at Southwark Council's Transport Consultative Forum on Thursday 11 October 6.30pm at the Town Hall, Peckham Road, SE5.
You can find a copy of the document at:
http://www.networkrail.co.uk
* click Route Utilisation Strategies in left hand column
* click Route Utilisation Strategies in main text
* click the South London folder in the list of RUS strategies
* click South London RUS draft for consultation
If that defeats you, and your system can receive a 3MB to 4MB pdf ask me for an email copy. From a very quick glance, it seems that the options affecting services on the South London Loop Line are on pages 8-9, and the way to give comments is on page 201. This document looks as if it will give the information needed to make sense of the hints and comments that float around about cutting the services to Victoria and London Bridge from Peckham Rye and other stations on the Loop Line.
What we need is for some residents to examine this document and let us know what they find of relevance to the services for any or all of the stations at Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill, East Dulwich, Queens Road and Nunhead.
Can those, who have already responded (many thanks) to my earlier call for volunteers to take an active interest in our local train services, get to work on this, and put 11 October in their diaries so they can make a contribution there? We will also see if it is feasible to arrange a discussion in September for those interested, to share information and ideas about it all.
In the meantime, if you can have a look at the document, please let me know what your comments might be, even if only first thoughts and questions, so that I can circulate them to others who have expressed an interest.

dogs off leads petition
8th June 2007
This information, from a new residents' group called HOWL, is circulated to you by the Peckham Residents' Network
___________________________________________
see the online petition
Southwark dog lovers have formed a lobby group called HOWL (Hounds Off lead Welfare Lobby) to persuade Southwark Council to step back from imposing a blanket policy that will condemn all dogs in the borough, regardless of size or temperament, to live the rest of their lives attached to a lead. Virtually nobody in the borough, least of all the people who walk their dogs in the parks every day, had any idea that this was coming over the horizon. The first we knew about it was when new signs popped up all over our parks stating that all dogs had to be kept on leads everywhere, with the exception of a few little 'dog exercise' areas in a handful of parks.
Astonishingly, the Parks Department erected the signs without going through the correct legal process of changing the existing byelaw, which states that 'All Dogs Must Be Kept Under Control' (a very sensible law in our opinion). We discovered that they had been so confident that they would sneak through the change in the law without proper consultation that they went ahead and spent £36,000 on this signage PRIOR to any changes being ratified.
There have been no substantial reasons put forward to justify this universal sentence being imposed upon all dogs and their owners, save the fact that the antisocial individuals who own those rather antisocial dogs sometimes vandalise park property and don't clear up after their animals.We all condemn this, but these are issues which can and should be dealt with using existing legislation.
Why should the law-abiding majority with mild-mannered happy dogs be penalised for the sins of the antisocial few? It's like saying that all humans should be locked up because a few of the species commit GBH. There are antisocial elements in all the different park user groups, so why have the dog owners been singled out for mass punishment?
We believe that any changes in the law regarding dogs on leads should be done on a park by park basis by the local regular users, and not imposed as a blanket policy across the whole borough. We beg the help and support from all people who believe in fair play and common sense.
WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME. The Southwark Executive will be making the decision on June 19. PLEASE sign our online petition If you want to know more details about our efforts so far we have a myspace spot
