Consume Peckham - Cinema Wed 17th Nov
Here is a sequel to last year's most popular local film. Don't miss it if you are interested in the future of businesses in Peckham, or the vibrant local social economy we have here, or local film making or other things! Come and enjoy and also support our own local independent Cinema.
This film will satisfy a variety of interests, and is followed by a celebration in our very own Bussey building, which now has a promising lively future.
The Copeland site where the Bussey is, just minutes from the Cinema, has been rescued from a plan to kill it off for a soul-less tram depot (see here for a 2007 article on the meaning of that: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Croydon_tram_depot )

Peckham future - public events
The next stage of the Council's planning for the future of Peckham is beginning. There will be some formal consultation on their proposals next February. In preparation for this, and following Peckham Vision's successful Town Centre Forum meetings, the Council has organised two preview events to give us a chance to give some early feedback. One is on a Saturday day time and one a weekday evening to maximise the chances people can get there.
For anyone keen on a revitalisation of Peckham, and the town centre in particular, these are excellent chances to make a contribution and become better informed. It is really worth going to one of these events:
PUBLIC EVENTS:
- Saturday 27 November 2010, 12.30pm to 3.30pm,
Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15
- Tuesday 30 November 2010, 6pm to 9pm,
Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, SE15
The Council says: "These will be informal sessions. People may come for part of the time if they wish. There will be displays and information on the key emerging preferred options for the Peckham and Nunhead area action plan (PNAAP). As well as an early opportunity to find out what direction the preferred options are heading in, this is a chance to give initial thoughts and reactions as an input into finalising the preferred options that will be consulted on next year."
Please come to one of these events, and also pass this information on to anyone else you know who lives or uses facilities in Peckham.
To help with the arrangements, if you think you can attend please

Do come and drop in to this celebration of the launch of the CLF Art Cafe, over 3 years of Bussey Building CLF Events and the Official Launch of one of London's leading cutting edge venues.

So come also and mark the success of Peckham Vision's work to lift our spirits and our sights to what Peckham could become.

See http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Peckham_Town_Centre_Forum
As many of you know we first started publicising events in the Bussey building in 2005 when we stumbled on the plan to demolish it and the adjacent 7 acre site for the tram depot. Fortunately TfL finally saw sense and concluded that it was the wrong thing to do for this key part of the town centre, and discovered it wasn't the right place for the tram depot anyway (see the report here http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Visions_for_Peckham#Latest_News ).
Over these last few years the Bussey building has revealed its significant potential as part of the burgeoning cultural world in Peckham. You can get a taste of some of this at the celebration this coming Friday and Saturday events in the Bussey building itself at the official launch of the CLF Art Cafe.

From Incredible Edible in Todmorden:
NATIONAL conference in Peckham.
Saturday 9th October 9am-4pm
John Donne school, Woods Road, Peckham, LONDON SE15 2SW
Come and hear an uplifting and inspiring story about a Northern town's growing success and what this could mean to us here in Peckham, in Todmorden''s own words - "the home of the world famous Peckham Experiment".
Further information and booking form from: http://www.incredible-edible-todmorden.co.uk
Incredible Edible Todmorden aims to increase the amount of local food grown and eaten in the town. Businesses, schools, farmers and the community are all involved. Vegetables and fruit are springing up everywhere. Public flower beds are being transformed into community herb gardens and vegetable patches.
Listen to thought provoking speakers like Professor Tim Lang. Hear Pam, Mary, Nick and Paul and others talk about being sustainable the Incredible Edible way, and hear the story of IET.
They have been inspired like many people around the world by the Peckham Experiment from 1920s - 1950. Let us, in modern Peckham, honour our history and also be inspired.

from the MONTPELIER NEWS LETTER
http://www.themontpelier.net - 0207 635 9483
The Montpelier pub on Choumert Rd has had a revival. It was recently taken over by four friends from South London who know a thing or two about running great pubs. They set the up The Roebuck & The Trinity in Borough 7 years & 3 years ago respectively and through blood sweat & tears have turned them into well loved busy pubs. They've now set their sights on making The Montpelier a truly fantastic local.
The Montpelier will still very much be an independent pub, being run by Neil Watson who's one of the owners. He says
" We had been looking for a pub in this area for a while as one of us lives on Amott Rd and we have many friends around here. We really love the community feel of the area and felt that every community needs a good local pub which it was lacking. When the Montpelier became available we jumped at the chance"
So what will The Montpelier offer? " We know that if we get all the basics right customers will want to come back. So great drinks, sourcing quality local ales, organic wines and decent lagers & ciders. Delicious traditional home cooked food using organic free-range meat, sustainable fresh fish from F.C.Sopers in Nunhead and plenty of vegetarian options. Also great service, with lovely staff who'll always give a smile and genuinely want you to have a great time. "
The Montpelier has had a great refurbishment with an eclectic mix of furniture and feels a lot more homely. The front garden has been done up too and is the best place to get the evening sun. They will be open earlier in the day soon serving brunch and light lunches and there is also a quiz night coming up.
So Neil and the guy's have done the hard work now it's your turn. Come down, try it out and make it your local.

BACKGROUND see also http://thephf.org
The Peckham Experiment: An experiment in the living structure of society
Between 1926 and 1950 experimental biologists George Scott-Williamson and Innes Hope Pearce developed what was to became known as the 'Peckham Experiment', a pioneering project that set out to make health 'more contagious than disease'. Built around principles of self-organisation, local empowerment, organic farming and a holistic focus on social connection as fundamental to health, the learning from the Peckham Experiment is as relevant today as it was then.
In a time of climate change, the imminent peak and decline of fossil fuels and with levels of inequality in the UK reaching record levels (with negative impacts for all of us), the need for creative, participatory thinking about whole community well-being has never been more necessary. As the Peckham Experiment showed, healthy, equitable, economically resilient and environmentally thriving communities can be cultivated if we work together to make them happen. 70 years after the purpose-built Pioneer Health Centre opened, the legacy of the Peckham Experiment echoes through community initiatives around Peckham and beyond.

BACKGROUND see also http://thephf.org
The Peckham Experiment: An experiment in the living structure of society
Between 1926 and 1950 experimental biologists George Scott-Williamson and Innes Hope Pearce developed what was to became known as the 'Peckham Experiment', a pioneering project that set out to make health 'more contagious than disease'. Built around principles of self-organisation, local empowerment, organic farming and a holistic focus on social connection as fundamental to health, the learning from the Peckham Experiment is as relevant today as it was then.
In a time of climate change, the imminent peak and decline of fossil fuels and with levels of inequality in the UK reaching record levels (with negative impacts for all of us), the need for creative, participatory thinking about whole community well-being has never been more necessary. As the Peckham Experiment showed, healthy, equitable, economically resilient and environmentally thriving communities can be cultivated if we work together to make them happen. 70 years after the purpose-built Pioneer Health Centre opened, the legacy of the Peckham Experiment echoes through community initiatives around Peckham and beyond.

Camberwell Village Hall - planning application
To the Camberwell list of PRN
for your information, In case you are not yet aware of this campaign:
NEWS FROM THE CAMBERWELL VILLAGE HALL CAMPAIGN
For a summary of the issues and the campaign, see the website http://www.camberwellvillagehall.com and click on the links at the top of the page.
Latest news from the Campaign is:
The House of Praise have made no attempt to engage with the community and have made no guarantees that the building will be available for community use outside of the church's own activities.
They have said that they hope to have at least 850 people for each Sunday service, and that about a third of the people arriving will come by car. However, there is provision for at least 1500 seats so that could equate to a lot of cars coming and going for each service (around 450). And with less than 50 car parking spaces available, that's a lot of people looking for somewhere to park.
In addition there is no evidence that it will benefit the local economy and they expect people to come from all over London.
You can still sign the petition To do so, click on the link below.

Rye Passage Fri 20 Aug 2.30pm
Improvements to Rye Passage: a celebration
Friday 20 August 2.30pm
in Rye Passage near the Peckham Rye end
If you are around, do come and join us to celebrate the completion of phase one of the Rye Passage improvements.
WHERE IS RYE PASSAGE?
As you walk along Nutbrook Street in the direction of Peckham Rye and pass Anstey Road, you come to a road sign saying Troy Town and a passage way called Rye Passage.
The Troy Town road name plate is all that is left of some Victorian terraced houses bombed during the second world war, and now occupied by the senior residential home formerly called Wilkinson House and now Cherrycroft. We think also that what is now Dewar Street was also called Troy Town originally. To confuse matters further about names, in 1952 after the war, the new block of flats built by Camberwell Housing Association for the elderly between Rye Passage and Nigel Road was named Troy Town flats.
Rye Passage runs alongside and between the boundaries of Cherrycroft and Troy Town flats, and crosses the end of Relf Road, and comes out opposite the Rye Hotel, at the northern triangle of Peckham Rye between East Dulwich Road and Nigel Road.
HISTORY
It has a very long history as a public right of way before the houses and streets were built in the 19th century. Now it provides a lovely oasis from traffic in the hurly burly of the surrounding roads, as well as a very important pedestrian route between Peckham Rye and the surrounding area to the west.
For many years the part of the Passage, which is near the join with the path coming from Dewar Street, has been a mess with corrugated iron, deteriorating fences, rubbish dumping, a blind corner which people could hide behind and anti social behaviour of various obnoxious sorts.
During the Bellenden Renewal Scheme (1997-2007), local residents suggested improvements to Rye Passage, especially to remove the blind spots caused by the line of the fences. But we were unsuccessful in getting it into the programme. However, we successfully applied for funding from the council's Cleaner Greener Safer initiative, for which we are very thankful.
IMPROVEMENTS
Phase one has now been completed by the Council. In agreement with the Camberwell Housing Association, there is a new fence and gates along the Troy Town flats boundary, and new gates at the entrance from Relf Road to stop car parking which was the source of some of the anti-social behaviour. Phase 2 will create improved visibility through the design of the fence on the other side of the passage once the Japanese Knotweed in the Cherrycroft garden has been eliminated.
Public safety has already been boosted, and the appearance of the area substantially improved. See the pictures in the attached poster, and also at http://www.bellenden.net/category/road/rye-passage The dream we always knew was possible is slowly taking real shape.

Memories campaign for the re-opening of Dulwich Leisure Centre Sept 2010
Have you ever used the Dulwich Baths in East Dulwich Road, opposite Goose Green? It was opened in 1891 so there will be people living in Peckham and nearby, or known to people living here, who have used it during the many years in the last century. If you have elderly neighbours do ask them if they have any memories of it. It is reopening, fully refurbished for this next century, in September. People with memories and stories of the pool are invited to speak to Julie Vindis asap.
See information below.
Her contact details are:
email: Julie.Vindis@southwark.gov.uk
phone: 07973 753014
____________________________________________
EMAIL FROM JULIE VINDIS, SOUTHWARK COUNCIL
In the run up to the re-opening of the Dulwich Leisure Centre in September I am putting together a 'Memories' campaign.
I am very keen to speak with anyone that has memories of using the Dulwich Baths since it opened on 25 June 1891. For example:
a) Celebrations held at the baths - weddings, christenings or historical announcements
b) War time use of the baths
c) Use of the first and second class pools and washing facilities
c) Olympic training/ Guinness Book of Record attempts, swimming galas or something else perhaps covered by the media of its time?
I would be delighted to speak with people if they believe they are the longest user of the swimming baths, or have used it for a quirky reason other than swimming!
The reason for this request is that the best archive footage, photos, stories, people I can pool together (sorry about the pun!) I will be sharing with local TV, radio and the press in the run up to the re-opening and indeed well after. So please send me an email with your story and contact details and will be back to you within 24 hours or sooner. A picture says a 1000 words, so if you have a photo, old newspaper or even footage to support your story then that would be brilliant! You can contact me at: julie.vindis@southwark.gov.uk
I have to move rather quickly with this campaign and have all my editorials ready by early September, so please don't delay if you've got a story to share then send it over as soon as possible. Ask family and friends that used to live nearby, local residents, local historians - anyone with a smashing story to tell!
Best regards
Jules

email from Burgess Park Action Group - 31 July deadline for further comments
As mentioned in the earlier email with the Council's letter, here below is the email from the Burgess Park Action Group.
Further information from: Burgess Park Action Group: contact@3acorns.co.uk
__________________________________________
EMAIL FROM BURGESS PARK ACTION GROUP
Dear Southwark Resident
Many thanks to those of you who have helped in so many ways over recent weeks. Following very wide community objections to various aspects of the LDA masterplan produced for Burgess Park 6 weeks ago, the council has modestly revised the plans, dropping some of the proposals.
The revised proposals are on the council's website and the deadline for responses to this new proposal is this Friday, 30th July. The email address is des.waters@southwark.gov.uk
BPAG has drafted a letter that you might like to base your responses on, following consultation on our Facebook Page. Please feel free to adapt or personalise as you see fit. The text is below. If you could get an email in, we would be very grateful.
Many thanks

DRAFT OF A POSSIBLE LETTER FOR COMMENTS ON COUNCIL'S REVISED PROPOSALS
To: Southwark Council's Burgess Park Project Board
Dear Des Waters
Re: Consultation on latest proposals for Burgess Park
Thank you for re-opening the consultation period for the proposals for Burgess Park and agreeing already to some modifications following concerns expressed by many local resident and amenity groups.
I would like to express my support for the following:
1/ Improving the Walworth Road entrance but would ask that you do not remove the healthy mature trees in this area.
2/ Proposed removal of derelict roads at New Church Road, Neate Street, Calmington and Longcroft etc
3/ Abandoning the £1 million plan to rip up the canal avenue and move it 3 meters to the north and to save the 180 cherry trees.
4/ The decision not to bulldoze the landscaped area to the north of the Wells Way Library.
5/ The decision not to destroy the western one of the two wooded hills at the western end of the lake.
6/ The decision to preserve the central wildflower meadow following your decision to locate the BMX track elsewhere.
7/ The decision to preserve all of the woodland clumps along St Georges Way.
8/ The decision not to proceed with the massive and expensive expansion of the lake to bisect the park to the south.
9/ The expansion the New Church Road wildlife area.
10/ Planting of new trees
11/ The use of a borehole to use aquifer water to fill the lake rather than tap-water as at present.
12/ The repair of the current lake and installation of nesting islands.
Things I Would NOT like to see in final master plan or Phase 1
1/ I do not want to see you bulldoze a new wide path along a straight line from Old Kent Road to St George's Church through lake and destroying two wooded wildlife areas. I see nothing wrong with the lovely meandering path there currently and fail to see the purpose of spending £200,000 on this pointless proposal.
2/ Oppose completely the proposal to bulldoze all of the existing Old Kent Road entrance and would prefer to instead to see some limited modest refurbishment.
3/ I do not want to see the central playground bulldozed on Wells Way and started from scratch on Albany Road. Please instead refurbish the current playground.
4/ I do not support the bulldozing of the beautiful glade opposite Bath House and the hill adjacent to it.
5/ I do not support your proposal to bulldoze entire mound from Bath House to Lime Kiln to Albany Road, including the woodland and cycle track.
6/ Please do not bulldoze the cycle track.
7/ I do not want the creation of 100,000 (down from 120,000), 60,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 5,000 events areas, now totalling 200,000 instead of 220,000 for largest events, as detailed in the events map in the master-plan.
8/ I would like to see the protection of a pathway from Southampton Way to Portland Street.
9/ I do not want to see removal of between 200- 600 existing trees.
10/ I do not want to see destruction of 3 existing woodland areas (the one adjacent to the cycle track mound, by western border of the lake and by the 3 meter path through the bird nesting lake by the northern lake boundary).
In addition to the above I would like to see the following positive things added to project:
1/ Please refurbish the major play area on Wells Way rather than bulldoze it
2/ Add at least a thousand new trees and improve and expand wildlife areas and links between wildlife areas of the park
3/ Complete the integration of the cleared MOL sites along New Church Road into the park.
4/ install proper entrance at Southampton Way which is a very well used but ignored entrance to the park.
5/ Provide funding to make the park an Eco-park i.e. energy efficiency, renewable heat, renewable electricity, on-site composting, recycling, elimination of pesticide use, rainwater-harvesting, borehole etc
6/ Use the money proposed to be wasted on bulldozing of hills and woodlands and OKR entrance on prioritising in Phase 1, the installation of satellite play for various communities around the park
I look forward to seeing your latest plans further improved and hope the council will continue to work to repair and improve the existing park, rather than as in the original LDA masterplan bulldoze so much of the park and starting again.
Yours sincerely,
A. R. Resident

9/ The expansion the New Church Road wildlife area.
10/ Planting of new trees
11/ The use of a borehole to use aquifer water to fill the lake rather than tap-water as at present.
12/ The repair of the current lake and installation of nesting islands.
Things I Would NOT like to see in final master plan or Phase 1
1/ I do not want to see you bulldoze a new wide path along a straight line from Old Kent Road to St George's Church through lake and destroying two wooded wildlife areas. I see nothing wrong with the lovely meandering path there currently and fail to see the purpose of spending £200,000 on this pointless proposal.
2/ Oppose completely the proposal to bulldoze all of the existing Old Kent Road entrance and would prefer to instead to see some limited modest refurbishment.
3/ I do not want to see the central playground bulldozed on Wells Way and started from scratch on Albany Road. Please instead refurbish the current playground.
4/ I do not support the bulldozing of the beautiful glade opposite Bath House and the hill adjacent to it.
5/ I do not support your proposal to bulldoze entire mound from Bath House to Lime Kiln to Albany Road, including the woodland and cycle track.
6/ Please do not bulldoze the cycle track.
7/ I do not want the creation of 100,000 (down from 120,000), 60,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 5,000 events areas, now totalling 200,000 instead of 220,000 for largest events, as detailed in the events map in the master-plan.
8/ I would like to see the protection of a pathway from Southampton Way to Portland Street.
9/ I do not want to see removal of between 200- 600 existing trees.
10/ I do not want to see destruction of 3 existing woodland areas (the one adjacent to the cycle track mound, by western border of the lake and by the 3 meter path through the bird nesting lake by the northern lake boundary).
In addition to the above I would like to see the following positive things added to project:
1/ Please refurbish the major play area on Wells Way rather than bulldoze it
2/ Add at least a thousand new trees and improve and expand wildlife areas and links between wildlife areas of the park
3/ Complete the integration of the cleared MOL sites along New Church Road into the park.
4/ install proper entrance at Southampton Way which is a very well used but ignored entrance to the park.
5/ Provide funding to make the park an Eco-park i.e. energy efficiency, renewable heat, renewable electricity, on-site composting, recycling, elimination of pesticide use, rainwater-harvesting, borehole etc
6/ Use the money proposed to be wasted on bulldozing of hills and woodlands and OKR entrance on prioritising in Phase 1, the installation of satellite play for various communities around the park
I look forward to seeing your latest plans further improved and hope the council will continue to work to repair and improve the existing park, rather than as in the original LDA masterplan bulldoze so much of the park and starting again.
Yours sincerely,
A. R. Resident
Burgess Park - latest news from Council - 31 July deadline for comments
I have been asked by the Council to send you the latest news from them on how they have responded to recent concerns about Burgess Park, and which I circulated earlier through this email list. They point out that they can continue to receive comments on the latest developments until 31st July.
So it seems reasonable and sensible to send this latest information. I have also been asked by the Burgess Park Action Group to circulate further information from them which I will do in a separate email.
I try hard to avoid overburdening this email list and so apologise for such a lot of information in a short space of time on one topic. But once this flow started it seemed right to complete it.

LETTER FROM COUNCILLOR HARGROVE
Dear Resident
Throughout July we've been gathering further views on the latest proposals for Burgess Park, and incorporating them with the extensive consultation we've been doing over the last 16 months (more than 25 events and over one thousand responses in various forms). Some proposals have been supported, but there are others you are unhappy with, and we have listened to you.
Public meeting on 20 July
At a public meeting on 20 July the council set out what it had heard from this consultation and the possible changes to address these, in the first part of the £4.5m project.
The meeting was well attended, with lively debate and strong views. A great many of the people there were supportive of the revisions, many saying they were happy with how the council has listened, and the changes we've incorporated. These are set out below.
I also provided, and repeated, my complete reassurance that there is no proposed amphitheatre at all in the plans for the park.
Proposals outlined at the meeting
We think there is general agreement on converting redundant roads to park, improving entrances and boundaries , improving accessibility and footpaths, planting new gardens at St. George's Way, introducing a play area for older children, and installing new signage, seating, litter bins, and new railings and so we propose these should go ahead.
However, there were mixed opinions on areas such as biodiversity and sports provision, location of play and adventure areas, when to improve the lake, and whether to do the canal, and as a result we have made some changes.
We will now not be removing the trees along Canal Walk, St George's Way and Cobourg Road, we will not be reinstating the canal, we will not be filling in the underpass and we will not be expanding the sport hub, among others.
For a full list of the elements that we propose to keep, and changes we propose to make, in the plans, click on this web page:
http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200280/burgess_park_transformation/1719/latest_developments
Extra Funding
The council will also continue to seek more funding for more improvements, which will be carried out alongside the revitalization project work. These works are food growing areas near the Surrey Canal Walk, outdoor gyms and local play areas and a national standard BMX track.
Consultation opportunities
Don't forget, you still have a chance to give us your thoughts, and we'd welcome your feedback not only on the plans, but on these recent proposed changes we've made. You have until July 31 to give us your views on the above, as well as the opportunity to give your views when the planning application of the project is submitted, later in the year.
I'm passionate about making sure we make the most of this opportunity - chances like this come around only once in a generation, and I'm determined to see that we make the most of it. With your help we can make sure this project is a success, and we can make the park something that the whole borough can be proud of. I'm grateful for the time and energy that everyone has shown in getting involved in this project, and I look forward to seeing the huge improvements these changes will bring to Burgess Park.

On Sunday 1st August between 11am - 3pm
ribbon cutting at 11am by Cllr Mark Glover .
The Bellenden Road Nature Garden is a peaceful haven promoting wildlife gardening in an urban setting and will provide an opportunity for nature study by local children
All invited to celebrate the opening of the garden and participate in activities for all the family including:
Minibeast hotel making
Planting activities
Games

______________________________________
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
London Wildlife Trust has been creating a small urban community wildlife garden in Peckham. The Bellenden Road Nature Garden has been developed on the site of a former tree nursery and has recently undergone extensive re- landscaping with the aid of a grant from Southwark Council's Cleaner, Greener, Safer fund.
The Nature Garden opens on 1st August and will promote environmentally friendly and sustainable wildlife gardening practices to the wider public and provide an opportunity for nature study by local schools.
The garden has a variety of mini- habitats including native broadleaf hedgerow with emergent trees, mature broadleaf trees, Stag Beetle loggery, and wildflower borders. Features include a grassy central social mound with sleeper benches, wheelchair accessible path, raised flower beds, standing tree trunk sculpture, minibeast village and pergola for climbing plants.
The Bellenden Road Nature Garden has been established for education and amenity purposes for local schools, community groups, and for residents and workers to use and enjoy. The site is situated opposite Highshore School, a special secondary school for children of mixed needs.
Throughout the planning and development stages of the garden the London Wildlife Trust worked in consultation with students from Highshore School to generate ideas for the main features of the garden.
The garden will be open to the general public and accessible to all. Its appeal is as a relaxing and peaceful haven in the midst of a busy and built up area, where members of the community can undertake quiet recreation and environmental studies. Local schools, residents and volunteers will be involved in further development of the garden.

Area10 Arts Space in Peckham Urgently Needs Your Support
The big historic warehouse Eagle Wharf, behind Peckham Library, used to be the home of Whittens Timber and was at the end of the canal that came all the way to the heart of Peckham, until 1972. The warehouse is now the home of Area 10 Arts Space, which has played a key role in developing creative enterprises in Peckham. The Council propose to sell the building for commercial development. A strong campaign to seek a change in the Council's plans is now under way. See below for details and here http://www.savearea10.org to sign the petition.

_____________________________________
FROM THE CAMPAIGN:
Area10 Arts Space in Peckham Urgently Needs Your Support
Area10 is calling out for support to help save and develop Peckham’s largest arts and performance space. Area10 and its associated artists have been in the warehouse space behind Peckham Library for the past eight years, and have developed it into one of the most exciting arts spaces in London. Along with studio and rehearsal space for artists, they host and organise a wide variety of international art exhibitions, workshops, performances, an audio-visual lab, and other collaborative events.
Area10 has recently been informed by the Council that they do not intend to renew the lease beyond the 15th July. Its artists have been given just two weeks to find and secure new premises, transport all artworks, and terminate all events in Peckham. The venue is much loved by local people, and has helped over 4,000 artists, local organisations and community groups. It has brought audiences in excess of 35,000 to Peckham, boosting local businesses and helping to make Peckham a vibrant and creative area.
The organisation has been fund-raising for repairs and improvements to the building, which would help transform it into a world-class arts space, and was aiming to work closely in consultation with local residents to achieve this ambition. However, the Council has indicated that financial pressures may mean it has to sell the building to private developers for demolition and redevelopment.
Termination of the lease will mean all future workshops, events and exhibitions will need to be cancelled, including partnerships with Battersea Arts Centre, the Thames Festival, Edinburgh Festival, London Design Week, Jeunes Talents du Cirque and the Wallis Gallery, . The organisation has helped bring significant investment into the local area through grants, arts funding, visitors and in-kind support, and this investment will also cease. So too will its education partnerships with The Royal College, Goldsmiths, University of the Arts, Camberwell College, London College of
Communication, Wimbledon, Central St.Martins, and the educational opportunities it gives to many young and unemployed people in the area.
Do you think Peckham should have its own inspirational arts space, instead of having the building replaced with high rise flats or another supermarket?
If so, please sign our Call for Support at http://www.savearea10.org and add your comments – whether you have enjoyed events at Area10, participated in workshops, or just want to see Peckham retain this exciting and vibrant arts space.
It would also help us if you have time to write to your local Councillors and MPs giving your support for saving Area10, and asking the Council to work with the organisation to develop it into a long term arts and performance space that Peckham can be proud of:

___________________________________________
LETTER FROM COUNCIL
You may have heard recently in the local press and on television about plans for the redevelopment of Burgess Park. The council would like to take this opportunity to tell you directly about the next steps involved in unlocking the potential of the borough's largest green space.
For too long Burgess Park has been 'unfinished' and in the past improvements have been piecemeal and without a coherent vision. In December 2008, members of the public shared their ideas on how to improve Burgess Park through consultation and a Facebook campaign and helped support our bid to the GLA for money to invest in the park. In March 2009 it was announced that Burgess Park had won £2m from the Mayor of London, and it received a further £4m in match funding from the Aylesbury New Deal for Communities.
Since then Southwark Council's parks team has been busily working to turn the £6m into visible improvements to one of London's most deserving open spaces, extensively consulting with community groups and partners. Between May and October 2009 we ran a design competition for the park, and members of the public were invited to meet the two shortlisted designers, see their plans and ask questions. Based on residents' feedback, LDA Design was awarded the contract. In March the designs were sent out for public comment. The proposals you see now have been shaped by those comments and suggestions - there have been over 20 events, meetings and workshops since last December involving over 600 local people, plus a dedicated Facebook group.
We believe the development is an amazing opportunity to realise the full potential of Burgess Park. The plans to date propose: An increase in the amount of green space in the park for residents to enjoy The creation of new children's play facilities
A new café in Chumleigh Gardens Improvements to the lake and sports facilities
A safer park - improved entrances, redundant roads removed and a new path network created A park with richer and more diverse habitats, supporting existing biodiversity and helping new wildlife flourish
We are considering the environment at every stage of the project. Any trees, shrubs and lighting that are removed will be replaced elsewhere and land moved will be used to create new features elsewhere in the park.
The latest plan is not set in stone - there is still time for you to have your say on the future of the park, before any plans are finalised. We will also be providing you with a range of options for the phase one works, as well as the costs for each option. This will allow you to see the choices available. Throughout July we will be holding events where you can drop in and talk to someone about the plans: 8 July - walkabout and workshops, 6pm, Burgess Park sports club 10 and 11 July - walkabout and workshops, 10am to 4pm, Chumleigh Gardens 20 July - public consultation event,
5pm to 7pm, Thurlow Lodge, 1 Thurlow St, London, SE17 2US 31 July - consultation feedback drop in session, 10am to 4pm, Chumleigh Gardens. You can also drop in to the Chumleigh Gardens café to see the plans for the park and leave your comments in the comment book there, or email ruth.miller@southwark.gov.uk.
You can read more about our plans to transform the park at www.southwark.gov.uk/burgesspark.
We have included a set of 'frequently asked questions' at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200280/burgess_park_transformation/1719/latest_developments/3. And the council's response to a set of comments from Burgess Park Action Group is also available at http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200280/burgess_park_transformation/1719/latest_developments/2
We are aware that the park plays an important role in residents' lives. This plan may not reflect everyone's personal view but we are committed to including as many ideas and suggestions as we can, in order to meet the majority's needs. Your views are valuable in finding the best plan.
I'd like to thank you for your input and your future involvement during the consultation, in what is an extremely exciting scheme and one that will release the full potential of one of London's most important parks.

BLOW UP: EXPLODING SOUND AND NOISE (LONDON-BRIGHTON, 1959-69) with material from
AMM, Better Books, Bob Cobbing, DIAS, Coleridge Goode, Joe Harriott, James Joyce, Jeff Keen, John Latham, Annea Lockwood, Gustav Metzger, John Stevens, Val Wilmer and more.
Exhibition dates: 24 June 25 July 2010

_________________________________________
A new exhibition of artworks, archive, movies and sound curated by Tony Herrington (Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, The Wire) and David Toop (musician, curator, long-time collaborator of John Latham).
For a period in the 1960s there was a great creative synergy in the UK between the visual arts, experimental film, free jazz, psychedelic rock, and the energetic poetry scene that formed the UK¹s so-called Underground. BLOW UP will present a visual and aural map of those connections through art works, recordings, archival film and documents, contemporary accounts, posters and album art.
The artist John Latham, who lived at Flat Time House until his death in 2006, was a central protagonist in this explosion of cross-talk and the mythologies surrounding his film Speak (1962) were a catalyst for exhibition. Speak is a powerfully strobing, paper-disc animation and, although it precedes the psychedelics of the high sixties by half a decade, its physical effect on the viewer is typical of the whole mind/body experiences of the early light-show gigs of Soft Machine or Pink
Floyd and the environmental happenings of the late 60s organised by artists ncluding Cobbing, Keen, Latham and Jeff Nuttall.
In fact, Speak illuminated some of the seminal events of the UK¹s new counter culture: it served as the Floyd¹s light show at early gigs at the UFO club and the Roundhouse; it was screened at Better Books on Charing Cross Road, the bookshop where Bob Cobbing hatched plans with Allen Ginsberg and Alex Trocchi for the International Poetry Incarnation at the Albert Hall, and founded the London Filmmakers Coop with Keen and others in 1966. But it is the film¹s soundtrack that
really connects the dots between London¹s art scene and contemporaries in free jazz and psychedelic rock: remarkably Latham rejected as Œtoo musical¹ scores recorded for him first by the Joe Harriott Quintet and then the Pink Floyd, before adding his own circular-saw soundtrack, pointing towards the simultaneously emerging noise aesthetic.
This exhibition begins to write a history of these connections, artistic, personal, or just in the air, and Speak¹s story is just one of the many told in BLOW UP.

Hannah Barry Gallery & Frank's Cafe Return!
Frank's Cafe and the Hannah Barry Gallery Bold Tendencies sculpture exhibition are back on the top four floors of the multi storey car park this summer from 30th June to 30th September. Frank's Cafe opens 2nd July. Thereafter all opening days for exhibition and cafe are: THURSDAYS – SUNDAYS 11am - 10pm. See all details below.
This was one of THE happenings in Peckham last year - a fabulous experience. If you missed it then, try not to miss it this year. See here for some reviews from last year: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Hannah_Barry_Gallery#Exhibitions
___________________________________________
BOLD TENDENCIES: SCULPTURE PROJECT 4
BOLD TENDENCIES SCULPTURE PROJECT is an annual exhibition held on the top four floors of the disused car park in Peckham, South London. The exhibition runs from June 30 – September 30, 2010.
BOLD TENDENCIES 4 will present new works by: Rachel Adams, James Balmforth, Nicholas Byrne, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Matthew Darbyshire, Edward Fornieles, Lauren Gault, Anthea Hamilton, Alex Hoda, Sam Kennedy, George Henry Longly, Mohammed Qasim Ashfaq, Florian Roithmayr, Giles Round and Alexandre Singh.
Last year the project commissioned 14 works by new artists and had over 30,000 visitors in the three months it was open. For this fourth year, the structure of the project has been changed to reflect its position in the public realm and to encourage an ongoing conversation about new sculpture in London. An external council has been created through which individual sculpture projects are recommended, reviewed and commissioned.
Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar, designed by Lettice Drake and Paloma Gormley and run by Frank Boxer and chef Michael Davies, will return for a second year. The food at Frank's is a reflection of the best available British summer produce - fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, cooked with consideration and presented simply.
Admission Free
Dates: Wednesday 30 June – Thursday 30 September 2010
Exhibition and Frank’s opening hours: Thursday – Sunday 11am - 10pm

This was one of THE happenings in Peckham last year - a fabulous experience. If you missed it then, try not to miss it this year. See here for some reviews from last year: http://www.peckhamvision.org/wiki/Hannah_Barry_Gallery#Exhibitions

BOLD TENDENCIES: SCULPTURE PROJECT 4
BOLD TENDENCIES SCULPTURE PROJECT is an annual exhibition held on the top four floors of the disused car park in Peckham, South London. The exhibition runs from June 30 – September 30, 2010.
BOLD TENDENCIES 4 will present new works by: Rachel Adams, James Balmforth, Nicholas Byrne, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Matthew Darbyshire, Edward Fornieles, Lauren Gault, Anthea Hamilton, Alex Hoda, Sam Kennedy, George Henry Longly, Mohammed Qasim Ashfaq, Florian Roithmayr, Giles Round and Alexandre Singh.
Last year the project commissioned 14 works by new artists and had over 30,000 visitors in the three months it was open. For this fourth year, the structure of the project has been changed to reflect its position in the public realm and to encourage an ongoing conversation about new sculpture in London. An external council has been created through which individual sculpture projects are recommended, reviewed and commissioned.
Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar, designed by Lettice Drake and Paloma Gormley and run by Frank Boxer and chef Michael Davies, will return for a second year. The food at Frank's is a reflection of the best available British summer produce - fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, cooked with consideration and presented simply.
Admission Free
Dates: Wednesday 30 June – Thursday 30 September 2010
Exhibition and Frank’s opening hours: Thursday – Sunday 11am - 10pm
