From: Philip Whiteside
Reporter, News of the World

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,
Regards,
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/
