We plan to undertake consultation on the controlled parking zone in two stages:
- The first stage will be to assess parking problems and to find out which residents and businesses in the area are interested in having a CPZ. Following this consultation, detailed design proposals for a CPZ will be drawn up.
- In insert date, a further consultation will take place with areas interested in having a CPZ to confirm whether or not they want to participate in the zone and to comment on the detailed design and operating times of the zone.
Thank you in advance for filling in the questionnaire. If you have any queries about the proposals or questionnaire, please call the Consultation Officer, Saleem Patel on 020 7926 8989 or email at spatel2@lambeth.gov.uk.

CRIME REPORT
On Tuesday 28th November, a spate of residential Burglaries occurred in Calton Avenue and Woodwarde Road.
Due to the actions of a local resident who called Police, a suspect was arrested in the course of committing one of these Burglaries. He was subsequently interviewed and fully admitted to being responsible for all three Burglaries. He was charged, remanded in custody and is currently awaiting trial.

We would also like to mention some good work by our PCSO's, Sheridan and Nathalie. Whilst on high visibility Anti-Robbery patrol in Red Post Hill on Wednesday 22nd November, a student informed them that he had witnessed a group of youths steal an I-pod from a another schoolboy. They were given descriptions of the suspects and a short while later, Sheridan spotted three youths matching these descriptions. Realising that they were being observed, the youths ran off towards Herne Hill. Sheridan and Nathalie gave chase, whilst calling for local units to assist them. One of the suspects was found, identified and arrested hiding in a nearby garden. He has subsequently been charged with this Robbery and other similar incidents are being put to him.
With kind regards

SCAMS
BE ON YOUR GUARD AGAINST BOGUS OFFICIALS
Hi Paul
Thanks for your email. I was just looking on the Herne hill forum, and notice the section for Scams. Last Friday Night, a young man knock at my door, stating he was from British Gas, and he was wanted to know if I had a key meter, and if so he wanted my key number. I told him, if he was who he said he was, he would know what services I had, then I closed the door. I then rang British Gas and reported the incident, they said, that they had not sent anyone out to my address. Not sure what they can do with the Ky Number, but you may want to warning people in the area.
Kind Regards

CENTRAL SITE
HERNE HILL CENTRAL SITE..
As Kennedy's pie shop closes after trading in Railton Road for 80 years
to add yet another empty unit to the central shopping area, pportunites arise at the site of the former BP petrol station and soon the sorting office closing in April . there is an opportunity for the community to come up with a list of aspirations for this area.
What you would you like to see. How about multi storey building with shops offices , flats and public services..... a great place for a library
The Forum is pushing for a plan for the area.
views expressed are individual lets have more
GRANTS FOR LOCAL EVENTS
DULWICH COMMUNITY COUNCIL....
anounced award of over £300,000 for community bids to help create a Safer Greeen Cleaner community. Awards included £8,000 for improvements to Carlton Parade
( shops at top of Herne Hill) and Goose Green Roundabout .
The Council also had £35k to award for community projects.
Herne Hill Society £750 for sound equipment for meetings
Herne Hill Forum £1500 for outreach youth work and meeting costs.
Dulwich Festival £4k
Friends of Duwlcih Park £4.5k for summer Festival
Forum Committee
Notes from the recent Herne Hill Forum meeting: 14/11/06.
committee meeting.
Funding bidssuccessful so far:
£1,520 from Lambeth - possibly via Community Chest. This is to carry out outreach work for hard-to-reach sections of the community to involve them in Forum projects.
£5,000 from Lambeth - possibly via Match/Partnership. This is to prepare a business case and funding applications for the town centre champion and associated resources.
£1,000 from Lambeth Town Centre office for ongoing funding between now and March 2007.
Hot news: Last night we won an award of £1,400 from Southwark Community Chest to carry out outreach work with young people to involve them in community issues and the Forum.
Mary raised the idea of working with the young people on the Lido 70th Birthday Party project.
Mary will also meet with Whippersnappers to discuss their involvement in youth and elderly community outreach work.
Popular Youth Club have put in a proposal to engage with young people to get them involved in the Forum work. Those present thought that it would be good to proceed with this - estimated budget around £600.
Yvonne mentioned a project to do a mural in the pedestrian tunnel under Herne Hill station - thoughts?
Junction update: In theory (and if pigs fly - Ed) a tranche of money will be available for a design consultant for the project. The design now includes a cycle lane from Norwood Road to Dulwich Road. Estimated project cost is now around £1.7M. It was also suggested that Living Streets be involved to do an audit of the area and be involved in the detail design - street furniture, layout, aesthetics etc. A budget would be necessary for this as part of the design fee.
Post sorting office - looks certain to be moved to Camberwell. Jenny has volunteered to lobby on behalf of the Forum on this one. However, every group, individual should also write in etc - street associations, clubs, traders etc. Sainsbury's say that they have no interest in the site at present. Contact details: Mandy Wombwell, Royal Mail Headquarters, 5th Floor, 148 Old Street, London, EC1V 9HQ.
Efforts are being made to see if in any future plans for the Garage site that they would include some right of way for pedestrians and cyclists as part of the junction plan.
It is a possibility that with the review of Area Committees we will lose all our support and funding from Lambeth. Jackie Meldrum (deputy leader) was unable to confirm that resource and support would still be available after March 2007. I suggest we lobby our local councillors about this - we cannot survive on a hand to mouth existence by applying for discretionary grants all the time.
The issue of comms was raised - improving our blogspot, producing an electronic newsletter etc. This would include training for maintenance etc. I am looking in to sources of grants for all of this. Let us know your thoughts on this - how we do it, what we are after etc.
The Norwood Road regeneration project needs a champion/group. John volunteered to be part of it - any others?
Next public Forum meeting is now February 1st. It will be back at the Baptist Church Hall - Half Moon Lane. The Carnegie Library was felt to be a better venue for the warmer Summer months than the cold of February (climate change willing).
Needed urgently:
We need to split some of the workload of the committee. I would really appreciate it if someone could volunteer to co-ordinate the committee meetings and public meetings. This would simply be sorting out suitable dates and booking the venue. The provisional meeting dates need to be checked for obvious clashes (Lambeth and Southwark council meetings) and other august bodies such as HH Society. It can all be done by e-mail etc. The role does not include any on-site work for putting out the chairs or similar. A simple but really useful role. Any offers?
Our next evening committee meeting is on the 12th - venue to be decided
To infinity and beyond....

42 bus latest
42 bus latest....
The long-running saga of the extension to the southern end of the 42 service continues (saga long-running, bus still short-running) but there are promising signs that a solution to a suitable terminus may be close.
The original short extension to North Dulwich station (as originally promoted by many residents and very much by several Committee Members of the Herne Hill Forum) will not take place, not least because this very popular bus often has double-deckers on the route: these could not negotiate the low bridge in Village Way).
Thus an extension from Sunray Avenue, via North Dulwich station, the new Dulwich hospital, Lordship Lane (to serve the many traders there) and on to Sainsbury's as a turn-round point is the option favoured by many, and among possibilities now under review.
TfL are examining the business case, bearing in mind that the cost of at least one extra bus will be needed. This is currently a very reliable service and it will be essential that there is no slippage in reliability. When the new Sainsbury's store-extension takes place in early 2007, improved bus facilities are planned.
This column, which forecasts that this bus will eventually be a double-decker, will publish further news as soon it is available.

FRESHVIEW
Operation Freshview moves on to Herne Hill
08 November 2006
HERNE Hill will become the next ward to benefit from major improvements when staff involved in ?Operation Freshview? get to work in the area on Tuesday November 14.A 200 strong team of staff from Lambeth Council, the police, the fire brigade, Cleanaway, TfL and other partners will be in the ward in a day of concerted action designed to improve the environment and address community safety issues.
?Operation Freshview? will see teams tackling graffiti and grime, removing street clutter, cutting back hedges and talking to residents face to face about local issues and how the area could be improved.
Staff from the council, police, fire brigade and other partners will be based by the entrance to Brockwell Park on Dulwich Road all day to meet local people, discuss local issues and provide information on local services. People visiting the ?roadshow? will be able to register for a free fire safety survey of their home by London Fire Brigade, as well as receiving a free smoke alarm.
Cllr Lib Peck, Lambeth Council?s Cabinet member for environment and culture, said:
?By working together with the police and other partners we are making a real, lasting difference to some of the more deprived areas of the borough. Operation Freshview has been a tremendous success in other parts of the borough and I am sure it will be just as successful in Herne Hill.
?I would really encourage people to come and visit the Freshview roadshow on the day at the Brockwell Park entrance on Dulwich Road. It is a great opportunity for people to talk face to face with council staff and police about local issues of concern, as well as getting useful information on a whole range of local services.?
The clean up in Herne Hill ward is the third phase of Operation Freshview, and follows the successful days of action in Coldharbour in September and Prince?s in October.
Successes in previous operations included issuing a number of on the spot £75 fines to litter louts, enforcement action taken against shops for not disposing of waste correctly, graffiti blitzed and hedges cut back, and arrests by police in relation to immigration, dangerous weapons and burglary, and a number of bags of pirated and illegal goods confiscated.
If you are a resident and you want to know more information, please contact the Streetcare Service Centre on 020 7926 9000 or email StreetCareCallCentre@lambeth.gov.uk

It is a great opportunity for people to talk face to face with council staff and police about local issues of concern, as well as getting useful information on a whole range of local services.?
The clean up in Herne Hill ward is the third phase of Operation Freshview, and follows the successful days of action in Coldharbour in September and Prince?s in October.
Successes in previous operations included issuing a number of on the spot £75 fines to litter louts, enforcement action taken against shops for not disposing of waste correctly, graffiti blitzed and hedges cut back, and arrests by police in relation to immigration, dangerous weapons and burglary, and a number of bags of pirated and illegal goods confiscated.

THE MYSTERIES OF HERNE HILL
THE MYSTERIES of the road called HERNE HILL
1. RESURFACING
The pavements and carriageway have now been replaced / resurfaced more or less on schedule, and first reactions of shopkeepers and residents are very favourable.
Mystery a) Who owns the fallen tardis-likemobile toilet close to Hollingbourne Road? (Of course I don't mean Dr Who owns etc..)
2. The X68
This column has always championed a northbound stop at Herne Hill for this express route non-stop to Waterloo, as it is a fact that the buses are not full at this point. There is also no direct train service. As there is no such stop the question was continually asked: why does it need to come through Herne Hill Junction at all? Mystery b) Have you noticed the route has pretty well gone missing from the road called Herne Hill? Three were seen in Brixton yesterday plus a couple in Tulse Hill. You hear these things here first.

FRESHBUS
TFL LAUNCHES WORLDS FIRST HYBRID FUELED BUS
The Mayor of London poses with the new bus at City Hall
The Mayor of London Ken Livingstone this week unveiled the first hybrid double-decker bus in the world at City Hall.
Hybrid buses, which use a combination of diesel and electric power, are part of the Mayor's long-term goal of a low carbon hydrogen-based transport system.
a cleaner, greener public transport network for Southwark
"Hybrid vehicles can make a real contribution to a cleaner, greener public transport network for Southwark and for the rest of the capital," says Ken Livingstone.
"Bus manufacturers and operators now need to rise to this challenge to make this economically and financially feasible."
London's transport commissioner Peter Hendy added: "Transport for London currently has six single-deck hybrid buses operating on route 360 in London, from Elephant & Castle to Kensington and is actively pursuing the development and increased deployment of hybrid buses on London's bus network."
The Hybrid double-decker bus has been built by Wrights of Ballymena. It will go into service on route 141 from London Bridge to Wood Green at the end of November.
Three zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses operate on route RV1 along the SE1 riverside.

lido news
LIDO USERS LATEST NEWLETTER
This year...great! Busy, buzzy, relaxed?
Enter the Lido from Dulwich Road steps - Whippersnappers reception is housed in the recently excavated spectators? ticket office, also the way in for Yoga, Pilates, Meditation - the usual varied, seven-days-a-week all-year-round programme ( timetable on BLU web site). Try the park side to view the building site. Awesome! But it?s almost on schedule, just a small glitch when Thames Water arrived on time but encountered a problem when switching to the new main. Lido works continue and Thames have committed to complete the works shortly.
BLU /BLSG AGM
Feedback:
an excellent, lively, well attended meeting.
Thanks to 3 Fusion staff, Peter Kay (Chief Executive), Carl Bentley (operations manager) and new Lido Manager Jeremy Lake as well as Lambeth Officer, Paul Harvey who were there to update Lido plans, hear comments and suggestions from users and answer questions.
Positives from AGM floor included: good value season tickets; all staff fantastic; 6.45 opening and late closing appreciated; great food from the Beach Hut at reasonable prices.
Negatives included: short season; poor condition of Dulwich Road steps and floor of pool; low water level; prices; long queues; lack of signs explaining building plans to public.
Wishlist included: bring back barbeques; longer hours and season; all-year-round café; cleaner changing rooms; more bike provision; fast track entry for season ticket holders; involve more young people; be sure to invest in pool machinery.
Comments collated by Yvonne Levy were discussed with Lambeth and Fusion in October?s Lido Steering meeting.
Action so far on issues raised
Paul Harvey promises that Lambeth will repair Lido steps. Prices and hours will be on agenda for December Lido Steering meeting. Pool had 3 new pumps in 2005 and only needs minor work on valves. This and repairs to pool surfaces to be done before re-opening. Fusion is making a storyboard for park users. We will monitor progress.
Lido 70th Birthday in 2007 Following ideas exchanged at the AGM a working group has met several times and will shortly be contacting other volunteers. Projects include: a book of the Lido (past, present and future) based on interviews with users and others; Exhibition (images of the Lido 1937 to 2007) for the Lambeth Country Show; poetry events; swimming gala; celebration party; performance (7 decades at the Lido through dance, drama, music and fashion by Whippersnappers working with secondary schools). If you have memories or photos of the Lido you want to share to help with the book please contact BLU.
BLU has received £1000 Community Chest grant from Lambeth to cover initial research. Further funding is being sought.
October swimming - would you?
Jeremy, Fusion?s Lido Manager, is doing a survey to assess support for a longer season (enclosed). Please return form to BLU. Remember the Lido must be self-financing so only say yes if you really would make good use of the extra time.
BLU bricks (mostly red) from the Lido will be sold in aid of the 70th celebrations at Friends of Brockwell Park Christmas Bazaar, Sunday, December 3rd, 11 to 3pm at Brockwell Hall or contact BLU to reserve your brick and arrange pick up time. If you missed out on the Berlin Wall, now?s your chance! (bring a strong bag). £5 per brick
For your cultural calendar:
The Lido will feature in Julian Fox?s show at Battersea Arts Centre 14th Nov - 10th Dec. Concessions for BLU members. See here for the flyer.

- Notification of the voting members of the Friends of Brockwell ParkThe meeting was notified that the following were the voting representatives of FoBP: Laura Morland, Dean Littler, Noshir Patel, Jenny Ford Saville, Robert Holden and Michael Boyle.
- Chair’s Annual ReportThe Chair spoke to his written report, which had been circulated. He told the meeting that the HLF had agreed £4.5m for the refurbishment of the Park, which was a great achievement for everyone involved. Around £196,000 would be available for Stage 2 consultations. The MAC should be proud of all that it had done. The positive HLF response was a testament to the MAC’s commitment. As Chair he had been greatly helped by many members of the MAC and others, and wished to thank, in particular Cllr Clare Whelan, his Vice-Chair, Nic Pond and Laura Morland (EC co-optee) and Ann Kingsbury (MAC Secretary).
- Vice-Chair’s reportThe Vice-Chair, Nic Pond reported that after two years as the Vice-Chair of the MAC, he was stepping down because of work commitments and having moved out of the area. He had enjoyed his time as Vice-Chair and thought that the HLF project was extremely valuable. He was now moving on to become ecological regeneration manager for Greenscene in Lewisham. He wished to thank everyone he had worked with in the MAC and commended the drive and commitment of the Chair, Derek Hoare as one of the important factors in the success of the Bid. He also thanked Lambeth councillors and officers and members of the MAC EC.
- Treasurer’s report A written report and audited accounts were presented. There was a brief explanation by Paul Reynolds that these funds were separate from the HLF Bid and comprised money from a start-up grant from Lambeth and funds raised by the Five Parks Walk and the Big Feast. These were to be used for promoting community events in the Park.The accounts were accepted.
- Election of officersCouncillor Jim Dickson took the chair for the elections.Election of Chair: Derek Hoare (nominated by Nic Pond, Max Warner and Douglas Whitton, seconded by Noshir Patel) was re-elected unopposed.

Secretary: Ann Kingsbury (nominated by John Brunton, seconded by Andy Walker) was re-elected as secretary, unopposedTreasurer: There were no nominations for treasurer. Paul Reynolds did not wish to serve. Laurence Benson (Brixton Waterlane Society) volunteered to serve as treasurer and this was agreed by the meeting.
- Brockwell Community EventsAndy Walker spoke to the paper summarising the role of the Brockwell Community Events subcommittee. He explained that the purpose of the subcommittee was to mitigate the difficulties faced by small community groups wanting to run events in the Park. Through the subcommittee community groups would be able to apply for funds to support their activities and would be covered for public liability (required by Lambeth for any event in the Park) by the MAC’s insurance policy.The AGM approved the setting up of the subcommittee. Andy Walker was thanked by the Chair for all he had done for the Five Parks Walk and in setting up the proposals for BCE.
- ResolutionsMary Hill proposed the following resolution:”The meeting commends the excellent work done to date by the BPMAC HLF committee in bringing the Lottery Bid to such an advanced stage. However, the next stage takes us closer to implementation and demands that a number of important decisions be made that will influence the park for many years to come. We recommend that a temporary working group be established by this meeting to review the structures and processes for consulting and making decisions about the HLF Bid. The brief of the committee should be to recommend a process to- allow for greater sharing of the enlarged scope of the work- improve communications between the stakeholders, the committee and the Project Board- to ensure that the differing opinions on controversial issues are presented clearly to the decision-makers and that the decision-making process is transparent.The committee would circulate recommendations to all stakeholders and ask for comments and a vote should be taken at an EGM at the earliest opportunity”The Chair proposed that the meeting should note the resolution and take action on it; this was carried. It was agreed that Todd Strehlow, the Vice-Chair, would be asked to convene the sub-committee. Interested parties were asked to put their names down to be included.Following the resolution, there was a brief discussion of some constitutional issues. It was agreed to return to these at another meeting.
The Chair thanked everyone for their attendance and closed the meeting.
