Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

The Lambeth Local Plan 2015 sets out planning policies for Lambeth to guide growth in Projects housing, jobs, infrastructure delivery, place-shaping and the quality of the built environment over the next 15 years to 2030. Together with the London Plan, it forms the development plan Delivered for the borough.

A Masterplan is a framework. It sets out key principles of an area, and creates a vision for its future. It shows the overall development concept that includes urban design, landscaping, infrastructure, service provision, present and future land uses and built form.

    Message from the Chairman Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and a warm welcome to the Network Theatre Company's production of Romeo and Juliet . Andy Bradshaw directs, with his inimitable style, a large and experienced cast in this popular Shakespeare play, ably supported by his backstage crew. What a wealth of talent we have in the Network Theatre Company, as you will see from this production. Congratulations to everyone involved. Tonight you will be sitting in a recently refurbished auditorium. Under the guidance of Paul Lunnon, a dedicated crew has removed the old staging and seating rostra, and has replaced them with a new, adaptable layout, making our theatre more comfortable and practical. We, in the NTC, are very grateful for all the hard (and heavy) work undertaken. So, tonight: sit back and enjoy the show (our third production this year). Enjoy the performances, the music, the dancing, and new stage and seating layout. May I also remind you that the Green Room bar is open before and after the show, as well as during the interval, and thank you for your support. Kay Murray Chairman of the Network Theatre Company June 2011 A Word from the Director Staging Romeo and Juliet is a challenge. It has been done and done and done thousands of times. It was not without trepidation therefore, that I approached this production. What, I wondered, could there be done that has not already been done? The answer came, as so many do, in a moment of quiet lucidity: truth... You see, I have seen so many productions of this show I have lost count.

It includes 682 buildings and sites known to be at risk from Tneglect, decay or inappropriate development - everything from an early 18th century church designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, to a boathouse built during WWI on an island in the Thames. These are sites that need imagination and investment. In London the scale of this challenge has grown. There are 12 more assets on the Heritage at Risk Register this year compared to 2015. We also know that it’s becoming more expensive to repair many of our buildings at risk. In the face of these challenges we’re grateful for the help and support of all those who continue to champion our historic environment.

    Cabinet Date of Cabinet: 12 October 2015 Report Title: Culture 2020 Wards: All Report Authorised by: Strategic Director Delivery: Sue Foster Portfolio: Cabinet Member Neighbourhoods: Councillor Jane Edbrooke Contact for enquiries: [email protected] John Kerridge, Associate Director Commissioning (Communities), 020 7926 2744 Report summary This report presents Culture 2020. The first comprehensive cultural plan for the borough. Its priority is people are healthier for longer. The council is faced with taking decisions that it would not normally like to take, but failing to operate within a legal budget is not an option. Culture 2020 seeks to take an ambitious approach by creating the foundations for growth beyond merely reacting to the unprecedented cuts to our funding. Our Ambition By 2020 we want Lambeth to be recognised as the destination in South London for those wanting to enjoy world-class cultural activities, or grow a cultural enterprise. We also want all residents to live within 20 minutes average walking distance of a facility where they can enjoy culture, as well as having access to a range of affordable, excellent facilities to participate in culture be it sport, physical activities, parks, libraries, or the wider arts. Once the plans within Culture 2020 come to their full fruition they will create foundations which will help the borough to navigate some, but not all, of the worst impacts of the deepest cuts known to local government finance. These foundations will include: A sustainable library service built around 5 town centre libraries and 5 neighbourhood libraries, which are overall open for longer hours.
