  • Open Space Strategy Evidence Base Report
    Southwark Open Space Strategy www.southwark.gov.uk Qualitative Component 8.84 Children’s play provision within the borough should be of adequate quality and provide a range of facilities associated with the size of the facility. The playable space typology should be used to assess levels of adequacy in terms of the range and quality of provision. The children’s play section earlier in this chapter provides further guidelines on the quality and design of new children’s play facilities. Accessibility Component 8.85 All residents within the borough should have access to areas of formal and informal play provision for children and teenagers within 400m from home. Accessibility standards for diff erent types of children’s play provision should follow the GLA guidance as follows: • small areas of play for younger children (maximum 100m walk); • local facilities (maximum 400m walk); and • larger equipped areas of play for older children (maximum 800m walk). Natural Greenspace Quantitative Component 8.86 Chapter 5 identifi ed that there is a total of 1.79ha of natural greenspace provision per 1,000 population. This is expected to fall to 1.51ha of park provision per 1,000 population in 2026, taking into account the projected increase in population of 54,000 people between 2011 and 2026. The residents’ survey revealed that Southwark has a relatively high level of satisfaction with the current levels of provision natural greenspace and, as such, it is considered that a standard of 1.51ha per 1,000 population is realistic. The sub-areas which fall below the 1.51ha per 1,000 population, and should be prioritised for additional natural greenspace provision, are: • Bankside, Borough and London Bridge; • Bermondsey and Old Kent Road; • Camberwell; and • Elephant and Castle 8.87 Proposals for new housing development should be accompanied by proposals to improve the provision of natural greenspace where appropriate.

  • London Assembly 25 March 2009 Ninth Mayor’S Report to the Assembly
    Item 3 London Assembly 25 March 2009 Ninth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly This is my ninth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 12 February to 11 March 2009. Executive Summary East London Line On 12 February, the Transport Secretary, Geoff Hoon, joined me at Clapham Junction Station to announce an agreement that will fund a new extension of the East London Line linking Surrey Quays on the East London Line extension to Clapham Junction in the south. This means that Phase two can now be constructed before the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Council Tax Freeze On 11 February, my first GLA budget was approved by the London Assembly. The budget will deliver an increase in frontline services and productivity, with an unprecedented freeze in the GLA’s share of the council tax. Priority Parks On 4 March, I revealed the top-ten winning parks, which thousands of Londoners have voted to each receive a £400,000 makeover. I also announced that Burgess Park in Southwark will get a £2million cash bonanza for a major revamp. First Steps On 3 March, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) and I, unveiled a multi-million pound initiative which will deliver around 3,000 new affordable homes for Londoners and will also kick start my ‘First Steps’ (low cost home ownership) initiative. Policing and Community Safety Code of Conduct Statement I welcome the report of Jonathan Goolden. He concludes that I did not fail to comply with the Code of Conduct of the MPA and GLA and that I did not disclose confidential information, improperly confer and advantage or disadvantage or bring my office or authority into disrepute.

    Brand Guidelines and Communications Toolkit Mayflower 400 | 400th Anniversary 1620 — 2020 Part one Our Vision 1 Mayflower 400 | Brand Guidelines Our Vision We are united in our passion to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower sailing in 2020 and to celebrate our shared values of freedom, democracy, humanity and the future. 400 years ago the Mayflower carried the seed of a future world and an enduring bond between our nations, affirming the vision, resilience and courage of humanity. Inspired by an unquenchable desire for freedom, this voyage promised new-found liberty to more than a hundred men, women and children, to their descendants, and eventually, to a new nation. A nation born of the principles of freedom, humanity and rights founded in the Magna Carta, the Mayflower Compact and the United States Declaration of Independence, and which influenced the world that we know today. In championing the values of freedom, faith and personal liberty, the Mayflower 400’s international programmes, campaigns and activities will knit communities together, inspire creativity, drive economic growth and advance culture and education around the world. The event will be supported by our respective nations’ leaders and Heads of State. It will be the world’s biggest family reunion. We will celebrate over a century of steadfast military alliance through two World Wars and enduring special relationship. Together, we will draw inspiration from our past to steer our future – from now, to 2020, and for generations to come. 2 Mayflower 400 | 400th
