  • 12 October 2011 Thirty-Fourth Mayor's Report to the Assembly
    London Assembly MQT – 12 October 2011 Thirty-fourth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly This is my thirty-fourth report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period 1 September to 28 September 2011. Executive Summary Bernard Hogan-Howe appointed as the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. On 12 September, after interviewing the final four candidates with the Home Secretary, Bernard Hogan-Howe was appointed the new Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. Londoners deserve strong and dynamic leadership at the helm of the country’s largest and most industrious police force, and I’m pleased to welcome the appointment of Bernard as the man who will deliver the firm, strategic lead our great city needs. Improving the Management of Disruptive Roadworks On 21 September, I announced a new onslaught on disruptive roadworks on London's streets by asking Londoners to "name and shame" those companies who blight London with disruptive or neglected roadworks, causing hours of unnecessary frustration to journeys every day. I urged Londoners to use a new reporting system to tell Transport for London (TfL) when roadworks are not up to scratch so they can take action with the relevant organisations and get things moving again. To help Londoners report disruptive or badly managed roadworks, TfL and I have updated the 'Reportit' system on the TfL website, to allow people to identify and report issues quicker. By visiting www.tfl.gov.uk/roadworks, or by tweeting @report_it with the hashtag #roadworks, complaints can be sent directly to the highway authority responsible, ensuring that direct and swift action can be taken.

  • 31 July 2014
    31st July 2014 - Gavin Stamp & Jon Wright Introduction. The United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials, (UKNIWM) now has over 60,000 sites on its database and the number continues to grow each year. The variety and diversity of them is staggering. Today, we are going to look at twenty or so C20th/21st London memorials chosen to show the range of artistic responses to commemoration, both after major conflict and more recently, to address retrospective concerns about the lack of monuments to various groups. When our previous chairman Gavin Stamp curated the Silent Cities exhibition at the Heinz Gallery in 1977, there were many who thought it wrong to focus in on the ‘art’ of war memorials, as if in some way that in so doing, one would be ignoring, or at least lessening their importance as sites of remembrance. We are still to fully understand the architectural significance of the huge number of sites built by Lutyens, Herbert Baker, Charles Holden and others, but as Gavin has continued to show through his foreign trips and publications, the building programme for overseas cemeteries and domestic memorials easily eclipsed any public works undertaking before or since. The C20 Society looks at memorials rather differently than the vital organisations set up to document, conserve and care for memorial sites specifically. The War Memorials Trust, whose conservation work remains vitally important to the upkeep of UK memorials is foremost among these groups. English Heritage have listed a significant amount of memorials, and like us, they do judge the monuments for architectural and artistic significance, while bearing in mind the inherent importance of the sites in a social and historic context.

  • Stones Used in the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 4 Stones used in the National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas, Staffordshire Ruth Siddall The Armed Forces Memorial; Portland Stone The National Memorial Arboretum at Alrewas has become established as a garden of National Remembrance, with almost 400 memorials and thousands of commemorative trees (with new ones added every year) which commemorate Her Majesty’s Armed Forces who have served in military campaigns since the start of the 20th Century. Civilian organisations are also represented. These include the Emergency Services and other civilian services, organisations, charities and groups who have served the nation from the UK or the Commonwealth. Other memorials commemorate individuals or groups who have achieved recognition for their service or sacrifice. The site was conceived in the mid 1990s by Royal Navy Commander David Childs CBE and Group Captain Leonard Cheshire who were partly inspired the Arlington National Cemetery in the USA, believing that the UK lacked a single place for national remembrance (Bowdler, 2021; Williams 2014, Gough, 2009). However, unlike Arlington, this is not a cemetery, it is a ‘cenotaphic memorial landscape’ and one not just dedicated to the remembrance of troops and civilians lost in wars (Williams, 2014). The only burials here date to the Bronze Age; several barrows are located on the site (NMA, 2017, Williams, 2014). Land was donated by Lafarge Tarmac Aggregates Ltd., much of the 150 acre site was formally a gravel pit working the glacial river gravels of the Rivers Trent and Tame (the Arboretum is still surrounded by gravel pits today). The area was landscaped and the first trees were planted in 1997.
