  • Walks Programme: July to September 2021
    LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

  • Bromley May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Bromley May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • An Audit of the Surface Water Outfalls in the River Ravensbourne - ‘Outfall Safari’
    An audit of the surface water outfalls in the River Ravensbourne - ‘Outfall Safari’ December 2017 UK & Europe Conservation Programme Zoological Society of London Regent's Park London, NW1 4RY [email protected] www.zsl.org/conservation/regions/uk-europe/london’s-rivers Acknowledgements This project, funded by The Rivers Wetlands and Community Days Fund and City Bridge Trust, has been delivered in partnership with Thames21 with the support of the Environment Agency and Thames Water. It would not have been possible without the help of all the dedicated volunteers who collected the data. Introduction Misconnected wastewater pipework, cross-connected sewers and combined sewer overflows are a chronic source of pollution in urban rivers. An estimated 3% of properties in Greater London are misconnected (Dunk et al., 2008) sending pollution, via outfalls, into the nearest watercourse. There is currently no systematic surveying of outfalls in rivers to identify sources of pollution and to notify the relevant authorities. The ‘Outfall Safari’ is a survey method devised to address this evidence gathering and reporting gap. It was created by the Citizen Crane project steering group which consists of staff of Thames Water, Environment Agency (EA), Crane Valley Partnership, Friends of River Crane Environment, Frog Environmental and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL). It was first used on the River Crane in May 2016. Aims The aims of the River Ravensbourne Outfall Safari were to: Record and map the dry weather condition behaviour of surface water outfalls in the Ravensbourne catchment rivers; Assess and rank the impact of the outfalls and report those that are polluting to the Environment Agency and Thames Water; Build evidence on the scale of the problem of polluted surface water outfalls in Greater London; and Recruit more volunteers and further engage existing volunteers in the work of the Ravensbourne Catchment Partnership.

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936. The nearby Country United Kingdom residential area was renamed Crystal Palace after the famous landmark Coordinates 51.4226°N 0.0756°W including the park that surrounds the site, home of the Crystal Palace Destroyed 30 November 1936 National Sports Centre, which had previously been a football stadium Cost £2 million that hosted the FA Cup Final between 1895 and 1914.

The succes­ siveT steps in the administration of an urban area from the earliest times are the Manorial Courts, the Vestries, Local Boards, Urban District Councils, and lastly, as in the case o f Bromley, incorporation as a chartered Borough under a Mayor and Town Council. In this chapter I propose to trace these successive steps in relation to the history of the town. The Manorial system, which operated throughout the Middle Ages, and which only began to be superseded in the sixteenth century, afforded but a meagre opportunity to the people of the manor to make their voice heard in the management o f their affairs.
