    The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background the Royal Parks Are

    The Royal Parks (TRP) Skating Policy Background The Royal Parks are managed for the enjoyment of the public, balancing the interests of our visitors, wildlife, the historic environment and conservation. As pedestrians comprise the majority of visitors and include potentially vulnerable groups, such as small children and the elderly, they have priority in the parkland and open spaces. TRP seeks, however, to cater for wide range of other recreational activities in a way that does not interfere with the safety, comfort and convenience of other park users. Skating is a popular activity that appeals to a wide range of people. TRP seeks to provide opportunities for skating in the Royal Parks for the enjoyment of skaters and without adverse impact on other park users and the park environment. This policy concerns skating on what is described in the Park Regulations as “foot- propelled devices” – including roller blades, roller skates, freeline skates, roller- skis, skateboards/waveboards and scooters. Regulations The Royal Parks Regulations state that visitors: • may skate on the roads, unless this is restricted by a park notice, and in any other area where permitted; • must not skate in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person; • must comply with any direction for the control of skating that is given either by a constable, or by notice; . must not intentionally or recklessly interfere with the safety, comfort or convenience of any person using a park Where you may skate in the Royal Parks Skaters may use park roads that are open to other vehicles, unless prohibited to do so.

    St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School Headteacher: Mrs. K Husain Deputy Headteacher: Dr. N Fernandes Viana Jesus said: ‘I have come that they may have life and have it to the full’. Dear Parents, 2nd November 2018 Thank you to all the parents who attended the Funding Update meetings in school on Tuesday. The school has been one of the lowest funded primary schools in Westminster for several years. However, the recent funding changes because of the new National Funding Formula, the fall in primary age children in Westminster in recent years and the increased costs faced by all schools have fundamentally changed the financial position of the school. To maintain the current enriched curriculum and to provide the best education for the children that we can, we rely on your financial help and ask for. Your financial support currently takes two forms. Firstly, the fundraising of the School Association, this is still very strong: in 2017/18 they raised approximately £130,000. For this we are grateful, and long may it continue. Secondly, contributions to the Governors’ Fund. This has dropped by over 40% in recent years. Considering the recent funding changes and costs pressures we are asking all parents to consider donating monthly to the Governors’ fund or increase the amount they currently donate. Monthly contributions will provide Governors’ with a certainty to plan. We are looking to target annual contributions of £200,000 to the fund which is a £160,000 increase from the current level. I must stress that any contributions are voluntary, and all funds received are used for the benefit of all the children at the school.

  • Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas

    Character Overview Westminster Has 56 Designated Conservation Areas

    Westminster’s Conservation Areas - Character Overview Westminster has 56 designated conservation areas which cover over 76% of the City. These cover a diverse range of townscapes from all periods of the City’s development and their distinctive character reflects Westminster’s differing roles at the heart of national life and government, as a business and commercial centre, and as home to diverse residential communities. A significant number are more residential areas often dominated by Georgian and Victorian terraced housing but there are also conservation areas which are focused on enclaves of later housing development, including innovative post-war housing estates. Some of the conservation areas in south Westminster are dominated by government and institutional uses and in mixed central areas such as Soho and Marylebone, it is the historic layout and the dense urban character combined with the mix of uses which creates distinctive local character. Despite its dense urban character, however, more than a third of the City is open space and our Royal Parks are also designated conservation areas. Many of Westminster’s conservation areas have a high proportion of listed buildings and some contain townscape of more than local significance. Below provides a brief summary overview of the character of each of these areas and their designation dates. The conservation area audits and other documentation listed should be referred to for more detail on individual areas. 1. Adelphi The Adelphi takes its name from the 18th Century development of residential terraces by the Adam brothers and is located immediately to the south of the Strand. The southern boundary of the conservation area is the former shoreline of the Thames.
  • Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7

    Irina Porter, Uncovering Kilburn's History: Part 7

    Uncovering Kilburn’s History – Part 7 Thank you for joining me again for the final part of this Kilburn local history series. 1. New flats in Cambridge Road, opposite Granville Road Baths, c.1970. (Brent Archives online image 10127) In Part 6 we saw the major rebuilding that took place, particularly in South Kilburn, between the late 1940s and the 1970s. Many of the workers on the building sites were Irish. The new wave of Irish immigration to Northwest London, which reached its peak in the 1950s, was quickly transforming the area. As well as abundant work, Kilburn offered plenty of cheap accommodation, and a bustling High Road with cultural and eating establishments, many of them catering for the Irish population, who soon represented a majority in the area. ‘County Kilburn’ was dubbed Ireland’s 33rd county. 2. Kilburn's Irish culture – an Irish Festival poster and Kilburn Gaels hurling team. (From the internet) The Irish community, close-knit and mutually supportive, hit the headlines in the negative way in the 1970s, when Kilburn became a focal point for “the Troubles” in London. On 8 June 1974, an estimated 3,000 came out onto the streets of Kilburn for the funeral procession of Provisional IRA member Michael Gaughan. An Irishman, who had lived in Kilburn, Gaughan was imprisoned for an armed bank robbery in 1971 and in 1974 died as the result a hunger strike. Gaughan’s coffin, accompanied by an IRA guard of honour, was taken from the Crown at Cricklewood through Kilburn to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in Quex Road, before being flown to Dublin for another ceremony and funeral.

  • New Arrivals for St James's Park As Three Great White Pelicans Take

    New Arrivals for St James's Park As Three Great White Pelicans Take

    Strictly Embargoed until 11am Tuesday 26 March 2013 New arrivals for St James’s Park as three Great White pelicans take up residence in front of Buckingham Palace. St James’s Park welcomes three Great White pelicans as they take up residence in the Royal Park in front of Buckingham Palace. The trio, one called Tiffany, help maintain a 349-year tradition that attracts and delights millions of visitors to the park every year. The first pelican to grace the Royal Parks was a gift from the Russian Ambassador to King Charles II in 1664 and the colony has thrived ever since. The young Great White Pelicans – a gift from the City of Prague – are the result of a remarkable collaboration of the Royal Parks Foundation, The Royal Parks, Prague Zoo and The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, which will ensure the majestic birds flourish in their new home on St James’s Park Lake. Visitors to the Royal Parks Foundation website will be invited to help name one of the beautiful birds by voting for their favourite name from a list at www.SupportTheRoyalParks.org. These include Bela, Bety, Karola, Pearl, Queenie and Isla. A precision-planned operation transported the pelicans from Prague in a climate- controlled vehicle with specially mounted cameras so the birds could be observed at all times. Animal welfare officers checked them regularly during the 800-mile trip. They then enjoyed a pampered introduction to life in St James’s Park, spending around two months in a specially fitted out enclosure where an experienced and skilled team monitored their progress as they acclimatised to their new surroundings.
