  • Response to the Consultation Document
    RESPONSE TO THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT: “A new approach to rail passenger services in London and the South East” Introduction 1. This response from concentrates on matters affecting the users of the four stations on the Greenwich line (Deptford, Greenwich, Maze Hill, and Westcombe Park). We do not comment on matters that only affect other areas of London and the South East. 2. Our response also takes account of the announcement made on 21 January 2016 that responsibility “for inner London rail services that operate wholly or mainly within Greater London” will transfer to TfL. The precise services or geographical area are not specified, but, for the purposes of our response about services on this line, we have assumed it includes all our trains except for a few peak hour services that extend beyond Dartford 3. Latest ORR figures of estimated station usage show that, in 2014/15, there were 7.1m users of these four stations, an increase of 5.5% over the previous year. This number will certainly continue to rise as a result of large housing developments in the Greenwich and Deptford area. Since 2014, 7,080 new homes have either been built, or are being built, in the vicinity of at least one of the four stations. A further 15,000 are planned for North Greenwich which will impact on Maze Hill and Westcombe Park. Greenwich is a major tourist destination for London and home to the University of Greenwich and Trinity/Laban and other educational establishments, with over 38,000 students. The proposed cruise liner terminal at Enderby’s wharf will also add pressure.

BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Send Me! July Sees Many of Our Young People in Shortlands Contemplating Their Future
    SHORTLANDS PARISH NEWS St. Mary’s church endeavours to bring the love of God into the everyday lives of the people of Shortlands twwwh.stmareysshorStlands.orgP.uk AJuly 2019N Year 39 Number 7 Send me! July sees many of our young people in Shortlands contemplating their future. They have finished school and exams which will determine future school, university, and work places. They will be thinking about their skills, what they find interesting, and what their inner self, or gut feeling, is calling them to pursue. At St. Mary's we are very fortunate to have a strong Ministry Team of people who felt called to work in different areas of life within the church and the Shortlands community. We are blessed with people who use their God-given gifts to support the church whether through floristry, administrative, gardening, cleaning, music, teaching or catering skills, to name but a few. None of us are special; we are all ordinary people who, over the years, have listened and answered the call from God. Discerning what God wants us to do with our lives isn't easy. Christians have answered Jesus' call to follow Him, just as the disciples did two thousand years ago. It has taken me nearly sixty years to discern God's direction for me. I became a committed Christian as a teen- ager, when I 'promised to serve you to the end', as the hymn goes. I have faithfully done so through the ups and downs of life by listening, finding out, questioning, praying, studying and answering when the call came.
