This was greater than the 12 per cent increase across Lewisham as a whole, suggestive of the project's impact The proportion using pharmacy services and sessions run by the outreach workers increased between 2008 and 2009, although the proportion using a GP-based service decreased.

Evelyn ward in Lewisham has the highest deprivation levels and smoking rates (42 per cent) in the borough, as well as a large proportion of the population in routine and manual employment. The smoking cessation team at NHS Lewisham wished to try a new approach to tackle smoking cessation and take advantage of internal interest in social marketing.

  • Final Public Questions.Pdf
    Question Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO 1. Priority 1 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 18 JULY 2018 Question asked by: Nancy Taylor Member to reply: Councillor McGeevor Question Given that Paragraph 5.1 of Land Use Consultants’ ecology report for Beckenham Place Park says:- “5.1 The site is a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and a Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC). The designations describe the site as: ‘One of the best wildlife sites in the Borough with a variety of high quality habitats. These include the most extensive ancient woodland in Lewisham, the most diverse acid grassland, the most natural stretch of river, probably the oldest pond and the only willow carr. Some of the parkland trees are very old and pre-date the landscaping of the park. The high diversity of plants and animals include numerous locally rare species and several nationally rare invertebrates have been recorded’.” Would the council explain why they authorised an Mountain Bike (MTB) trail to pass through part of previously untouched ancient woodland during the December 2017 and January 2018 Beastway events? Reply The woodlands of Beckenham Place Park are extensive and a number of trails already pass through them. When we were approached by an event organiser seeking consent for a series of three morning race sessions the Council’s ecological officers inspected and advised on the proposed routes, which mostly used existing walking routes through the woodland or the open grasslands. The authorised routes avoided the most ecologically sensitive areas of woodland and were timed to take place in the winter outside of nesting season and when flora was dormant.

  • Cllr Evelyn Akoto, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Public Health, Southwark Council – Written Evidence (FPO0024)
    Cllr Evelyn Akoto, Cabinet Member for Community Safety and Public Health, Southwark Council – Written evidence (FPO0024) SUMMARY 01. As a London borough, Southwark has seen an increase in the number of residents who are struggling to afford basic food items, especially people who rely on benefits and those who are struggling to make ends meet with insufficient salaries. While it is hard to accept that people in 21st century Britain are going hungry, we are passionate in doing what we can to tackle it. We welcome this inquiry as it look at key aspects driving this and the important interlink between inequality, health inequalities and food sustainability. 02. National figures suggest that one in five over 16 year olds in England are food insecure to some degree, and one in 12 are moderately to severely food insecure. This translates to 53,000 of our residents being somewhat food insecure and over 20,000 being so food insecure that they may be skipping meals because they cannot afford to eat and experience real hunger. Simultaneously, food banks in the borough have seen a 31% and 45% increases respectively in referrals during 2017-18, with no sign of the demand abating in the future. 03. As will be made clear in our response, there are principally five reasons behind this, according to evidence available in the borough and academic research: declining or stagnant wages, welfare reform, destitution, no recourse to public funds, and the interaction between ‘food deserts’ and the ‘poverty premium’. Together, these factors create environments where low-income residents struggle to generate sufficient incomes with little or no access to healthy, fresh food options.
