London Assembly 25 May 2005 London Assembly 25 May 2005 Fifty-First Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Author: The Mayor This is my fifty-first report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 3 March – 11 May 2005. General Election I thought it would be helpful to share with Assembly Members a brief report based on work from DMAG giving information concerning turnout, majorities, party votes and second places. The Assembly may find this of interest (Appendix B). Also attached is a table listing the change in vote across London broken down by constituency for the three main parties (Appendix A). A preliminary analysis of the General Election results in London shows the change in the percentage of votes for the parties in London from the last General Election was as follows: Party Change in % of vote in London % of Vote in London Labour -8.4 38.9 Liberal Democrat +4.4 21.9 Conservative +1.4 31.9 Respect +1.4 1.4 Green +1.0 2.7 UKIP +0.5 1.5 BNP +0.2 0.7 NF +0.1 0.1 Veritas +0.1 0.1 Others -0.6 0.8 These results are distorted by the fact that Respect and the BNP stood in very few seats, and the Greens did not stand in all seats – in those that they contested the BNP averaged 4.8%, Respect 14.8% and the Greens 4.0%. Outside of the east London stronghold, in the three other London seats where candidates stood, Respect gained 1.7%, 6.4% and 4.5%. Nationally the Conservative vote rose by 0.6% and in London by 1.4%. Labour lost as many votes to Respect in London as to the Conservatives, three times as many as to the Liberal Democrats as to the Conservatives and almost as many to the Greens as the Conservatives. The BNP was not a significant factor in London outside Barking and Dagenham. The Liberal Democrats won twice as many votes as Respect and the Greens combined, three times as many as Respect by itself, and four times as many as the Greens by themselves. 1 Transport Congestion Charge On 1 April I confirmed that there would be a number of major changes to the congestion charging scheme following public consultation, which will come into effect on 4 July 2005. Congestion charging has been in place for just over two years. It has achieved its key objective of reducing congestion and has also provided an additional stream of revenue to help the funding of other transport measures within my Transport Strategy. The major changes to the current scheme will be to: • Increase the congestion charge from £5 to £8; • Increase the congestion charge for vehicles on the fleet scheme from £5.50 to £7; • Introduce three charge-free days for a monthly payment and 40 charge-free days for an annual payment of the congestion charge. The charge increase will maintain the benefits currently witnessed in the zone and build upon its success, cutting congestion even further, and raising more revenue to be invested in London's transport system. 90% of people entering the zone do so by public transport. This will build on what has already been achieved in terms of extended bus provision, and in due course by providing additional underground capacity. At the same time a number of measures will reduce the hassle of paying the charge. In response to requests from business and fleet operators to make the charge easier to pay and to reduce the impact of the charge on business, the daily charge for vehicles on the fleet scheme will be set at £7. In addition, large discounts on monthly and annual payments will make the charge easier to pay for regular users and should lead to fewer penalty charge notices being incurred by drivers who forget to pay the charge. On 6 May public consultation began on the detailed proposals to extend the congestion charge westward. In Spring 2004 public consultation took place on a revision to my Transport Strategy to allow a Western Extension of the Central London Congestion Charging Scheme. That consultation concentrated on the principle of a Western Extension. TfL has now made a detailed proposal for the scheme reflecting many of the comments previously received. Changes made to the proposals from the original consultation include a modified boundary for the charging zone, the residents discount sector extended to include some particular areas that would otherwise experience parking and severance problems and a proposal that the charging hours will also end at 6pm instead of 6.30pm. This 10 week public consultation will end on 15 July. 2 Penalty Fares I have agreed that Penalty Fares on London Buses, London Underground and the Docklands Light Railway will increase from £10 to £20, and on Tramlink from £15 to £20 when paid within 21 days, or from £25 to £30 if paid after this period. These changes will come into effect from 12 June 2005. The changes are intended to provide a more robust deterrent to fare avoidance and will also take account the increasing number of services operated by open boarding articulated buses. This will also restore the real value of the Underground Penalty fare that has been eroded by inflation. The amended charge will also preserve a co-ordinated approach to the control of fare evasion with a consistent message that travelling without a ticket on any TfL service involves the risk of a £20 Penalty Fare. This will be in line with National Rail once the changes approved by Government Ministers have been implemented. Road Safety Poll The results of a MORI survey I commissioned were released on 21 March showing that 60% of people supported the introduction of a 20mph speed limit on residential streets with just 27% opposed. 85% of people supported the introduction of a 20mph limit outside schools with just 10% opposed. The current maximum speed limit on many London streets is 30mph. In terms of measures to reduce traffic speeds, speed cameras and speed bumps had roughly equal support with less support for chicanes. This survey shows that most Londoners want to see 20mph speed limits on the capital’s residential streets making them safer for pedestrians, particularly children and young people walking to and from school. The support for 20 mph limits in the vicinity of schools is overwhelming. The link between speed and deaths on our roads is clear: London boroughs that have adopted 20mph zones have seen a reduction in deaths and seriously injured casualties by 57%, with serious injuries to children falling by 61% in these areas. Tour of Britain Cycle Race The 2005 Tour of Britain professional cycle race was officially launched at London's City Hall on 12 April. The world-class sporting event, featuring many of the stars of the Tour de France and the 2004 Athens Olympics, will climax in central London on Sunday 4 September having first completed five stages around the country. Large crowds are expected to watch the final stage of the race as the cyclists compete against a backdrop of iconic central London landmarks. The course will be 45 laps around a one-mile circuit starting and finishing in Whitehall, following a route through Trafalgar Square, Northumberland Avenue, Victoria Embankment and Parliament Square. In the year that London bids to host the 2012 Olympic Games, we are delighted to once again welcome the final stage of the Tour of Britain. This important national event will further showcase London's ability to promote a world-class sporting fixture to a global audience. The Tour of Britain will be a fantastic spectacle and a fun day out. It will help to highlight the health benefits and enjoyment that cycling can offer Londoners and will illustrate the first rate facilities and experiences that London has for all tourists and visitors. 3 The race comes as Londoners are showing an increasing enthusiasm for cycling in the capital for recreation and transport. London-wide cycling increased 23% to May last year compared with 2003/4 and it has increased 62% on Transport for London's road network since 2001. This is the fastest growth in cycling of anywhere in the UK. To help achieve this, TfL's cycling budget is rising from £12 million in 2004 to £19.2 million in 2005/06. With an estimated 100,000 people expected to watch the last stage of the tour, it is also a major boost for tourism in the capital. The thousands of spectators can also enjoy a host of cultural events also taking place. The activities will give an added economic boost to the capital. According to Visit London, in 2004 65% of spectators came from outside London and went on to visit other attractions spending around £30 per head. Free Afternoon Newspaper On 7 April I welcomed the agreement reached by the Office of Fair Trading (OfT) and Associated Newspapers to lift the exclusive rights of the Metro newspaper contract in the afternoon and evening. This is great news for Londoners. I have always been confident that the OfT would share our view that the exclusive distribution of the Metro is uncompetitive and I am pleased that the investigation has reached a conclusion. Of course, the exclusivity for morning distribution has not been lifted and we will reserve our right to press for this to be removed. For the past six years Associated Newspapers have distributed the Metro in the morning. It is a matter of public record that other newspaper businesses would be willing to distribute a free afternoon paper and might even pay more than we are getting for the Metro deal.

  • Bexley Bird Report 2016
    Bexley Bird Report 2016 Kingfisher –Crossness – Donna Zimmer Compiled by Ralph Todd June 2017 Bexley Bird Report 2016 Introduction This is, I believe, is the very first annual Bexley Bird Report, it replaces a half yearly report previously produced for the RSPB Bexley Group Newsletter/web-site and Bexley Wildlife web- site. I shall be interested in any feedback to try and measure how useful, informative or welcome it is. I suspect readers will be surprised to read that 153 different species turned up across the Borough during the 12 months of 2016. What is equally impressive is that the species reports are based on just over 13,000 individual records provided by nearly 80 different individuals. Whilst every endeavour has been made to authenticate the records they have not been subject to the rigorous analysis they would by the London Bird Club (LBC) as would normally be the case prior to publication in the annual London Bird Report (LBR). This report has also been produced in advance of the final data being available from LBC as this is not available until mid-summer the following year – it is inevitable therefore that some records might be missing. I am, however, confident no extra species would be added. The purpose of the report is four-fold:- To highlight the extraordinary range of species that reside, breed, pass through/over or make temporary stops in the Borough To hopefully stimulate a greater interest not only in the birds but also the places in which they are found. Bexley Borough has a wide range of open spaces covering a great variety of habitat types.

  • Key Species in Bexley
    www.bexley.gov.uk Key species in Bexley Bexley is home to a huge number of different plants and animals. Some of these are rare or declining, and Bexley's populations of them are of regional or national importance. A species does not have to be rare or threatened to be interesting and important. They may have strong cultural significance, or simply look or sound beautiful. Bats Bats are fascinating and unique animals, the only true flying mammals. At least nine of the 16 species of bat in the UK have been recorded in Bexley. All of Britain's bats have suffered serious declines during the past century, mainly due to loss of roosting sites and declines in insect numbers and diversity. All bats are protected under UK and European Union law. Places which provide good foraging habitat are very important to bats, as are roosting and breeding sites. Black poplar The native black poplar (or water poplar) is a scarce and declining tree in Britain. Almost all of Britain's surviving black poplars have been planted and derive from just a handful of individual trees which have been cloned. There is a fine mature black poplar in the churchyard at the south end of Foots Cray Meadows. Several more black poplars have been planted in the meadows, and some of these are now quite large. Two more mature black poplars, near the restaurant in Danson Park, were planted in the 1960s. Bluebell Bluebells are still common and widespread in suitable habitats, but there is some concern that climate change might cause them problems, especially in the south-east, where the climate is expected to become much drier.

  • Provisional Checklist and Account of the Mammals of the London Borough of Bexley
    PROVISIONAL CHECKLIST AND ACCOUNT OF THE MAMMALS OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Compiled by Chris Rose BSc (Hons), MSc. 4th edition. December 2016. Photo: Donna Zimmer INTRODUCTION WHY PROVISIONAL? Bexley’s mammal fauna would appear to be little studied, at least in any systematic way, and its distribution is incompletely known. It would therefore be premature to suggest that this paper contains a definitive list of species and an accurate representation of their actual abundance and geographical range in the Borough. It is hoped, instead, that by publishing and then occasionally updating a ‘provisional list’ which pulls together as much currently available information as can readily be found, it will stimulate others to help start filling in the gaps, even in a casual way, by submitting records of whatever wild mammals they see in our area. For this reason the status of species not thought to currently occur, or which are no longer found in Bexley, is also given. Mammals are less easy to study than some other groups of species, often being small, nocturnal and thus inconspicuous. Detecting equipment is needed for the proper study of Bats. Training in the live-trapping of small mammals is recommended before embarking on such a course of action, and because Shrews are protected in this regard, a special licence should be obtained first in case any are caught. Suitable traps need to be purchased. Dissection of Owl pellets and the identification of field signs such as Water Vole droppings can help fill in some of the gaps. Perhaps this document will be picked up by local students who may be looking for a project to do as part of their coursework, and who will be able to overcome these obstacles.

  • Cray Hall 141 North Cray Road | Sidcup | DA14 5HE CRAY HALL
    Cray Hall 141 North Cray Road | Sidcup | DA14 5HE CRAY HALL The Grade II listed Cray Hall is believed to of been built circa 1750 and still retains many of its original charm and features, the property is set in approximately 6 acres including formal gardens, lawn, orchard and paddock and has various outbuildings, including stables for 10 horses with attached paddock and garaging for several cars (circa 10,000sqft with potential for development subject to planning consent). The indoor pool complex offers a 15m x 5m swimming pool, jacuzzi with spiral staircase down to sauna, male and female changing rooms, whilst to the rear of the pool room is a bar area, snooker room and vaulted gymnasium (circa 10,000sq ft). The location could not be better, with Gatwick Airport (35 Mins) Heathrow (60 mins), Biggin Hill (20 mins) Ebbsfleet International (16 mins) and Central London (35 mins) all by car, making this ideal for applicants looking to be in a country setting with the Five Arches across the road and Joydens Wood at the rear while being close to European and Worldwide transport links and of course the Capital. Finally there are outstanding state and private schools in the vicinity – St Olaves, Newstead, Eltham College, Bromley High, Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar, BETHS Grammar and many others. All in all the perfect location. Back in its heyday the original village of North Cray became almost a private estate for the wealthy. By the beginning of the 18th century large houses with magnificent ornate gardens lined the banks of the River Cray and the surrounding area.

  • Bexley Labour Group Submission 2
    Bexley Labour Group submission 2 (B) Overview of proposed arrangements This submission has sought to deliver electoral equality throughout the pattern, forming wards around a principle of -/+5% from the variance. Nineteen of the twenty-three wards achieve this principle; fourteen proposed wards are within 4%, nine are within 3%, five are within 2% and three are within 1% of the average electoral quotient. Four wards are above the self-imposed - /+5% quotient and where that is the case it has been justified in the description of the proposed wards. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has indicated that it is minded to recommend that the council size be forty-five and this proposal reflects that. Bexley is a residential suburban borough and many of the towns and neighbourhoods have been built around railway stations and they remain and provide a hub with shops and amenities. Where appropriate and where railway lines can be easily traversed the proposed arrangements reflect that. The submission considers the A2 which runs east-west across the centre of the borough to be an obstacle and no proposed wards cross it. The ward description sets out the defined borders of the proposed wards and deals with the three principles of i) electoral equality, ii) community identity and iii) effective and convenient local government. (C) Description of wards 1. Thamesmead East The proposed ward is defined to the north by the River Thames, to the east by Norman Road (beyond the Crossness engines and nature reserve), to the south by the North Kent railway line and to the west by the border with the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

This review has been developed into one of the chapters of a book entitled Capability Brown in Kent produced by the Kent Gardens Trust. The research was carried out by volunteers of the Kent Gardens Trust with support and editing by consultant Virginia Hinze. The extent of the area identified represents the remains of the designed landscape and does not necessarily cover all remaining elements or the historical extent of landscape changes and takes no account of current ownership.
