  • Tfl RIVER CROSSINGS CONSULTATION EXERCISE and the REDBRIDGE RESPONSE: BRIEFING PAPER
    TfL RIVER CROSSINGS CONSULTATION EXERCISE AND THE REDBRIDGE RESPONSE: BRIEFING PAPER 1. Overview Building upon previous consultations, Transport for London is presently undertaking a public consultation exercise seeking views upon a revised set of options for new crossings of the River Thames east of Silvertown. (A proposed new tunnel under the Thames linking Silvertown with the North Greenwich peninsular has already attracted support and will be the subject of separate consultation later this year). The four options upon which views are now sought comprise: A new modern ferry at Woolwich A ferry service at Gallions Reach A bridge at Gallions Reach A bridge at Belvedere. The location of these options is shown in Appendix A in a separate document accompanying this one. For each separate proposal, views are invited whether respondents Strongly Support/Support/Neither/ Oppose/ Strongly Oppose. The public consultation deadline is 12th September, but Boroughs have been given until 30th September to respond. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to this consultation, summarise broadly the features of the emerging options and to seek a steer on the stance to be followed in LB Redbridge’s formal reply. 2. Background It is important to be aware of previous formal LB Redbridge positions conveyed to TfL in respect of new river crossings proposals. Those stances are summarised in Appendix B to this paper. The salient context surrounding the options now being considered is summarised below: TfL consultation in recent years has yielded support from a majority of respondents to provision of new Thames crossings, with businesses in east and south-east London very supportive.

  • 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.

You can protect cemeteries by keeping people out, but also by welcoming them in. There is no consistent set of rules to govern appropriate behaviour in cemeteries, and notions of what is ‘respectful’ vary enormously. Having too many rules risks alienating visitors and creates problems for those who have to police them. Having no rules invites mayhem. 11.30-11.45 Diversifying Audiences in Abney Park Cemetery | Tom Simpson | Abney Park manager For those of the Magnificent Seven that no-longer operate as working cemeteries, increasing the diversity of park users and uses is crucial in preserving and protecting these unique sites. However, encouraging people to engage with spaces that are ‘full of dead people’ can be challenging.

  • Area Plan Proposal for London Has Been Developed and in This Booklet You Will Find Information on the Changes Proposed for London
    Post Office Ltd Network Change Programme Area Plan Proposal London 2 Contents 1. Introduction 2. Proposed Local Area Plan 3. The Role of Postwatch 4. List of Post Office® branches proposed for closure 5. List of Post Office® branches proposed to remain in the Network • Frequently Asked Questions Leaflet • Map of the Local Area Plan • Branch Access Reports - information on proposed closing branches and details of alternative branches in the Area 3 4 1. Introduction The Government has recognised that fewer people are using Post Office® branches, partly because traditional services, including benefit payments and other services are now available in other ways, such as online or directly through banks. It has concluded that the overall size and shape of the network of Post Office® branches (“the Network”) needs to change. In May 2007, following a national public consultation, the Government announced a range of proposed measures to modernise and reshape the Network and put it on a more stable footing for the future. A copy of the Government’s response to the national public consultation (“the Response Document”) can be obtained at www.dti.gov.uk/consultations/page36024.html. Post Office Ltd has now put in place a Network Change Programme (“the Programme”) to implement the measures proposed by the Government. The Programme will involve the compulsory compensated closure of up to 2,500 Post Office® branches (out of a current Network of 14,300 branches), with the introduction of about 500 service points known as “Outreaches” to mitigate the impact of the proposed closures. Compensation will be paid to those subpostmasters whose branches are compulsorily closed under the Programme.

Councillor Stewart Hunter, Chair of Lambeth's Public Works Corrmittee said his officers were doing a splendid job, and 'Went on to take a completely political stance, accusing his first questioner of wishing to turn. the Cemetery back into a private company (something he had never mentioned). Yet in view of Lambeth I S apparent eagerness to demolish so much in the Cemetery, simply in order to provide more burial space, and thus increase the revenues received by the Cemetery, one begins to wonder if things are so very different from when the old Cemetery Companies used to maximise their burial revenues. One would have expected such behaviour from capitalist Victorian businesses 100 years ago, but one hardly expects it nowadays from a left-wing Labour Council! Lambeth declared the Cemetery a Conservation Area in 1978, This makes it also a matter for the Planning Coomittee, since tedmically, any changes made to such an area should be notified to, and approved by, the Planning Committee. In her reply, Councillor Arma Tapsell, Chair of Lambeth's Planning COIlII1i.ttee, pointed out that many Lambeth Councillors may not be aware of the decisions taken many years ago to carry out "lawn conversion" in the Cemetery. And "in view of the criticisms raised by the Friends of the Cemetery," she is asking for a detailed report on all three cemeteries to be prepared by her officers, after consulting all parties.
