  • 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.

  • Neighbourhood Policing Evaluation
    Agenda Item 9 Neighbourhood Policing Evaluation London Area Baselining Study September 2009 British Transport Police 1 Contents_______________________________________ __________ Executive summary 2 Background 4 Methodology 6 Case Studies 1 Croydon 11 2 Wimbledon 19 3 Finsbury Park 27 4 Seven Sisters 35 5 Acton Mainline 41 6 Stratford 48 Officer survey findings 55 Appendix 58 Quality of Service Research Team Strategic Development Department Strategic Services Force Headquarters 25 Camden Road London, NW1 9LN Tel: 020 7830 8911 Email: [email protected] British Transport Police 2 Executive summary______________________________________ Many of the rail staff who took part in the evaluation spoke of feeling neglected by a police service that they perceived to be more engaged with its own organisational agenda than with the needs of its users. This was evidenced by the failure of BTP’s current policing arrangements to reflect the needs of staff effectively. Of great interest was the way in which many staff spoke of their hopes and expectations for the future. The introduction of NP was often described in glowing terms, considered capable of providing the visible, accessible and familiar police presence that staff thought was needed to close the gap that had developed between themselves and BTP. Indeed, the strongest message for NPTs is that staff confidence may appear low, but their expectations are high. It became clear throughout the evaluation that each site has its own narrative – its own unique collection of challenges, customs and conflicts which can only be understood by talking to those with ‘local’ knowledge. Indeed, as will become clear throughout the following report, the experiential knowledge of those who work on and regularly use the railways is at present a largely untapped resource.

  • The-Story-Behind-The-Xmas-Kings
    Know When To Run: The Story Behind The Xmas Kings Cross Problems ! 11:50, 24 January 2015 " John Bull (http://www.londonreconnections.com/author/admin/) — 244 Comments # (http://www.londonreconnections.com/2015/know-run-story-behind-xmas-kings-cross-problems/#comments) Delays and work overruns aren’t an uncommon part of the Christmas experience on London’s railways. Ultimately, maintenance and improvement needs to be carried out and from a utilitarian perspective the opportunity to do so in a period where passenger numbers are generally lower is simply too good to miss. It is rare, however, to see quite the level of disruption and overcrowding that was witnessed at Finsbury Park and on the East Coast Main Line last Christmas as a result of overrunning works between there and Kings Cross. Indeed, whilst it was not quite the disaster that the media and some politicians seemed determine to make it, it was certainly extreme enough to warrant further investigation, and a full report into what happened was swiftly commissioned by Network Rail. That report is now out (http://cdn.londonreconnections.com/2013/kingscrossdisruption.pdf), and it makes interesting reading. For it provides a window into the events that happened that weekend. Some serious works This particular Christmas period was a busy one for railway work. With Christmas falling on a Thursday, Network Rail were presented with what they saw as a rare four day period in which to carry out engineering work. Closures for the entire period would, of course, need to be avoided wherever possible, but it was still an opportunity.
