  • Statement of Common Ground with Bexley
    Statement of Common Ground between LB Southwark and LB Bexley November 2019 1 Introduction This Statement of Common Ground (SCG) addresses the strategic matters specific to Southwark and Bexley. This SCG has been prepared by Southwark Council in agreement with the London Borough of Bexley. The purpose of the SCG is to document the cross-boundary matters being addressed and progress in cooperating to address them. This SCG ensures that the requirements set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) have been met. The NPPF states, “Local planning authorities and county councils (in two-tier areas) are under a duty to cooperate with each other, and with other prescribed bodies, on strategic matters that cross administrative boundaries.” Southwark Council engages with other boroughs and the City of London through regular meetings either between officers or elected members with formalised governance arrangements such as the London Councils Leaders’ Committee, Association of London Borough Planning Officers, the Cross River Partnership, and the South East London Duty to Cooperate Group. We also maintain correspondence between planning departments on a variety of issues and projects and organise additional meetings on strategic planning matters when needed. Figure 1: Locations of Southwark and Bexley within Greater London. 2 Strategic Geography London Borough of Southwark Southwark is a densely populated and diverse inner London borough set over almost 30km of land to the south of the River Thames. Home to over 314,000 people, the borough is a patchwork of communities set over 23 diverse wards. Whilst the northern part of the borough already enjoys excellent transport links to the rest of London, the south is due to benefit from the extension of the Bakerloo Line, which will open up areas including the Old Kent Road to new growth.

  • Westminster Abbey
    Westminster Abbey Civic Service attended in Civic State by The Lord Mayor of Westminster Councillor Audrey Lewis and Councillors of the City of Westminster Sunday 6 th July 2014 11.00 am THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER Westminster first achieved the status of a city in 1540 when, for only ten years, it became a bishopric. Its first recorded civic administration dates from 1585, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, when an Act authorised the establishment of a Court of Burgesses ‘for the good government of the City of Westminster’. While Queen Elizabeth I was creating mayors elsewhere in England, she was concerned that a mayor in Westminster might challenge the authority of the monarch in her own capital city, and she therefore appointed instead the High Steward of Westminster Abbey as Chairman of her newly created Court of Burgesses. The first High Steward to chair the new Court of Burgesses was the Queen’s First Minister, William Cecil, Lord Burleigh. The Court of Burgesses was an administrative body which dealt with public health and morality, planning permissions, the prevention and punishment of crime, and the regulation of weights and measures. It comprised twelve Burgesses appointed by the Dean—one for each ward. However, when the London Government Act of 1899 created twenty-eight Metropolitan Borough Councils, each having an elected Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, the authority of the Dean and the High Steward in secular affairs ceased. The last High Steward who was also effectively Mayor was Lord Salisbury, who was then also Prime Minister. The Duke of Norfolk was the first Mayor of Westminster.

  • London Councils' Transport and Environment Committee
    London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee Dockless Bicycles – Item No: E2 Londonwide Byelaw x x Report by: Katharina Winbeck Job title: Strategic Lead, Transport & Environment, Policy and Public Affairs Division Date: 10 October 2019 Contact Officer: Katharina Winbeck Telephone: 020 7934 9945 Email:Katharina.winbeck@londoncoun cils.gov.uk Summary: This report updates TEC on the proposed pan-London parking byelaw for the regulation of dockless bicycle hire schemes in London. Recommendations: Members are asked to: 1. Note the update; 2. Note the current draft text of the byelaw; 3. Note that the next step in the timetable is sharing the draft wording of the byelaw with dockless operators Dockless Bicycles - Londonwide Byelaw London Councils’ TEC – 10 October 2019 Agenda Item E2, Page 1 Update 1. TEC has previously agreed that the correct future approach for dockless bike sharing is to move away from the status quo, where Boroughs reach individual agreements with specific operators, and instead move to borderless operations throughout Greater London. 2. Controlling bike fleets would be achieved by Boroughs using existing powers to designate parking places for dockless bikes, and (following the necessary delegation of powers which was discussed and agreed at the June 2019 TEC meeting) TEC promoting a pan-London byelaw on Boroughs’ behalf to prohibit bike operators from parking dockless bikes other than at those approved designated parking places. 3. Discussions between TfL, London Councils and Borough Officers have led to the attached draft byelaw. 4. There are currently five dockless bike operators working in London and a sixth may launch before next spring.

  • Population Analysis of North West London for John Lyon's Charity
    Population analysis of North West London for John Lyon’s Charity This note summarises the findings of our population analysis for the eight north west London boroughs in which John Lyon’s Charity is active. Analysis has not been possible for the City of London. It looks at how the population has changed since the start of the recession in 2008 by looking at a range of variables – the overall population, the population aged 16-25, the proportion of working age and young adults claiming an out of work benefit, and the proportion of children entitled to free school meals. It compares the boroughs in North West London to other parts of London, then looks more closely at the different wards in the eight boroughs covered by John Lyon’s work. Summary The total populations of the eight boroughs (excluding the City of London) where John Lyon’s Charity is active changed substantially between 2008 and 2013, but in different ways. The number of children living in Barnet, Ealing and Brent rose by 10%. The working age population of Barnet and Brent also rose by 8% in those five years. Rises in Inner London split into two groups. Kensington was unique in London in seeing no increase in its child population between 2008 and 2013, with Hammersmith seeing the second smallest increase. But the under 18 populations of Camden and Westminster rose quickly. The working age populations of Kensington and Hammersmith actually fell over those five years. The proportion of children eligible for free school meals fell in all eight boroughs, for both primary and secondary school pupils.
