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. -
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. -

Section 7 – Provision for Children
SECTION 7 – PROVISION FOR CHILDREN Provision for children Definition 7.1 PPG17 defines provision for children and young people as one of its eight green space typologies and states that the broad objective of provision for children and young people is to ensure that they have opportunities to interact with their peers and learn social and movement skills within their home environment. At the same time, they must not create nuisance for other residents or appear threatening to passers- by. 7.2 The importance of appropriate provision for children and young people is gaining an increasingly high profile on the national agenda. The importance of ensuring appropriate provision for children is reinforced in the Bexley children and young people’s plan, which places an emphasis on positive involvement and partnership working with children and young people. 7.3 The Supplementary Planning Document to the London Plan states, “ all children and young people should be able to play within local neighbourhoods and have safe and attractive play spaces within walking distance of their homes. For older children and young people, having opportunities to enjoy and develop their own cultural and recreational pursuits is equally important’. Localised provision for both children and young people is perceived to be particularly important in the context of the dense, highly urbanised London environment. 7.4 Play and informal recreation is also addressed in a number of the Mayor’s crosscutting strategies. The overarching strategy is set out in Making London Better for All Children and Young People, but a number of other strategies are relevant, including the Mayor’s Transport, Culture and Childcare Strategies and Walking Plan for London. -

London Borough of Bexley
ELECTORAL REVIEW OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY THE COUNCIL’S PROPOSALS FOR A NEW PATTERN OF ELECTORAL WARDS IN THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Section 1 Introduction The Council on 23 rd July 2014 resolved to seek a review of the electoral arrangements in the London Borough of Bexley on the basis of a proposal that the number of elected members of the Council should be reviewed to allow appropriate representation to best support residents. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (“the Commission”) agreed that it would undertake a review of the London Borough of Bexley’s electoral arrangements. Initial meetings and briefings were conducted by the Commission in February 2015. The Council’s Constitution provides that General Purposes Committee is responsible for elections and electoral matters. On 14 th April that Committee agreed that a Working Group consisting of elected Members of the Council would meet to consider key issues with a view to reaching a consensus on the submissions to be made by the Council. The Working Group met on 2 nd June 2015 and 28 th July 2015 and its discussions informed the submission on Council size. The Council in its submission, with unanimous support from all political groups, proposed that the number of elected Councillors should be reduced from 63 to 45. The Commission has indicated that it is minded to recommend that 45 borough councillors should be elected to the London Borough of Bexley in future and on 8 th September opened its consultation inviting proposals for a new pattern of electoral wards to accommodate those councillors. -
