Introduction 1. The Culture Network meeting raised a number important issues and concerns that need to be addressed about the implementation of the award of Borough of Culture 2023 status. This is difficult as the two planning meetings that were announced would take place in March and April are not going ahead because of the coronavirus emergency. That does not mean that debate should stop. Many people involved in the Network will have more time to think about it as their events have been cancelled. Debate can take place by email, telephone, Skype, Zoom, etc. Several of the issues and concerns relate to overall aims of being Borough of Culture, as well as practical considerations. 2. There are several tensions and contradictions within the proposals that clearly could not be ironed out at the time the bid was submitted to the Mayor of London.

  • The Rt Revd the Bishop of Southwark by Email Only Dear Bishop Mission
    The Rt Revd the Bishop of Southwark Rex Andrew Pastoral By email only Our ref: NB37/256b 30 October 2020 Dear Bishop Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 Benefice and parish of All Saints, Spring Park; and parishes of St George, Shirley; and Shirley (also known locally as St John, Shirley) Proposed Pastoral Scheme Following the publication of the draft Pastoral Scheme providing for: (i) the dissolution of the benefice and parish of All Saints, Spring Park and the division of the area of its parish between the parishes of St George, Shirley; and Shirley (also known locally as St John, Shirley); (ii) the parish church of All Saints, Spring Park to become a chapel of ease in the parish of Shirley; (iii) the transfer of the parsonage house of the benefice of All Saints, Spring Park to the Southwark Diocesan Board of Finance as diocesan glebe we received 45 representations against the draft Scheme, 12 in favour, three letters of comment and five which were received out of time (one of which consists of photographs supplementing a representation made within time). The draft Scheme carried the following as the diocesan rationale for your proposals: As the result of ongoing concerns about the financial viability and capacity for governance and mission going forward, the Bishop of Southwark held a Visitation to the parish of All Saints, Spring Park in 2016. This was conducted by the Bishop and Archdeacon of Croydon. A series of Directions were issued as a result of this, designed to help the parish to address these areas. There has sadly been no evidence that this has been the case nor has the parish demonstrated the future capacity to do so.

Our specialist contractor, JSM, will carry out work in your ward from late-May, at the locations detailed below, and we expect to complete the works in autumn. We have carefully planned the decommissioning project to minimise disruption to the local community, and we are working closely with local authorities to coordinate our activities. - Junction between Croham Valley - Farnborough Avenue: To be Road and The Ruffetts: Detailed confirmed below - Broadcoombe: To be confirmed - Island junction between Farnborough - Footpath between Broadcoombe and Avenue and Farnborough Crescent: Farnborough Avenue: To be Detailed below confirmed - Croham Valley Road: To be - Huntingfield: To be confirmed confirmed - Falconwood Road: To be confirmed - Selsdon Park Road: To be confirmed The first phase of this work is purging the cables with air to remove the oil. Works will take place next to the junction between Croham Valley Road and The Ruffetts from 27 May to 7 June 2021. Further works will commence in the island junction between Farnborough Avenue and Farnborough Crescent from 31 May to 10 June 2021.

  • Woodlands and Hedgerows
    London Borough of Croydon Habitat Action Plan Woodlands and Hedgerows “One impulse from a vernal wood may teach you more of man, of moral, evil and of good, than all the sagas can. (William Wordsworth) 1. Aims • To conserve and enhance Croydon’s Woodlands and hedgerows for the benefit of biodiversity and for both current and future generations of people. • To promote, maintain and improve the active involvement by all sections of the community in the enjoyment, use and conservation of Croydon’s woodlands and hedgerows 1 2. Introduction Woodlands and hedgerows are an important element in the natural environment of the Borough. They provide opportunities for recreation, health and well being, are a valued component of the landscape, an essential habitat for wildlife, provide employment, contribute to the supply of timber and are an effective means of absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Much woodland is identified as being ‘ancient woodland’ (that which has been in existence since at least 1600); they are described as `semi-natural’ because the woodlands have received past management. They represent the most important woodland habitats for wildlife, sometimes containing species of national rarity. The majority of woods are comprised of broad-leaved species, although some coniferous plantations exist. The Great Storm of 1987 had a widespread impact on trees and woodlands throughout the Borough; it also brought many benefits, including a profusion of deadwood habitats, the rebirth of woodland management and an increase in public involvement and interest to better manage Croydon’s woods for now and for future generations. 3. Current status Woodland is the second most extensive natural habitat found in London.
