  • Cabinet Member Cllr Oliver Lewis
    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Oliver Lewis December 2018 Latest News Live Well Spotlight During the quarter two delivery of the Live Well service, we have achieved some very positive results in terms of health outcomes and stakeholder engagement. Within this quarter, both the number of Just Be website visits and residents opting in for the 12 month face to face behaviour change support increased by 50% or more against that of the same period in year 1. In total, our team of Live Well Advisors have delivered 1,620 initial appointments to residents and helped approximately 250 residents (from July to September) to access and complete the Health MOT at one of the Live Well hubs across Croydon. In October, the team integrated two new health tools to the Just Be website; a Heart Age Calculator and the Stoptober Personal Quit Plan, both of which generated high interest and interaction by residents. Both these tools will become a permanent feature of the website moving forward. Live Well Croydon will shortly be launching the MECC (Making Every Contact Count) on-line training via the council’s learning and development portal. MECC is a tool to support and enable us all to make a difference if we made the most of each and every opportunity to have a brief conversation with the people we meet on a daily basis; our residents, colleagues and friends and point them in the right direction for help in making healthy lifestyle choices. MECC should be an integral part of what we do across all of our services and to this end we have signed up to the MECC London Pledge.

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.

To provide comment and inform the development of BRIEF FOR the Culture Plan and a Libraries Plan for Croydon THE Council. COMMITTEE: 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Both a Cultural Plan and a Libraries Plan are currently in development for Croydon and due to be agreed at the May Cabinet later this year. Both will respond to the current challenges and opportunities for these areas and build on the strengths and achievements. This report outlines current provision as a background report to the SWOT analysis presented at committee and sets out the draft priority themes of both plans. 2 A cultural plan for Croydon 2.1 The support of culture in Croydon within the context of the regeneration taking place has been a priority over the last 3-5 years. The focus during that time has been on activity; the major redevelopment of the Fairfield Halls and securing an operator for its future, on supporting the cultural sector in Croydon and creating opportunities for it to grow, on the consolidation and development of a calendar of cultural events and on building partnerships both in and outside of the borough. The development of a Cultural Plan for the Borough is now timely, to build on this growing groundswell of activity and create a framework for activity for the next 5-10 years.

  • The Future of Fairfield Halls
    THE FUTURE OF FAIRFIELD HALLS Sean Creighton, Norbury resident, historian, and Co-ordinator of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Network A discussion contribution by Sean FRED SCOTT, CROYDON PIANIST, ON WORKING WITH FH FH has always been co-operative in allowing me to book events there focused on performances involving local young artists across genres of music. ‘Soundpractice has staged events including lunchtime concerts, pre-concert foyer performances and events for last year's Coleridge-Taylor Festival. This last especially was a great forum for young people to perform; some students of mine were able to have premiered a piece they had written around SCT, also involving LMP in the performance. Last November saw local Youth Theatre Company Studio 74 give the first performance in Ashcroft Theatre of a new musical by Stella Coussell (South London composer) called 'Song for the World', based around the life of SCT, a further performance for BHM 2013 is currently being arranged. in addition, Soundpractice has been able to put on concerts as fund-raisers for Skeletal Cancer Action Trust, some of these have featured people affected by that disease. More of these concerts are planned for 2014. There will be a series of concerts in Spring 2014 which will raise funds for SCAT, involving a celebration of the 80th birthday of eminent British composer, and South London resident, Justin Connolly, who will also be performing himself. Future concerts in 2014 will also include prominent international artists in recital who bring their considerable following to Croydon. Included in current planning is to stage a major international-reach multi-genre music festival culminating in a collaboration to find instrumentalists, composers and conductors of excellence.

  • Roundshaw Downs Habitat Improvements
    Page 29 Agenda Item 7 London Borough of Sutton Beddington and Wallington Local Committee 17 May 2011 Report of the Executive Head of Environmental Sustainability Roundshaw Downs – HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS Ward Location: Beddington South Author(s) and Contact Phone Number(s): Hendryk Jurk (Ext. 5329) Area Served: Beddington South Executive Councillor: Cllr Colin Hall Summary This report sets out the results of the initial consultation on the principle to introduce conservation grazing as a site management tool for Roundshaw Downs Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Conservation grazing is a well documented method of improving floristic and hence, faunal diversity and is widely used by organisations including RSPB, National Trust, County Councils and Natural England as a preferred site management tool. The proposals aim to ensure long-term improvements to the chalk grassland habitat at Roundshaw Downs. Chalk grassland is a local, regional and national Biodiversity Action Plan Priority Habitat. Cattle grazing on this site would positively improve the sward and botanical distribution, leading to an increase in overall species diversity. Improving the Borough’s biodiversity is part of Sutton’s commitment to become London’s most sustainable suburb. The introduction of conservation grazing requires the installation of an accessible permanent enclosure. This would impact on a number of site uses currently carried out on the LNR. The consultation sought site users’ views as to whether a grazing project would be supported in principle and what issues would need addressing to minimise the impact on current site uses. 128 responses were received. 75 (58%) of respondents were in favour of the principle of conservation grazing, 47 (37%) against and 6 (5%) undecided.
