Bexley Sure Start Childrens Centres “It really has been a lifeline for us, a happy, friendly and welcoming place, family- orientated and with a family atmosphere. Paul feels comfortable there, and my brother, who has Downs Syndrome is always welcomed, too. It’s a place for everyone, and I have recommended it to so many people because I feel so strongly that it should be used and enjoyed.” Emma and Paul Burt-Reed have one daughter, Hannah, aged two. “I have a friend whose partner is expecting a child and I’m keen to let him know what an asset the Centre can be. I’ve explained that being a full-time dad is hard work but very rewarding, especially when you know that help is out there when you need it.” Twenty-three year old Ben Winder and his daughter, 15 month old Chloe, live in Bexley, where they are regular visitors to a Bexley Sure Start Children’s Centre.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

  • 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.

  • Slade Green Community Forum
    Registered Charity No. 1097246 To : The Review Officer (Bexley), Local Government Boundary Commission for England From: Slade Green Community Forum Re: Proposed Boundary Changes for Bexley Dear Sir Slade Green Community Forum is a charity with aims of improving lines of communication within the community of Slade Green and the eastern part of Erith and agencies delivering services in our area, and generally benefiting the community. Membership is open to all residents aged 16 or over in the current Northend ward of Bexley Borough. This response to the proposed changes has been discussed and approved by our Executive Committee but excluded discussion with or input from our ward councillors (including one who is an Executive Committee member), as they will have their say through the Labour Party response. Comment on the current proposals We note that one of your three main considerations for the electoral review is to ‘Reflect community identity’. We are therefore surprised and somewhat dismayed that your proposals cut our community in half by using the railway line that goes through the centre of Slade Green as a ward boundary. The current proposals similarly cut Erith in half, and we note local speculation that this is because the two communities ‘vote the wrong way’. We note that there may be some confusion about the name and geographic location of Northend (referred to by the current proposals as “North End”). The preferred local spelling is Northend, reflected in the name of the road leading there (now part of the A206), which is Northend Road, as well as the former name of the local primary school (Northend School, now Peareswood School) and the former railway level crossing (Northend Crossing).

  • Provisional Checklist and Account of the Mammals of the London Borough of Bexley
    PROVISIONAL CHECKLIST AND ACCOUNT OF THE MAMMALS OF THE LONDON BOROUGH OF BEXLEY Compiled by Chris Rose BSc (Hons), MSc. 4th edition. December 2016. Photo: Donna Zimmer INTRODUCTION WHY PROVISIONAL? Bexley’s mammal fauna would appear to be little studied, at least in any systematic way, and its distribution is incompletely known. It would therefore be premature to suggest that this paper contains a definitive list of species and an accurate representation of their actual abundance and geographical range in the Borough. It is hoped, instead, that by publishing and then occasionally updating a ‘provisional list’ which pulls together as much currently available information as can readily be found, it will stimulate others to help start filling in the gaps, even in a casual way, by submitting records of whatever wild mammals they see in our area. For this reason the status of species not thought to currently occur, or which are no longer found in Bexley, is also given. Mammals are less easy to study than some other groups of species, often being small, nocturnal and thus inconspicuous. Detecting equipment is needed for the proper study of Bats. Training in the live-trapping of small mammals is recommended before embarking on such a course of action, and because Shrews are protected in this regard, a special licence should be obtained first in case any are caught. Suitable traps need to be purchased. Dissection of Owl pellets and the identification of field signs such as Water Vole droppings can help fill in some of the gaps. Perhaps this document will be picked up by local students who may be looking for a project to do as part of their coursework, and who will be able to overcome these obstacles.

  • Proposed Development Sites, There Is Always a Risk of Impacting the Underlying Soils, Particularly During Clearance and Demolition Works
    THE SPORTSMAN - SLADE GREEN PHASE 1 DESK STUDY THE SPORTSMAN - SLADE GREEN PHASE 1 DESK STUDY NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY SUMMARY Site 35 Moat Lane, in Slade Green, Kent, DA8 2ND It is understood that proposals involve the clearance of the site and construction of a Proposed residential development. The proposed development will comprise nine apartments with Development communal open space, access roads, private gardens and soft verges. Current Use Sports club /bar and five-a-side football pitch. On-site: From the earliest mapping record dated 1895, the site is present as open ground. No changes are shown until 1938 whereupon the site is labelled as Allotment Gardens. By 1961, a fence is present on site orientated north / south in the centre of the site. The currently present sports club building is first shown on the 1972 mapping record. By at least 2000, the club building had been extended to the north and occupies circa 50% of the site at this time (western half). The eastern half of the site is shown as a five-a-side Site History football pitch. No further changes are noted on mapping records. Off-site: From 1938, the area of land immediately to the north of the site appears to have been reduced in level, likely caused by shallow excavation of superficial deposits. Whilst excavation does not appear to have encroached onto the subject site, the embankment created by the excavation is present immediately north of the site. It is also noted that by 1938 the excavation activities had already ceased with the former quarry area labelled as a Sports Ground with a pavilion.

The route offers easy walking alongside the rivers on raised banks or riverside paths, on open ground through Hall Place then, after crossing the A2, it continues through Churchfield Wood before emerging at Bexley.
