Walks Programme: July to September 2021
LONDON STROLLERS WALKS PROGRAMME: JULY TO SEPTEMBER 2021 NOTES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COVID-19: Following discussions with Ramblers’ Central Office, it has been confirmed that as organized ‘outdoor physical activity events’, Ramblers’ group walks are exempt from other restrictions on social gatherings. This means that group walks in London can continue to go ahead. Each walk is required to meet certain requirements, including maintenance of a register for Test and Trace purposes, and completion of risk assessments. There is no longer a formal upper limit on numbers for walks; however, since Walk Leaders are still expected to enforce social distancing, and given the difficulties of doing this with large numbers, we are continuing to use a compulsory booking system to limit numbers for the time being. Ramblers’ Central Office has published guidance for those wishing to join group walks. Please be sure to read this carefully before going on a walk. It is available on the main Ramblers’ website at www.ramblers.org.uk. The advice may be summarised as: - face masks must be carried and used, for travel to and from a walk on public transport, and in case of an unexpected incident; - appropriate social distancing must be maintained at all times, especially at stiles or gates; - you should consider bringing your own supply of hand sanitiser, and - don’t share food, drink or equipment with others. Some other important points are as follows: 1. BOOKING YOUR PLACE ON A WALK If you would like to join one of the walks listed below, please book a place by following the instructions given below.

Neighbourhood Policing Evaluation
Agenda Item 9 Neighbourhood Policing Evaluation London Area Baselining Study September 2009 British Transport Police 1 Contents_______________________________________ __________ Executive summary 2 Background 4 Methodology 6 Case Studies 1 Croydon 11 2 Wimbledon 19 3 Finsbury Park 27 4 Seven Sisters 35 5 Acton Mainline 41 6 Stratford 48 Officer survey findings 55 Appendix 58 Quality of Service Research Team Strategic Development Department Strategic Services Force Headquarters 25 Camden Road London, NW1 9LN Tel: 020 7830 8911 Email: [email protected] British Transport Police 2 Executive summary______________________________________ Many of the rail staff who took part in the evaluation spoke of feeling neglected by a police service that they perceived to be more engaged with its own organisational agenda than with the needs of its users. This was evidenced by the failure of BTP’s current policing arrangements to reflect the needs of staff effectively. Of great interest was the way in which many staff spoke of their hopes and expectations for the future. The introduction of NP was often described in glowing terms, considered capable of providing the visible, accessible and familiar police presence that staff thought was needed to close the gap that had developed between themselves and BTP. Indeed, the strongest message for NPTs is that staff confidence may appear low, but their expectations are high. It became clear throughout the evaluation that each site has its own narrative – its own unique collection of challenges, customs and conflicts which can only be understood by talking to those with ‘local’ knowledge. Indeed, as will become clear throughout the following report, the experiential knowledge of those who work on and regularly use the railways is at present a largely untapped resource.

The Park Keeper
The Park Keeper 1 ‘Most of us remember the park keeper of the past. More often than not a man, uniformed, close to retirement age, and – in the mind’s eye at least – carrying a pointed stick for collecting litter.

The work continues: July 2003 saw the publication by English Heritage of the thirteenth Register of Buildings at Risk in Greater London. There is one difference from the records of earlier centuries, however.The London BAR Register, like its twelve predecessors, records those listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments known to be at risk from neglect, decay, under-use or redundancy with the speciﬁc intention of bringing their plight to public notice. Its success is undeniable: 90% of the buildings on the 1991 Register have since been repaired. Its track record in bringing historic buildings back from the brink is established – but the dereliction and under-use continue. This third edition of Changing London explores ‘Steadily, we are shifting the some of the success stories and the outstanding challenges in this important aspect of London life. focus of Buildings At Risk to It also looks beyond conservation and restoration preventing –rather than to active regeneration initiatives. rescuing – ruins.’ Delcia Keate Regional Adviser for Buildings at Risk.

Custodians for Covid, Theatres Press Release
Oxford-based photographer Joanna Vestey and collaborator Tara Rowse have set up a bold fundraising initiative, Custodians for Covid, to raise funds for threatened arts institutions. Its ﬁrst edition focuses on raising money for theatres currently in crisis due to the Covid-imposed lockdown. This includes world renowned theatres such as the National Theatre, the Roundhouse and the Young Vic. (L) Deborah McGhee, Head of Building Operations, The Globe. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey (R) Charlie Jones, Building Services Manager, The Royal Albert Hall. London, June 2020 © Joanna Vestey Vestey has produced a collection of 20 photographs, each featuring an affected London theatre, portraying the custodian who is charged with its care during this time of crisis. The photographs are being sold in limited editions to raise funds for each theatre. The target is to raise £1million in charitable donations for the 20 London theatres, amounting to £50,000 per theatre. Each image in the series features an iconic theatre space in which Vestey has highlighted a custodian. The custodian’s presence brings the setting to life and celebrates the often-unknown role of the guardians who continue to maintain these institutions. The series explores themes such as heritage, stewardship, identity and preservation, which feel even more poignant given the isolation so many are currently experiencing and the uncertainties so many face. The images are for sale through Joanna Vestey's website and build on her widely acclaimed series custodians, the first of which focused on the hallowed institutions of Oxford, together with the custodians responsible for them. The series was exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Oxford Biennale as well as published by and exhibited at The Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
