    Cllr Godfrey

    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Timothy Godfrey January 2018 Latest News Live Well Croydon The Live Well Croydon Programme is making great headway in supporting Croydon residents towards improving healthy lifestyles, whether it’s signposting people to local opportunities to increase physical activity, provide motivation for those who wish to give up smoking or lose weight or improve mental health and wellbeing; our team of Live Well Advisors have so far provided initial consultations to just over 260 residents. The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes. More information about the Live Well Croydon Programme and healthy lifestyle information, advice and support can be found via: https://www.justbecroydon.org/ Get Active Wandle Get Active Wandle moves into year 3 in January and is continuing to deliver positive outcomes for Croydon. The Wandle Valley Regional Park Trust have delivered a number of physical activity sessions in Croydon as a result of our support to this project and are in contact with us regarding the activities to be delivered in year 3.

    THE CROYDON PONDS PROJECT JANE Mclauchlin, MALCOLM

    THE CROYDON PONDS PROJECT JANE McLAUCHLIN, MALCOLM JENNINGS and ADAM ASQUITH TCV Croydon, Pond Cottage, Coombe Wood, Conduit Lane, Croydon CR0 5RQ [email protected] ABSTRACT Animals and plants were recorded in forty-two ponds in the London Borough of Croydon, and the results compared with our earlier survey of 1994-5. INTRODUCTION Croydon’s ponds were surveyed in 1994 and 1995 (McLauchlin and Jennings 1998). Since this survey, ponds have disappeared and new ponds have been created. It is in the nature of ponds to change; without management they tend to fill in and disappear (Biggs et al 1994), but they can be restored. Existing ponds and historic ponds in Croydon’s parks are described and mapped in Winterman (1988), and since this date further ponds have disappeared and new ponds created. Croydon is notable for the number of Friends of Parks groups, supported and coordinated by the London Borough of Croydon. Many of our ponds are local landmarks, and are important for their historic and ecological value. Ponds are a popular target for active conservation work to enhance the biodiversity and appearance, although over-enthusiastic management bears the risk of accidentally removing rare plants and animals, and introducing invasive species. In 2018, TCV, The Conservation Volunteers, were awarded a Heritage Lottery Fund grant to survey the history, and the plant and animal life of Croydon’s ponds. The objective of the project was to collate historic information, and use the ecological surveys to develop effective management plans for the ponds, to increase their value to wildlife, to ensure their future survival and to highlight the importance of ponds in the local environment.
