  • Appendix 1 - Selection Criteria
    Appendix 1 - Selection Criteria ILRE Phase 2 Review Criteria Cross-cutting points A clear understanding of local issues, needs, and demand both from a community and business perspective A rationale for the proposed project - why it is appropriate for the area? How much does a project bring an innovative or creative approach in its design or activities? The need to invest in more than shop fronts - looking at parades, the business, activity and events and the surrounding environment. Have we invested in this area before? If so, why this is a project in this area an improvement? What are the potential outputs and outcomes? The following 5 criteria should be used to analyse, challenge and score an area for potential investment ILRE funds and delivery of a specific package of works: 1. Alignment to existing regeneration programmes • Does the location lie in close proximity to existing regeneration programmes, activities or policy areas (e.g. OAPF, Protected Shopping Frontage)? - If it does, how strongly would a project in this area complement existing regeneration? - If it does not, what are the benefits and opportunities of investing here? • Can the benefits of the existing regeneration programme be extended to smaller retail environments on the fringes of the programme area? • How can investment protect and add value to these parades? • Would the project here increase the ability to attract additional funding streams 2. Local Economy Sustainability and Benefits • Can a project’s activities benefit a number of local groups and businesses or add value to existing activities in the area? • Can a project’s outputs continue to bring benefits to local retail groups or collectives after the funding has been spent? • Will the investment create new local employment opportunities • Will the investment result in or have the potential encourage local cottage and creative industries or new business start ups? • What is the likely impact of a project in this area helping to generate ongoing activities in the longer term? 3.

  • Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and Its Representatives from Across Southwark
    Local Government Boundary Commission for England Electoral Review of Southwark Council Southwark Group of Labour Councillors Submission November 2015 1 Introduction The Labour Party in Southwark welcomes the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s review of the warding arrangements in Southwark and their decision that Southwark Council should retain 63 Members for future elections. We now welcome the opportunity to submit evidence to the Commission. Labour has 48 of the 63 councillors on Southwark Council, holds all three parliamentary seats and the GLA seat. This document sets out the thinking of the Southwark Labour Group of Councillors and its representatives from across Southwark. We have used our knowledge of working in communities in every part of the borough to set out our proposals for warding patterns and the communities which make up the details of this proposal. In this paper we set out our joint approach, how that meets the criteria set out in law and information to support these claims. We are very happy to discuss the details of this further with the Commission or provide any additional information that is required. 2 Our approach The Commission set out three statutory criteria to the Council’s Chief Executive in their letter of 8 September 2015. 1. To deliver electoral equality where each councillor represents roughly the same number of electors as others across the borough. The LGBCE’s letter to the Chief Executive agrees the council’s own recommendation that the authority retains its current 63 members. The projected electorate figures mean that each councillor would represent 3,862 electors on average in 2021.

  • Mapping Community Assets, Needs & Networks in East Walworth
    Mapping community assets, needs & networks in east Walworth A report for Notting Hill Genesis January 2019 Introduction Mapping community assets, needs & networks in east Walworth A report for Notting Hill Genesis January 2019 Mapping community assets, needs & networks in east Walworth 1 Introduction This research sets out to explore community needs, assets and networks in the Walworth area in south London. The report was commissioned by Notting Hill Genesis who are Southwark Council’s development partner for the regeneration of the Aylesbury Estate. The intention has been to understand more about the wider area the Aylesbury Estate sits within, to underpin future strategies for community development and to contribute to the evidence base for a new socio- economic charter, to be agreed between Southwark Council and public and third sector agencies working in the area. Our focus has been on the triangular area north of Burgess Park, east of the Walworth Road and west of the Old Kent Road, up to the new Elephant Park development in the north. The area is bounded by the park and the two major roads, it falls into two Southwark Council wards, Faraday and North Walworth. Its area includes the Aylesbury Estate, several smaller council estates and an area of mixed tenure housing. It is only one part of Walworth, the other extends west of the Walworth Road. This is an area of south London with a strong local identity and history. It is a complex neighbourhood where new and longstanding populations live side by side. Some Walworth residents can trace their local roots back for generations.
