Kaleidoscope Children's Centre Hilly Fields http://www.wfh.naturalengland.org.uk/walkfinder A walk from the Kaleidoscope Children’s Centre and Rushey Green Practice, Catford, LONDON, SE6 4JF Hilly Fields and Ladywell Cemetery Description: Hilly Fields lives up to its name, commanding views over the north of Lewisham and beyond to Canary Wharf. Ladywell Cemetery is quirky and a peaceful place to visit. While some of the route is being reconstructed, the temporary path surfaces for long stretches are of loose material and muddy when wet. Distance: 3.3 miles Duration: 50 minutes Paces: 6675 paces This is a longer and steeper walk but you can turn back and have a valuable 20 minute walk, if you are short of time. 1. Turn Left out of the Kaleidoscope Children’s Centre. Walk down Hawstead Road to the T-junction with Brookdale. Turn right and cross Medussa Road, taking the path beside and to the right of the athletics track. (470 paces) 2. Continue straight with a basketball court to your right, and Ladywell Wildlife area to your left. Turn left via a footbridge over the river, and then right onto National Cycle Network 21 signposted Lewisham and Ladywell – be alert to cyclists. There are tennis courts on your left, and the new Riverside hospital building to your right. 3. At the lamppost labelled 84, fork left towards Ladywell station, cross the river, and fork right on to a tarmac path towards the main road. (1365 paces) The left fork takes you to the Ladywell Fields Environment Education Centre and to the southbound platform of the station. It is at this point you must decide if you have sufficient time to continue this walk (a further 35 minutes) – if not, take a walk anti-clockwise around Ladywell Fields and retrace your steps to the Kaleidoscope. 4. At the junction with the main road, turn left over the road bridge over the railway, and at the first crossing, cross Ladywell Road and walk down Algernon Road, signposted Hilly Fields and Brockley (1900 paces). Fork left up Vicars Hill; look out for a monkey puzzle tree on the opposite side of the road by Embleton Road. The first entrance into Hilly Fields has a gate and steps. To avoid these continue up Vicars Hill, until you reach the top. There is a second sloped entrance to Hilly Fields on your left (2510 paces). 5. At Hilly Fields turn left, passing benches where you will see a small pyramid bollard that marks an Ordnance survey triangulation point. Before you reach the tennis courts, turn left down a path that becomes Eastern Road, with Prendergast school high up on your right, and a micro wildlife area called Hilly Fields Woods on your left (2930 paces). 1/2 http://www.wfh.naturalengland.org.uk/walkfinder A walk from the Kaleidoscope Children’s Centre and Rushey Green Practice, Catford, LONDON, SE6 4JF Hilly Fields and Ladywell Cemetery – continuation 6. Cross over Adelaide Avenue at the T-junction. Once across turn right walking slightly uphill and just past the bus stop take St Cyprian’s Path down to your left. You emerge opposite Ladywell cemetery on Ivy Road (3130 paces). 7. Turn left following Ivy Road, keeping the cemetery wall to your right, cross Ladywell Road and walk straight down Arthurdon Road. At the T- junction with Chudleigh Road, turn right and then immediately left down Dressington Avenue – there’s an unusual building conversion on the corner (3700 paces). 8. Continue down Dressington Avenue bearing left at the second side road until you reach a T-junction at the brick wall of the Abbey Manor College (SE4 1JQ), turn left here and follow the building line, turning right beside a car park in front of the Ladywell Centre (on your left) (4200 paces). 9. Turn right just before the footbridge over the river at Malyons Road onto a temporary path. When the reconstruction is complete, cross the footbridge and bear right to re-cross the river by the new wooden bridge. This path is part of the National Cycle Network Route 21 - so keep a look out for cyclists. 10. The path is blocked at Bourneville Road, so you have to turn left, pass the tennis courts on your left, to go under the railway and turn immediately right along Adenmore Road towards the Catford rail stations. 11. Here you have the option of either taking the steps, just inside the Catford station building up to Catford Road, or turning right continuing along Adenmore Road, until it meets the Catford Road. You then need to turn left and walk back on the road bridge over the railway (2710 paces). 12. Take the second left into Nelgarde Road, cross Holbeach Road with a primary school of the same name on the left. Turn right at the T-junction with Bradgate Road and follow it to its end at Rushey Green. Turn left back to the Kaleidoscope Centre. 2/2 .

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. The All London Green Grid SPG was developed in parallel with the area frameworks it can be found at the following link: http://www. london.gov.uk/publication/all-london-green-grid-spg .

These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest.

  • Green Spirit -Glendale's Spring 2011 Newsletter.Pub
    Issue 5 The Previous 10-Year Partnership by Molly Hingston Summer 2011 Glendale’s partnership with the London Borough of Lewisham has attracted national recognition for putting parks and open spaces at the heart of local communities. A unique combination of proven green expertise, investment, innovation and accountability successfully met the challenge to revitalise Lewisham’s green spaces. The following highlights some of the achievements and successes of the previous 10-year partnership; 2000 In the year 2000, the partnership between the Borough of Lewisham and Glendale began by a unique private finance initiative investment scheme. Over a three-year period Lewisham received a £1.5m investment from Glendale to finance improvements to parks and green spaces. One of the projects included a £340,000 investment at Chinbrook Meadows to develop the sports pavilion, playground and cricket pitch. 2001 The following year, 2001, Lewisham was awarded the ‘London in Bloom’ award for the ‘Most improved Borough’. The first ever catering facility in the parks opened at Manor House Gardens. Investments were also made in other parks across the Borough; from footpaths to fencing, park signs to toilets and bridges ‘Pistachios in the Park ‘at Manor House Gardens to paddling pools. 2002 A section of the River Quaggy was returned to its natural state in 2002 as part of a £1.2m regeneration project of Chinbrook Meadows. The scheme was the culmination of an innovative partnership between Groundwork, London Borough of Lewisham, Environment Agency and Glendale. A bedding memorial was created in Deptford Park to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee. 2003 2003 saw the first Lewisham Walking Festival and the first Farmers’ Market which was held in Manor House Gardens.

  • Leathersellers' Federation of Schools
    Leathersellers’ Prendergast School Federation of Schools Prendergast Prendergast Ladywell Vale School School 20 March 2015 Dear Colleagues, Consultation on a proposed change of Prendergast School, Prendergast Vale School and Prendergast Ladywell School to Academy Status The Governing Board of the Leathersellers’ Federation of Schools is currently considering whether Prendergast School, Prendergast Ladywell School and Prendergast Vale School should become academies. The proposal is for the schools to become converter academies under a Multi Academy Trust. The decision to change status rests with the Federation’s Governing Board, however the Governors are committed to consider the views of all interested parties and we explain below how you may make your views known. Prendergast School is currently a Voluntary Aided School. Prendergast Vale School and Prendergast Ladywell School are currently Foundation Schools. All staff are employed by the Governing Board of the Leathersellers’ Federation of Schools. There would be three key differences if we convert to Academy status: The schools will cease to be maintained by the Local Authority but will, instead, be funded and maintained directly by the Department for Education (DfE). The funding of the schools will be through an Academy Agreement with the Department for Education, and the amount of funding we will receive will increase slightly through the payment of additional Education Support Grant (ESG). A charitable Academy Trust will be set up to hold ownership of the schools’ land and buildings, and to receive funding from the DfE. The Board of Trustees will oversee the running of all three schools within the MAT. In addition there will be a local governing body of each school, which will include staff representatives, elected parents and members of the school community.
