Could I also ask how much the ongoing annual cost of all maintenance and other services for the park will be, and who will be providing these services. Reply The cost of the refurbishment of Fordham Park is estimated to be £1,125,000. The funding for the whole of the project was provided by the Homes & Communities Agency as part of a programme of infrastructure improvements in North Lewisham. The contractor will provide a 12 month defect liability and 24 months defect liability for trees. The cost of the annual maintenance and management of the park is £32,000 This is provided by Glendale as part of the Council’s Green Space Management contract which covers all parks within the borough. Question Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 2 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 1 MARCH 2011 Question asked by: Ms A Bennet Member to reply: Councillor Best Question If arrangements are made for a transfer of library functions to other bodies and for the formation of up to eight community libraries, as proposed in “Budget Strategy 2011-14 and Savings Options - Libraries”, will these arrangements include: 1. Collection and publication of statistics on visits to, and issues made from, each community library in a manner and form directly comparable with those at present collected? 2. Will there be full publication of the methods used to collect any statistics, including the location of points at which visitors to the community library are counted 3. Will there be a requirement for these community libraries to participate in CIPFA and other surveys and for the Council to publish results on the same basis as the present Lewisham Council Libraries? 4. Will there be recording and publication of the number of occasions on which each community library is not open for the normal advertised hours? Reply Statistical information, including issues and visits will be collected across the service, including at the Community Libraries. The standards applied to evaluate the library service provision will not change. These standards are the same as those applied by other library services and set by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accounting (CIPFA). Community Libraries and Hub Libraries will contribute to the service provision and as such will be monitored in the same way. The Community Libraries will be treated as part of the service provision and will be subject to PLUS (Public Library Users Surveys) and CIPFA monitoring. Unplanned closures are part of the CIPFA annual return.

What are the costs per visit, and the costs per issued item for each of Lewisham's libraries?

Will Lewisham Council investigate to see if this could be emulated in our own Borough? Reply In common with most Local Authorities, Greenwich Council is considering a range of options for reducing costs, these include the introduction of a Trust model. They have yet to make a final decision on the future direction of the service. Supplementary Question No.4 Mr Richardson I am afraid the answer has not been answered fully. Has the council looked into this Trust model that Greenwich is looking into. Councillor Best I have been advised that in view of your letter to the Secretary of State I need to provide written replies to your questions. Question Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 5 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 1 MARCH 2011 Question asked by: Ms L Galloway Member to reply: Councillor Klier Question Given that Tidemill is an outstanding school with an excellent history of parental and community involvement. How can the council ensure that the school undergoes a proper and full consultation with an equality impact assessment when the governors consider afresh whether to make a new application to the Department for Education? Reply Under the new Government’s legislation, applying for Academy status is a matter for schools themselves, not the Local Authority. However, we will always be available to advise schools on process. The letter of 15 th November 2010 from the Executive Director for Children and Young People to the Chair of Governors of Tidemill School formed the Local Authority’s response to the Tidemill governors’ consultation.

  • 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.
