London Cable Tunnels London cable tunnels The project London accounts for 20% of the UK’s electricity demand and this is continuing to grow by 3-5% a year. This compares to the UK average of 1-2% a year. It is National Grid’s responsibility to ensure there is sufficient transmission infrastructure available to support future energy demand in London and, as part of our investment programme, we are planning to build four deep tunnels which will house new 400,000 volt (400kV) cables. The work is essential to ensure London has a safe and secure electricity transmission network into the future. These tunnels will connect existing substations at: • Hackney • St John’s Wood • Willesden • Wimbledon • Hurst • Eltham London cable tunnels Traditional cable laying just below the road surface leads to traffic congestion Why a tunnel? In London most electricity is transmitted through underground cables. They are traditionally located just beneath the road surface and work to maintain these cables is carried out in the road. By housing new electricity cables in tunnels deep below the road surface a number of advantages are achieved compared to traditional methods: • Major disruption to the road network throughout London is avoided as we do not need to dig up the streets to lay the cable • Overall disruption to Londoners and road users during construction is significantly reduced as the majority of the works take place under ground • Future repair and maintenance work can be carried out Traffic congestion in London without disrupting traffic, businesses and residents • Additional cables can be installed in the tunnels to meet future demand London cable tunnels How do you build a tunnel? A shaft, approximately 15m in diameter, is sunk at a large construction site known as a drive site. A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is then lowered down the shaft and starts tunnelling along a pre-determined route at approximately 120m per week. The TBM carries out two main activities. It moves forward cutting through the earth and it also inserts a tunnel lining of concrete segments. The TBM ends its journey at a reception site where another TBM breakthrough shaft is sunk and the TBM is removed. London cable tunnels Cable installation Once the tunnel is complete the high voltage cables are pulled through the tunnel from large drums at the drive site. These lengths are then joined together using specialist techniques. The cables connect to National Grid’s substations at either end of the route via the shafts. A cable drum delivery Once the cables are installed, any shafts which are not required for access or ventilation are backfilled. London cable tunnels Working with the community National Grid is committed to working with local communities and to minimising the impact of its works wherever possible. A community relations programme will be carried out before work begins and before any planning applications are submitted for the headhouses which are required as part of the tunnel route. National Grid will maintain regular contact during construction with local communities in a number of different ways including: • Public exhibitions • Project leaflets • Project updates by letter • Dedicated community relations team • Dedicated community relations phone number 0800 783 2855 • Local media We are keen to support the local communities in which we operate and are interested to hear of any community initiatives we could support. These should be in the areas of: • Education and skills • Environment and energy • Community development London cable tunnels Substation Headhouses Ground level Temporary Works Area Shafts Tunnel Shafts and headhouses Intermediate shafts and headhouses are required at key points along the route of the tunnel. The tunnel boring machine will link these points as it progresses along the routes. The shafts and headhouses are needed for the following reasons: • Health & Safety – It is essential to have access points to ensure the safety of our workforce during construction. Tunnel shaft headhouse The shafts are also used to access the tunnel for maintenance work once the tunnel is commissioned • Ventilation – Ventilation equipment, in the form of fans, is required to cool the cables and regulate the temperature inside the tunnel The headhouses will be designed in order to minimise their visual impact on the local area. For example, the building materials will be chosen to complement the surrounding environment in agreement with the local council. London cable tunnels Who is National Grid?

BECKENHAM COPERS COPE & KANGLEY BRIDGE Character The introduction of the railway in mid-Victorian times saw Beckenham develop from a small village into a town on the edge of suburbia. The majority of dwellings in the area are Victorian with some 1940’s and 50’s flats and houses. On the whole houses tend to have fair sized gardens; however, where there are smaller dwellings and flatted developments there is a lack of available off-street parking. During the later part of the 20th century a significant number of Victorian villas were converted or replaced by modern blocks of flats or housing. Ten conservation areas have been established to help preserve and enhance the appearance of the area reflecting the historic character of the area.

  • Green Chain Walk – Section 6 of 11
    Transport for London.. Green Chain Walk. Section 6 of 11. Oxleas Wood to Mottingham. Section start: Oxleas Wood. Nearest stations Oxleas Wood (bus stop on Shooters Hill / A207) to start: or Falconwood . Section finish: Mottingham. Nearest stations Mottingham to finish: Section distance: 3.7 miles (6.0 kilometres). Introduction. Walk in the footsteps of royalty as you pass Eltham Palace and the former hunting grounds of the Tudor monarchs who resided there. The manor of Eltham came into royal possession on the death of the Bishop of Durham in 1311. The parks were enclosed in the 14th Century and in 1364 John II of France yielded himself to voluntary exile here. In 1475 the Great Hall was built on the orders of Edward IV and the moat bridge probably dates from the same period. Between the reigns of Edward IV and Henry VII the Palace reached the peak of its popularity, thereafter Tudor monarchs favoured the palace at Greenwich. Directions. To reach the start of this section from Falconwood Rail Station, turn right on to Rochester Way and follow the road to Oxleas Wood. Enter the wood ahead and follow the path to the Green Chain signpost. Alternatively, take bus route 486 or 89 to Oxleas Wood stop and take the narrow wooded footpath south to reach the Green Chain signpost. From the Green Chain signpost in the middle of Oxleas Wood follow the marker posts south turning left to emerge at the junction of Welling Way and Rochester Way. Cross Rochester Way at the traffic lights and enter Shepherdleas Wood.

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 .

  • Bexley Bird Report 2016
    Bexley Bird Report 2016 Kingfisher –Crossness – Donna Zimmer Compiled by Ralph Todd June 2017 Bexley Bird Report 2016 Introduction This is, I believe, is the very first annual Bexley Bird Report, it replaces a half yearly report previously produced for the RSPB Bexley Group Newsletter/web-site and Bexley Wildlife web- site. I shall be interested in any feedback to try and measure how useful, informative or welcome it is. I suspect readers will be surprised to read that 153 different species turned up across the Borough during the 12 months of 2016. What is equally impressive is that the species reports are based on just over 13,000 individual records provided by nearly 80 different individuals. Whilst every endeavour has been made to authenticate the records they have not been subject to the rigorous analysis they would by the London Bird Club (LBC) as would normally be the case prior to publication in the annual London Bird Report (LBR). This report has also been produced in advance of the final data being available from LBC as this is not available until mid-summer the following year – it is inevitable therefore that some records might be missing. I am, however, confident no extra species would be added. The purpose of the report is four-fold:- To highlight the extraordinary range of species that reside, breed, pass through/over or make temporary stops in the Borough To hopefully stimulate a greater interest not only in the birds but also the places in which they are found. Bexley Borough has a wide range of open spaces covering a great variety of habitat types.

  • Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan
    Appendix A: Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan HARLESDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2019 - 2034 May 2019 Images in this document produced by Harlesden Neighbourhood Hood Forum unless otherwise stated. With thanks to Crisis Brent Community Researcher volunteers and photography group, as well as to our Forum members, local volunteers and all those who have contributed to the preparation of this document. A welcome from the Chair of the Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum Welcome to the Harlesden Neighbourhood Plan - a vision of how Harlesden can develop and grow over the next fifteen years whilst preserving its distinct heritage. Policies within the Neighbourhood Plan are restricted to matters amenable to planning – primarily the built, physical environment. The Plan’s remit does not extend to local services, cultural and arts activities or economic development, although of course planning policies can contribute to the protection and growth of all these things. Harlesden Neighbourhood Forum’s ambitions for our area however go far beyond planning policy. We hope you will continue to engage with the development of the Plan and work of the Forum throughout the formal process and beyond. Beyond the Plan we are keen to develop an exciting and unique offer for visitors and residents alike based on Harlesden’s cultural and artistic diversity. Harlesden is a colourful, neighbourhood in north west London, home to people from across the world, where you can sample a dizzying range of cultures and cuisines from Brazilian to Polish, Trinidadian to Somali. Where, in a single visit, you can pop into some of the best Caribbean food stores in London, admire the beauty and history of Harlesden’s churches or enjoy the outdoors in beautiful Roundwood Park or one of our newly regenerated pocket parks.

Supported by the Koret Foundation, this suite of resources mixes music, story and Willesden Lane technology to reshape Holocaust education for primary and secondary school students. By Mona Golabek and Lee Cohen Created by USC Shoah Foundation as part of The Willesden Project 1 Attributions About the Authors Mona Golabek is a Grammy-nominated recording artist, an internationally celebrated concert pianist, and the star of the one-woman show The Pianist of Willesden Lane. She travels the world, sharing the inspirational story of her mother, Lisa Jura. Lee Cohen is a journalist, screenwriter, and poet. About the Book Fourteen-year-old Lisa Jura was a musical prodigy who hoped to become a concert pianist. But when Hitler’s armies advanced on pre-war Vienna, Lisa’s parents were forced to make a difficult decision. Able to secure passage for only one of their three daughters through the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that relocated Jewish children to Great Britain—they chose to send gifted Lisa to London for safety. Living in a home for refugee children on Willesden Lane, Lisa felt the weight of her parents’ choice and yearned to be reunited with her family. But despite her circumstances, Lisa created a new life for herself, and her music became a beacon of hope for all the children of Willesden Lane.
