Kew Village Plan - Achievements So Far (Covering the Period October 2012 - May 2015) Kew Village Plan - Achievements so far (covering the period October 2012 - May 2015) The Village Plan describes a vision for your village and identifies what the council, communities, business and partners can do to achieve the vision together. For more information on the village planning process see http://www.richmond.gov.uk/kew_area_village_plan Below is a summary of priorities you identified during the village planning process and what we have achieved together so far to help shape and improve your village. 1 Council Projects Projects / actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Parks Improvement A Parks’ Improvement Programme, was introduced in 2012 with a budget of £3m aims to provide people with the Programme (PIP) opportunity to live their life through Richmond’s Parks and encouraging residents to make parks part of their day to day life Improvement proposals will be the subject of consultation locally, but the key projects will be developed in line with the following themes: 1) Access: 2) A river borough: 3) A place to play: 4) A flowered borough New Pavilion and Cafe North Sheen Recreation Ground benefited from a new pavilion with community room and cafe thanks to a £1m Football Foundation Grant and Council funding in 2012. Supplementary Planning The Council piloted a new process for village planning in two areas of the borough in 2013/14 and Kew was one of Document (SPD) these. A Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for Kew has been completed, the official public consultation A unique planning process period for this ended on 7 April 2014. Various public consultations were held throughout Kew to ensure that for Kew residents got a chance to have their say, including a Question and Answer session with the Leader of the Council and local Councillors. The Village Plan and SPD outlines the vision for Kew and gives residents and businesses a chance to influence key policies and plans for their village area. 2 COMMUNITY PROJECTS Projects/ actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Kew Village Community Kew Village Community Market was awarded a start-up grant from the Council’s Civic Pride Fund for a Sunday Market market selling local produce in Station Approach and Station Parade, Kew Village. Kew Village Market has now become a sociable monthly highlight as friends and neighbours meet while shopping and enjoy a bite of lunch while listening to local bands. The market needs more volunteers – if you can spare a couple of hours once a month to help, please visit the Kew Village Community Market website. 1 Kew Fete Kew Fete is a local event run by volunteers with 3 main aims: - To provide a great day of family fun and entertainment - To bring together all local community players - To donate the money raised to local charities Crowds of over 10,000 attended in June 2014, raising over £12,000 for local charities. The Kew Fete has now raised over £50,000 since its inception in 2010.For further information please see the Kew Fete website. Civic Pride Fund Awards A number of community organisations have been received Civic Pride Fund Awards to help fund their community projects Richmond Card The new Richmond Card was launched. It combines the previous parking card/discounts, library membership, and the opportunity to join local sports and fitness centres. If you use any of our facilities once a week or more it will be cost effective to add on a leisure subscription when applying for a Richmond Card. 3 HOUSING Projects/ actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Affordable Housing From April 2010 to March 2014, the Council working with its partners has delivered four hundred and thirty three affordable homes for borough residents; this included the borough’s first specialist Extra Care Housing Scheme and supported housing schemes for the learning disability and mental health services. Two affordable homes have been provided in Kew Village. Tackling overcrowding To help tackle overcrowding the Council has provided £750,000 to extend the homes of 22 families in need of larger social housing borough-wide. This solution has proved less disruptive for the families; additional funding was provided by the Housing Associations involved. New Housing Allocation A new housing allocation policy was implemented in May 2013; it gives greater priority to households where Policy someone is working and who have lived in the borough for three or more years. We are also committed to assisting members of the armed forces and rehoused our first ex-serviceman in Armistice week 2013. Since February 2014 residents have been able to apply to the borough’s Housing Register online. Tenants Champion From January 2011 the Tenants’ Champion has supported tenants and leaseholders who rent or lease their property from a Housing Association in the borough and who have serious unresolved complaints. Tackling issues such as anti-social behaviour, repairs and general housing matters including housing transfers the Tenants’ Champion has assisted one hundred and forty three households. Disabled Facility Grants Between April 2010 and March 2014 the Council facilitated five hundred and fifty four Disabled Facility Grants to help people with adaptations to their homes such as walk in showers and disability access. Coldbusters grants We’re working in partnership with Climate Energy to provide Coldbusters grants to make homes warmer and more 2 energy efficient, helping to keep fuel costs down. If you are an owner, occupier or private tenant and in receipt of an income or disability related benefit or over 60 and on a low income (subject to a means test), you may be eligible for a Coldbusters grant. Check the Coldbusters leaflet (pdf, 1194KB) to see if you are eligible. Discuss your needs with one of our energy advisers on 0800 358 6668. 4 HIGH STREET AND COMMERCIAL CENTRES Projects/ actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Supporting businesses/ The Council recognises the value of local small businesses and encourages the development of business/traders’ traders networks as well as providing a forum for all the local networks to share their ideas and engage with the Council to help boost local trade. Mix of shops/ retailers The mix and number of retailers is largely out of the Council’s control and beyond the application of our existing planning powers. What the Council can do is to maintain the best possible business environment in Kew and our other town centres to ensure it is an attractive investment proposition for retailers. Empty Shops Grant Although the borough has a relatively low level of empty retail units, residents and businesses would like to see more of these used. Temporary use of empty shops can enliven high streets, provide an outlet for community creativity and entrepreneurialism and also lead to permanent use of the unit. We have put in place a small grant scheme to encourage temporary use of empty shops, along with guidance on how to do this. Individuals or groups can apply for up to £2000 towards the costs of opening or operating the shop. For further information, see our empty shops grant page. Town Centre Opportunities The Council supports its key town and district centres through funding from the Town Centre Opportunities Fund Fund which is available for a range of projects and management support. Funding for celebrations We have also provided additional funding for Christmas and Jubilee festivities, including the Kew Sparkle Christmas event. Richmond Business Card Introduced the Richmond Card business offers scheme, providing independent local traders with a free promotional platform. Businesses provide offers or discounts for the 67,000+ card holders and the council promotes these through dedicated web pages and its many marketing channels. 5 PARKS AND OPEN SPACES Projects/ actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Protect our open spaces The majority of our open space is already protected under planning regulations. from developers Trees obstructing Residents are encouraged to report where trees are obstructing footpaths. This can be reported online. footpaths Every year trees are inspected and recorded by the Council. Any appropriate work is identified and instructions are given to the Council’s contractor. Routine pruning maintains the trees in safe condition and addresses many residents’ concerns such as overhanging branches, controlling the growth and size of the tree, improving light to houses. 3 Westerley Ware Play area The children’s play area at Westerley Ware was upgraded in 2012 to increase play value and add new equipment. Working with the Westerly Ware Association in 2013 we replaced some of the older benches and carried repairs to steps within the gardens. May 2013 also saw the arrival of Bob’s Bees – Bob has been a member of the British Beekeepers Association for 75 years. The bees are safely enclosed behind a 4ft enclosure to protect them and any inquisitive dogs or children! Green Flag for Westerly We applied for a Green Flag for Westerly Ware in 2014, judging took place in the summer and we were awarded Ware the Green Flag status in the autumn. 6 SCHOOLS Projects/ actions WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED TOGETHER Develop schools and Darrell Primary School, which is now rated as ‘good’ by OFSTED, is being expanded to two full forms of entry from provide more places September 2014. It has also been refurbished to provide additional facilities for children with special educational needs, as well as a new entrance area and reception class toilets.

  • PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update
    LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY Action Plan Update March 2019 LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES PLAYING PITCH STRATEGY – Action Plan Update Purpose of this document This document relates to, and should be read in conjunction with, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Playing Pitch Strategy (PPS), which was developed for the Council by Knight, Kavanagh & Page (KKP) and published in March 2018. Monitoring and updating the PPS forms an important part of the planning process, with guidance from Sport England recommending that the actions identified within the Strategy are reviewed on an annual basis. In light of this, the Council participated in a ‘Stage E’ meeting in March 2019 with representatives of Sport England, Sport Richmond, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), England Hockey, the Football Association (FA), the Football Foundation, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), and the Rugby Football Union (RFU). The intention of this meeting was to monitor the delivery of the recommendations and action plan identified in the PPS, and to highlight emergent issues and opportunities. This meeting was not intended to review the overarching strategic recommendations identified within Part 5 of the PPS, which are considered to remain applicable and relevant. Guide to using this document The site by site action plans identified within ‘Part 6’ of the Playing Pitch Strategy have been replicated in the tables below, each of which covers one of the three study areas utilised in the original assessment study (Hampton & Teddington; Richmond; and Twickenham). For reference, these tables are identified on pages 45-51, 54-59, and 62-65 of the PPS, respectively.

  • Kneller Gardens – ‘Friendly Parks for All’ Consultation on the Challenges Faced by Blind Or Visually Impaired Park Users
    Official Kneller Gardens – ‘Friendly Parks for All’ consultation on the challenges faced by blind or visually impaired park users. Consultation feedback and project recommendations 1. Background As part of Richmond Council’s continued commitment to improving our parks and open spaces, the Parks Team carried out a consultation to understand how blind people or those with visual impairments and their families / carers currently use our parks. The Council were interested to hear from those that are blind or suffer from visual impairments and those that care for them, what they like about our parks, what barriers they face when visiting parks, and what would improve the quality of the experience of using our parks. Improvements such as clear signage, unobstructed pathways and multi-sensory displays will benefit all park visitors, but we are seeking to understand how these can be designed to include blind people or those with visual impairments. The consultation forms part of the Friendly Parks for All Project managed through Richmond Council’s Parks Department. The consultation was featured on the consultation portal on the Richmond Council website and took place between 13th January and 24th February 2020. Members of the Council Community Engagement team worked to promote the consultation, along with the Communications team who promoted the consultation through social media. Organisations working with blind and visually impaired residents were contacted directly. Achieving for Children VI team contacted families in the borough with blind and visually impaired pupils attending Richmond Schools 2. Summary of Results 13 people responded to this consultation. All took part online although there was the option to submit a written response.

  • Kew Green Fete
    FROM RICHMOND HISTORY, JOURNAL OF THE RICHMOND LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY 2015 Kew’s memorials for those who died in the First World War Remembering the Men of Kew MARIAN MOLLETT Just seven weeks after the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914 the October edition of the Kew Church magazine published a list of ‘the names of the young men who have gone from Kew to take their place in fighting for their King and Country’. There were 104. Of these, 19 would be killed and a further 10 had brothers who would die in the service of their King. By the end of the war, a total of 103 men from the parish would die. After the war a permanent memorial to the dead became a pressing concern, fulfilled in Kew with a number of memorials, each with a different purpose. Today these seem inevitable structures in our landscape and we might assume that they were built rapidly and without controversy. It was not so. This article explores the relationship between three of those memorials and the compromises their construction involved. Throughout the country the creation of such memorials was an enterprise of communities and individuals, with the initiators of the memorials making their own choices as to who should be commemorated and how this should be done. Both of the Kew Church of England parishes, St Anne’s in the north and St Luke’s in the south, recorded the names of the dead who had some link with its parish – usually, but not exclusively, a residential link – either recently or at some time in the past.
