Fiona Colley for Regeneration and Corporate Strategy and Cllr. Barrie Hargrove for Transport, Environment and Recycling. 

Peckham Rye Station – deputation to Cabinet 22 October 2014

From Peckham Vision Facebook: The Cabinet heard the deputation from Bar Story & Sassoon Gallery, The Sunday Painter, Peckham Refreshment Rooms and Peckham Vision. There were a number of detailed points put to them about discrepancies in the Council documents and what the Council says about the scale and nature of the station site developments. The Council reaffirmed its aim was to focus on the creation of the station square and access to the back of the station, and said that nothing has been decided yet about what happens behind the station. 

Station Gateway 22 October 4pm deputation to Council Cabinet

From Peckham Vision Facebook:      STOP PRESS: 4pm TODAY 22 October at 160 Tooley St – If you are free, come & support the deputation to Southwark Council Cabinet of the small creative enterprises from Blenheim Grove on the latest news about the Station Gateway project. Please pass this info on to your friendly Peckham supporting contacts.  We have uncovered (via FOI information) that the preferred option Network Rail & the Council will consult on in Dec and Jan, and prepare for Planning application in Feb, looks as if it would require a complete clear out of all businesses from Rye Lane and Dovedale Court at the back, and possibly Blenheim Grove and Holly Grove. This is in spite of reassurances to the contrary at the last deputation.

Bellenden Road Nature Garden

As local residents, you may be aware of the Bellenden Road Nature Garden, situated opposite Highshore School, at the Lidl end of Bellenden Road.  Recently, the garden has been neglected of the love and attention it needs to live up to its huge potential as both a garden for wildlife and space for community engagement.

London Wildlife Trust need new volunteers who are interested in becoming involved in regular work days at the site.  If you are interested in becoming a volunteer at Bellenden Road Nature Garden, please contact Hannah Van Hesteren email: hvanhesteren@wildlondon.org.uk or call (Mon-Tues) on 0207 252 9186 .
