BRIXTON UNDERGROUND STATION LIFT INSTALLED SAY 18 MONTHS- STILL NOT OPERATIONAL- REPLY FROM TRANSPORT FOR LONDON

I have been asked to reply to the question that you raised at the State ofLondon debate about the lift at Brixton.I am sorry that you are still having to wait to use the lift. Metronet had to make a couple of last minute adjustments, one designed to help visually impaired customers and one to upgrade the emergency telephones. The final tests on the lift are now underway. It will then have to be tested and approved by Her Majesty's Railway Inspectorate.All being well, we expect the lift to go into service by the end of June.Do get back in touch if I can be of any further help.
Yours sincerely

Dear Ms Sibanda

Re: ref Cell Site No GLN3219

I am concerned about the plan to erect three panel antennas on 36 Southwell Road. There are at least eleven residents who are actively engaged in opposing this plan. Jim Dickson, Labour Councillor in Herne Hill Ward has been approached also.

This site is of historical and architectural interest, having apparently been built to house and paint theatrical backdrops by the impresario Fred Karno, who worked with Charlie Chaplin.

Loughborough Junction is an area which is undergoing a much needed process of regeneration. Erecting mobile phone antennas (there is at least one other within half a mile of this) appears to be a backward step.

Has group compensation been considered if residents incur a drop in their property value because of the antenna?

Please would you (a) issue me with a photograph or measurements which show clearly the size of the panels and (b) clarify the outcome of any meeting with residents.

Yours faithfully

Brockwell Park LOTTERY BID LATEST

Brockwell Park Heritage Lottery Fund Bid


The bright new future for Brockwell Park came one step closer recently. On 31st March 2006 Lambeth submitted a Stage 1 application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for funding to regenerate Brockwell Park. The following information may help you better understand the HLF process and how to obtain further information. There is also an opportunity to become involved in the process if the Stage 1 application is successful.

This Brockwell Park project is somewhat different to most schemes due to the park’s sheer size and scope for improvement works. Regenerating Brockwell Park & Brockwell Hall together would take more money than either Lambeth or the HLF could manage in one go. So we will have ONE Scheme in TWO Phases:
The current application addresses Phase One only, with some minor works to the hall surrounds as outlined in question 4. A subsequent Stage 1 application will be made to the HLF to address Phase 2 if the current submission is successful.

1. What is the timetable for the HLF’s decision?
The anticipated timetable for the application is six months, with a decision from the HLF expected in October 2006. This six-month period will be an interactive time when the HLF will evaluate the submission and come back to Lambeth with queries and questions.

2. What are the main aspects of the submitted proposal?
The Stage 1 proposal will bring the park and landscape elements back to a satisfactory standard, including significant works to the pathways, signage, site furniture, site buildings and boundary fences. Entrances will be improved along with substantial work to improve park drainage, relocate the paddling pool and install a new wetland pond. In addition, the proposal identifies the need to revamp areas of tree and shrub planting with selective removal of some plants and the replanting of many trees and shrubs throughout the park.

3. What elements of the proposal are yet to be resolved?
The submission acknowledges that some elements of the application need further discussion and attention before they are finalised. For example the location of the proposed new paddling pool and demand on the current sports changing block near the Lido need further research.

To quote directly from the Conservation Management Plan
“The Council have reserved the decision on the changing room block pending resolution of outstanding matters. A full assessment of the current, proposed and potential demand on the changing room block will be undertaken, with a view to providing the optimal solution for the park, the park users and community groups. An allocation for demolition has been included in the Stage 1 cost plan to cover the possibility of an outcome concerned with removal or relocation”.

These elements will be progressed further over the coming six months, with a view to having them resolved in time to act on a positive decision from the HLF.

4. How does the proposal address Brockwell Hall?
This application primarily deals with the landscape elements of the park, but, it does include some minor measures around the hall, works to the stable block and restoration of the Clock Tower.
It is envisaged that if the application for Phase 1 works is successful then Lambeth in conjunction with the Brockwell Park Management Advisory Committee (BPMAC) will develop a Phase 2 proposal to address the use and condition of Brockwell Hall and its surrounding buildings.

5. What is the total value of the proposal?
This application, which encompasses the major landscape elements of the park, has a forecast total project cost of £6m. Lambeth have committed £1.5m to this project and with £4.5m requested from the HLF there will be the budget to complete a significant amount of restoration work.

6. How do I obtain more information about the project?
The BPMAC have a website that is dedicated to Brockwell Park, http://www.brockwellpark.com/. From this website you can obtain a range of information from HLF proposal details to general historic information about the park. It is intended that relevant sections of the Conservation Management Plan (the main submission document) will be made available on this website in the near future. In addition to this website, relevant information will be made available on the Lambeth website at http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/.
Lambeth, together with BPMAC, are in the early phases of producing an informative leaflet that will communicate the HLF bid details to park users and the surrounding community members. It is envisaged that this will be ready for distribution at key summer events in the park.



The recent submission is the culmination of over 24 months commitment from Lambeth officers and key stakeholders, including Brockwell Park Management Advisory Committee and the many diverse user groups and interest parties. Lambeth would like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals and groups that have contributed time and energy to the submission of the Brockwell Park HLF Stage 1 application and we look forward to a positive decision from the HLF.

BIG INCREASE IN OFF PEAK TRAVEL FARES FROM HERNE HILL
ON FIRST CAPITAL CONNECT FORMERLY THAMES LINK.


New Bedford to Brighton rail provider First Capital Connect plans to ban cheap day return ticket holders from travelling home from London between 4.30 and 7pm and will result in massive fare rises listed below and lead to restricted use by off peak travellers. Some peak use commuters might be happy of course, but it seems outrageous to beforcing those who are most prices conscious off the rails. It is anticipates that the number of passengers travelling at peak times would be reduced by around 12 per cent. It is estimated that about 4,000 people will be affected daily The new restrictions will be introduced on June 11 to coincide with the introduction of the summer timetable. This would particularly affect parents taking children out for a day in London and visitors to the city who also wanted a trip to the capital This clearly affects all of us from Bedford to St Albans

London>> Bedford Cheap day return = £16.00 Full peak fare = £30.30
Flitwick Cheap day return = £14.10 Full peak fare = £25.30
Luton Cheap day return £11.30 Full peak fare = £20.80
Harpenden Cheap day return = £9.30 Full peak fare = £18.18 St Albans Cheap day return £7.90 Full peak fare = £14.50

HERNE HILL JUNCTION DELAYS AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION

SAFETY BARRIERS AT HERNE HILL STATION

Barriers have been installed in the foot tunnel over the weekend to stop cyclists
coming out at great speed hopefully they might even dismount. Thanks to Kate Newham , Lambeth's Community Safety Co-ordinator who arranged and paid for this
in partnership with South Eastern Trains... I think they are now called First Capital Connect.
