GREEN CHAIN
GREEN CHAIN WALK
Dear Councillor Eckersley,
I am writing to you to provide an update on Southwark's bid to become a part of the South East London Green Chain.
It's been a long process but finally Southwark's proposal to extend the South East London Green Chain has now been formally accepted!
A formal invitation to Cllr Rajan will be extended in the coming weeks with a view to Southwark becoming a member borough from the 1st April 2008. The first stages will be to undertake a review of the feasibility study and establish where infrastructure is required in order to get the route functional. Following initial discussions with the Green Chain Project Officer it is hoped that the signage will be in place this summer. Amendments to the Green Chain marketing would then follow to incorporate the Southwark extension.
Thank you for your continued support throughout the last 4 years including the approval of the original CGS applications back in 2004 and the capital bid during 2007. By becoming a part of the Green Chain, many of Southwark's core objectives will be met while taking advantage of the cultural, educational, recreational and ecological benefits that the Green Chain has to offer.
For your information I have included a weblink for the South East London Green Chain Website which provides some useful information as to the purpose and aims of the Green Chain: www.greenchain.com
Kind regards,
John Cordner
