Further to an award from the Bermondsey Square Community Fund, the Friends of Southwark Park will be running a free screening of three South-East London films at the Shortwave Cinema 10 Bermondsey Square, London SE1 3UN on Thursday 21st May from 2pm-5pm

The programme includes:

‘Wellbeloved’ (2014) directed by Stewart Morgan. The reputation of the steak pie has become diminished. It is time to rediscover the essential ingredients of this staple of traditional British cuisine. It is time to go to Deptford, South-East London.

‘It’s Our Park’ (2014) directed by Stewart Morgan for The Friends of Southwark Park to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Southwark Park Act 1864. Filmed largely in the park during last summer, it also contains some recently discovered footage of the old lido and other historic images.

‘We Was All One’ (1972) directed by Ken Ashton for Thames TV, which looks at the environment and lives of south Londoners some 40 years ago. Of special interest are vivid scenes of Bermondsey, including the community enjoying themselves in the Hand and Marigold pub, nearby Bermondsey Square. The documentary won the prestigious Prix D’Italia and was produced by Jeremy Isaacs. We hope cameraman Mike Doods will be joining us for the afternoon.

Shortwave Cinema seats about 50 people so please contact ourpark@live.co.uk to reserve a seat.

I am very aware of the continued delays to the implementation of the scheme.

This is an issue with all proposed Housing Estate schemes at present, and as I have such a scheme on my patch I have become involved in trying to identify the blockages within the process and to remedy the situation. I have many enquiries regarding this and so I do wish to get it resolved as soon as I can.

To this end I have met with all involved teams and identified where the problems are that have caused the delay in the creation of the Traffic Management Order and the statutory consultation. The scheme has had approval from Community Council.

I am just about to finalise the process and delegate various responsibilities. I plan to pass the proposed schemes that are on hold to the Public Realm Projects Team next week. They will create the Traffic Order and put out for consultation. After that happens colleagues in Estate Parking Enforcement will arrange for lineage and street furniture to be fitted and the scheme will go live.

My estimate therefore for completion of the process will be approximately 10 weeks from when I pass the work, and the majority of this is to do with the consultation period. If we get any objections we will need to go back to Community Council and start the process again – but I hope we don’t have that issue. I have ensured that the Tabard scheme is prioritised.

I am very sorry for the delays which have now been resolved and the process going forward is clarified and established.

Kind Regards
