RE: Tabard Gardens Traffic Management Order

Dear Mr Davis,

I would like to provide you with an update regarding the proposed Traffic Management Order to be implemented in Tabard Gardens. As you are aware we consulted on this with residents some time ago and the proposal was approved at Community Council around December 2014.

I can confirm the following steps that need to be completed;

· A survey of the estate still needs to be conducted to define the parking bays, boundaries and also location of signage to be installed. This has been scheduled for Thursday 26th March 2015 to be attended by the Estate Parking Manager and the Resident Services Officer.

· A report will then be submitted to officers within the Council for them to produce a Traffic Management Order that reflects how the service will operate within the agreed areas. It is especially important that this part of the process is correct and fit-for-purpose.

· A public notice will then be sent out to notify all residents of the Council’s intentions.

· Should we encounter no resident opposition then this process should now take no longer than 42 days. However should we encounter any significant challenge from the public notice, then the implementation will be delayed while this is worked through.

This process involves work and co-ordination across several teams and divisions within various disciplines, and so I will be doing what I can to ensure no further delays within the Council and within this process.

I am sorry that this is taking longer than was originally anticipated, but as you can see we have a clearly defined series of steps in place, and I will ensure that as we complete each stage you are all notified of progress.

Have a good weekend.

Kind Regards

Russell Edwards

Southwark EnviroGrant – deadline 30th April

The Southwark EnviroGrant scheme has now reopened for its fifth year.

Established by Veolia – recycling and waste partners of Southwark Council – the scheme has been designed to support projects that enrich the local environment.

Community organisations, resident groups and schools in Southwark can apply for up to £1,000 to put towards their project along with the voluntary assistance of Veolia employees who can be on hand to build, clean, paint or plant as needed.

So far the Southwark EnviroGrant scheme has helped over 20 community projects in the borough and awarded over £13,000 to enable these schemes to happen. In 2015 we are particularly looking for applications with a strong ‘3R’s’ theme – for example events and projects that:

Reduce the amount of waste produced, such as cooking demos to encourage use of leftovers or community composting schemes

Reuse more of the things we throw away, such as ‘Give or Take’ days Swap Shops; Swishing or community garden makeovers that reuse materials for containers or furnishings
Recycle and reuse more materials – such as community clear out days or neighbourhood recycling champion schemes
Organisations or groups can apply for EnviroGrant funding by downloading an application online. The deadline for entries is 30 April 2015; for more information please visit:

Transporting readers from well-known landmarks to history-making hidden corners, David Rosenberg tells the story of protest and struggle in London from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

The Tower of London is one of the world’s most famous fortresses and has seen service as royal palace, prison, armoury and even a zoo. The ancient stones hold within them dark secrets, as fortified vaults shine with priceless jewels and historic uniformed Beefeaters stroll the grounds. Situated in Central London, just a stone’s throw from the River Thames, the Tower of London is one of the city’s premier attractions.

FREE tickets can only be booked in person at the Annual General Meeting on 17th March in Tabard Community Hall.
