A rough and ready conversion HTML->PDF (using free CutePDF Writer ... hint, hint) attached which makes it a bit easier to read.


Also attached is the attachment mentioned in it, Empty Commercial Premises Advice. It was 709 kB when received. I've reprinted it and it came down to 157 kB. I trust it's otherwise unchanged.

Good afternoon


Please find below today?s Covid19 briefing note from BCU Commander C/Supt Colin Wingrove. Also attached are 3 documents; the first two relate to advice for business owners and the third is a letter around possible Covid19 scams.


This weekend will see extra officers on patrol across Southwark to engage with the public and enforce the lockdown where appropriate. We will be focusing on parks and open spaces as we?ve had a number of reports of anti-social behaviour and gatherings in these areas. We?re also working closely with the local authority to identify and close any businesses that should not be open.


Thank you for your continued support and be safe.

Subject: COVID19 Briefing Note - 29/03/2020 - NB Briefing note for 29 March deleted as released by mistake (see below 30th March)


Good morning


Please find today?s briefing note from BCU Commander C/Supt Colin Wingrove. No briefing note was issued over the weekend.


We have had some messages about police officers being seen not to observe social distancing while on patrol. While police will try their best to observe this, the reality is that the way in which we deploy (in minibuses) and the calls to which we deploy (large groups causing issues; violent incidents) means this is not always possible. I have reminded local teams to observe this where able to but please do not be alarmed if you see groups of police officers together. We will always observe social distancing when talking to members of the public unless we are required to get closer (for example for a search or arrest).



Regards

Owen

Dear all, please accept my apologies ? the incorrect briefing note was circulated this morning. I?m also advised the formatting of the earlier email went wrong for some reason!

Dear all,


Please find attached the most recent COVID19 briefing note from BCU Commander C/Supt Colin Wingrove. I was advised that the last one formatted so it was all underlined. I?ve tried to ensure that doesn?t happen this time ? apologies if it happens again.


Please note that going forward there may not be a briefing note every day. However when there are updates they will be compiled into a briefing note and sent out to you.



Kind regards


Owen

Good afternoon


Please find today?s briefing note from BCU Commander C/Supt Colin Wingrove.


This weekend we have extra deployments across the borough to ensure people comply with the lockdown. They will be paying particular attention to parks and open spaces to ensure no groups gather and people are only out for the essential purposes as directed by the government.


The Met now has an online reporting system for COVID lockdown breaches: https://www.met.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/c19/tell-us-about-possible-breach-coronavirus-measures/. Please note that the government has not prohibited construction or building work continuing so we will not attend to deal with reports of this as we have no powers.


Lastly I am advised some of the messaging is still coming through underlined ? I don?t know why as it doesn?t show on my end but apparently some of you have received it in this format. I?ve attached a PDF copy which you can refer to if there are any formatting issues.

Police patrolling dulwich Park yesterday, I spoke to them about how they are applying the rules.


In Southwark, police are allowing ONE form of exercise in public places. So if you cycle to the park that's your exercise and you can't then kick a ball around (as I was doing with my son). The officer said this discourages larger gatherings or organised meetings of people who don't live together, as was happening on another football pitch.


The policeman was very polite but they are monitoring activity and will close the parks if people don't comply.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
