The first stage is for an assessment of speeds that are done on a road/area. There are alternatives to speed cushions. In Ivydale Rd and Linden Grove in Nunhead pinch points have been installed to slow down traffic. One problem of these is the loss of several parking spaces with each pinchpoint.

I shall raise this issue with the Traffic Group within Southwark Council. Renata Renata Hamvas Labour Councillor, Peckham Rye Ward [email protected]

May, I introduce myself, I'm Councillor Renata Hamvas one of the newly elected councillors in Peckham Rye Ward. Vikki Mills, Gavin Edwards and I were all elected last week in the local elections. I have lived in the area almost 12 years and am involved in several local community groups. The figure that Vikki gives above for Peckham Rye children being unsuccessful in securing a place at one of the schools of their choice is correct, at 17. The breakdown of allocations is Hollydale (Nunhead) 6 Camelot 2 Rye Oak 8 Peckham Park 1 Hollydale and Camelot both have been rated as good schools by Ofsted. Rye Oak has recently been Ofsted inspected and this report will be published soon, it is an improving school with an excellent children's centre. Peckham Park has a new head teacher. It is likely that as the shake down of primary school allocations occur in the next few weeks in both Southwark and Lewisham, (particularly as some parents are currently holding places in both boroughs)that many of the 17 families will be offered a place at one of their prefered schools. If you need my assistance in this matter please pm me. I would suggest that you go and visit the school you have been allocated. If you 3-4 year old has a younger sibling, Hollydale does not have a nursery class but there is an excellent pre-school, St. Mary's, 3 minutes walk away on St Mary's Rd. This takes children from aged 2.5. Renata
