Probably a prudent decision. The SSW internet footprint suggests this is an organisation of two people. Could be wrong. Perhaps Ms Cameron could explain the SSW structure. John K -

So, which people comprise SSW? Is it a secret? Who holds the funds? Was Ms Cameron in the area in 2011-2012? John K -

Appendix A Topographical Survey Of the bsp Consulting [sic] Area Z Camberwell Old Cemetery Drainage Strategy For Southwark Council 30 June 2015 Has a 0.5m resolution contour survey of the cemetery. It's easy to see the drainage run-off pattern. You could do a 3D landscape model like we used to do in primary school. It might help SSW people understand the topography. The right hand panels have the tree survey schedule which does not agree with the uncompleted SSW tree count. The schedule also has tree measurements. John K -
Rye Lane Post office in Peckham is facing closure - ACT NOW

It may be some time ago when I had work-related bulk transactions running through Rye Lane BO, but.. I'm pretty sure this was then a Crown building. Has anyone checked with the Land Registry for a recent transfer? John K -

I would like to repeat my request for a plan (or tabulation) of the cemetery blocks that are said to have been consecrated in 1913. The cemetery blocks as laid out seem to be rectangular, except on the perimeter. This seems to be in conflict with the "overlay" lines. Where, exactly is this consecrated area? John K -

Just in case I don't get an answer again. On the SWS home page he is listed as a "Leader from Public" life. Just above Zac Goldsmith. John K -

Mr Barber has previously explained that he has changed his day time job and needs some settling in time. That's good enough for me. John K
