macroban Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Today I first saw the maps in the Southwark Alliance 2007 Annual report. The maps are on the web-site, but not the annual report.East Dulwich (SE22) is carved up.North of the railway line and Grove Vale is now classified as South Camberwell. The East Dulwich Estate Community Centre is to become a "hub for South Camberwell". It's interesting that these self-nominating people who are deciding our strategic future don't even know where East Dulwich Station is.If you're in SE22 but not in the "South West Sector" you are now in South Peckham (off-map to the East).

Nero Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I agree, Macroban. Who are these people and why do they want to redraw boundaries? I'd like answers, so if the two journalists are looking at this, consider it as a story, please. I'm willing to be interviewed. It's nto that I am anti Camberwell, just anti-meddling, anti-waste and pro-status quo.

dc Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 It is coterminous with the Local Authority ward boundaries http://www.southwark.gov.uk/Uploads/FILE_33273.pdf and includes the wards of: Brunswick Park, Camberwell Green, South Camberwell, East Dulwich, Village and College.The original map itself was prouced by 'Graphics & Mapping' in the Regeneration Department of Southwark Council (see bottom right of map) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3098-where-is-east-dulwich-according-to-the-southwark-alliance/#findComment-96053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

macroban Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 They have placed the station at the end of Railway Rise - a reasonable guess. I don't think many trains leave the Home Build Centre.

dc Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Looks like they've put it where access to the platforms is rather than the more usual access to the station Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3098-where-is-east-dulwich-according-to-the-southwark-alliance/#findComment-96060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisiana Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 They have placed something called 'Dulwich' in the middle of the golf course, adjacent to Sydenham Hill Woods. Of course that ward is called 'College', not Dulwich. But I suppose a place called 'College' might seem a little odd.And North Dulwich station is in Camberwell. Which stretches almost down to Village Way.And the church on the Green is in Peckham. As are a number of East Dulwich facilities.While political boundaries may be all very well for...politics, they bear little relation to community, development and planning issues.

sazzle Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 My road which is about 5 years old isn't event on there!! What date was it completed?

Peckham native Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Thanks for all the comments about the Southwark Alliance map! I am one half of the graphics & mapping team but I'm afraid I can't remember if I or my co-worker produced this particular map as it is about 5 years old. I also can't take all the credit for the placing or misplacing of stations and names as the map data is taken from the Ordnance Survey data.I can confirm that the Southwark Alliance areas are based on the Community Councils which are in turn groupings of wards.

macroban Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 OK, blame it on Southampton getting the station wrong, but it's not the artists' fault that The Alliance is using a five year old out-of-date map. Really inspires confidence, in The Alliance, don't it?

Mrs Y Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I wonder if this will affect the catchment areas for the new harris academy? Why the need for the boundary changes?Mrs Y Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3098-where-is-east-dulwich-according-to-the-southwark-alliance/#findComment-96176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I don't think it will have an impact on the Harris Academy. The Harris Federation appears to use 'straight line distance from the school' rather than having a designated catchment area.Boundary changes? The ward boundaries are changed to ensure there are roughly the same number of electors in each ward. That's why you can end up with funny quirks like the boundary on the eastern side near Dunstans Road, Goodrich Road and Hillcourt Road (it looks a bit like 'The Wash') which looks like a case of lumping a few extra properties in to make up the numbers.The last review was completed in 1999: http://www.boundarycommittee.org.uk/files/dms/london-southwark_6157-5761__E__.pdfThese boundaries are also used for other things like the Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams which are ward based: http://www.met.police.uk/saferneighbourhoods/boroughs/southwark/saferneighbourhoods.htmOh and, apparently, the Southwark Alliance.
