They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some photos taken on July 7 & 8, 2013, of the Community Orchard which Southwark plans to sweep away. Southwark proceeded through a biased consultation which asked people what kind of library they wanted, but not where it should be sited. The Orchard's destruction was taken for granted. Quote Friend's of Brockwell Park

Come and see for yourself: Thursday at 3pm for a photo shoot with Rosie Boycott, Boris Johnson's Food Ambassador, and Jenny Jones, Green Party AM, who will visit the orchard to support local residents' struggle to save it from destruction

Thankyou for letting us know.


The massive benefit to children of being outdoors, finding out & participating in food growing, and teachers linking it to the rest of their education,

features here in this 6 minute film, http://www.guardian.co.uk/teacher-network/video/2013/jul/16/school-farm-outdoor-learning-phoenix-high-video, hope this might add to your stock of campaigning material.

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
