Call for input! London Lines - festival of neighbourhood at Southbank this weekend


Recommended Posts

Though I live in Peckham I'm representing the London Borough of Westminster in this weekend's London Lines event at the Southank.

I've worked in Wesminster for 9 years so have lots of memories and associations with Whitehall and places nearby.


My task is to record memories, thoughts and associations people have of Westminster and all it's districts - Soho, Covent Garden, Victoria, Mayfair, Fitzrovia etc) and then use them to create a poem which will then become part of a giant poetry map of London in the Clore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall.


If you have anything to share please contact me either on DM here, by leaving a comment or by tweeting me @msamykey


I'd love to hear your thoughts so I can help put them on the poetry map.


Many thanks

Amy

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
