I will look at what I have at home, but if anyone is looking for the original 2011/2012 consultation and meeting documents about burial strategy in Southwark and how we've ended up where we have - a lot of it is still online (just not easy to find). The ones I am aware of (and people should feel free to add stuff I've missed) are:


The April 2012 Southwark Council Cemeteries Strategy is here: http://www.southwark.gov.uk/downloads/download/3046/cemetery_strategies


The results of the 2011 consultation and the Southwark Council meeting that considered it are here - I would look at Apps A (which is the same doc as above), D which is the consultation report, G and particularly F which is about some specific discussion with residents on Ryedale and Forest Hill Road: http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgAi.aspx?ID=21262#mgDocuments


There were also some specific materials about the Phase 1 works on WoodVale/Langton Rise, which I'll look for at home.

For those that asked, here are the other Phase 1 docs that I had at home in hard copy (sorry, has to be in two separate posts due to the size of the scans). One question I had looking at this again is whether the "80 new trees" that were going to be planted as part of the Phase 1 works have been planted, and if so where? I wonder if they actually mean 80 new trees and shrubs?

Thanks for posting this Siduhe, i'll have a read soon...


I think it's important to scrutinise all the council documents as the devil is in the detail, for example the original feasibility study the council had done on this recommended around 300 burial plots in the wooded area. This has now risen to around 1000 in their current proposals.


Personally thats quite a hike and i'm keen to find out where this rise has come from...

Hi Renata. Thank you for your interest in the meeting. I first announced the meeting on this thread on January 13, but it is too late now to move the date.

I've also posted the text of the petition under a new thread on the forum.

      Noise from Lime bike overnight servicing

      By Johnny Dulwich · Posted

      I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

      The SDCAS Crowdfund campaign is now live: Help Save Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers! "I’m proud to be an advice volunteer at Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS), a community that welcomes and supports refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Southwark. Right now, we’re facing the toughest moment in our nearly 30-year history.

That’s why I’m asking you to support our emergency Crowdfunder: 👉https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-sdcas  Even a small donation, or sharing this with your friends and family, will make a huge difference in helping us to reach our £70,000 goal and keep SDCAS open. This place means so much to me, and to everyone who walks through our doors 💛.Thank you for your support in spreading the word.  ... Be sure to tag us @SouthwarkAsylum on Facebook and @sdcascommunity on Instagram We really value your support, £70K is an ambitious goal but we know our dedicated supporters can get us over the line! Our sincere thanks in advance from all of us at SDCAS. Best wishes Judith Arkwright"

      Planning application - new Underhill Rd residential development

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
