Peckham and Nunhead

February 2017

Your community council

How was it for you? The new format community council launched last Saturday, at The Green, Nunhead.... and certainly went with a bang! It was really well attended, such that it was a bit challenging on space, and the lovely vegan food ran out. Apologies if you didn't get any. The workshop discussions were very well received, and groups were able to network with each other for mutual benefit. Its great to see that so much is going on in Peckham and Nunhead, and hats off to all the lovely people who are working for the benefit of the community. We really enjoyed the Nunhead community choir performance, and hopefully they have attracted several new members. Singing is such a therapeutic activity and really uplifting if you are feeling a bit below par. The Health and Wellbeing exhibition was also very popular, and we have had some good feedback, although it was a shame that we had to move some of the exhibitors to accommodate a workshop - victims of our own success in terms of numbers.

For those who were unable to attend, the new format is that we still have five meetings per cycle, but only two of these will include the executive function, and formal business, such as funding decisions etc. If there are transport and parking changes, these can be discussed at the other meetings, but the decisions will be made by the Cabinet Member in consultation with your ward Councillors, so your views can still be taken on board. The new arrangement will allow us to have more time for proper discussion and question time, and will be much less formal. This will allow greater networking opportunities and a chance to get to know your Councillors better.

The next Peckham and Nunhead meeting is scheduled for Monday 20 March, so put that in your diary.
