Your Community Council
The next meeting on Monday 13 November will be looking at Regeneration topics, which are relevant to Peckham and Nunhead... With an overview on the New Southwark Plan and the Old Kent Road Action Plan from Cllr Mark Willams, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, and additional workshops to look at specific issues in more depth, there should be something of interest for everyone. You will also be able to take part in Southwark Conversations, which
All October
we have been encouraging everyone to
pull on their autumn boots, wellies or trainers and rate their everyday walks using our nifty online tool to
help us celebrate International Walk to School Month.
Millions of children, parents, carers and teachers across the globe have
been taking part. Now let's wrap up the month in style!
Even
if you're not walking to school, you can help us by rating another
everyday walk - to work, the shops of just for leisure.
Rating your
walk will make it even more fun and may even make you see your local streets
differently. We’ll also give you a walkability score and some tips for what you
can do to improve your streets.

Sugarlane Sounds, is an A/V creative agency, online radio
station and sounds system operating out of the UK and Jamaica. The objective
will be to create a sustainable studio environment that will engage many of our
young talented artist to create audio and visual art despite environment,
background or circumstance, as well as giving a professional working
environment for working artist and musicians. This will be held at Peckham
Levels which will be one of Southwark’s Landmark creative spaces, a 7 level
multi-story complex hosting some of south London’s most exciting artist and
independent businesses, hosting an array of food, drinks, workshops and
entertainment creating a rich, unique environment for young creatives.
we plan to set up several
music and art based programmes, which will reach out to the local schools,
colleges, universities, youth groups, programmes, artist and influencers so
that there is direct contact and access with all the hard to reach young
talented people around the borough. There will be opportunities available for
individuals who want to learn graphic design, music technology, film,
photography and DJ’ing but also the opportunity to express themselves and turn
positive and negative energy into art utilising the studio & editing suite.
Working alongside PEMPEOPLE who have helped lots of young people in the borough
to host their projects at their pop up shop in Peckham are also Tate Partners,
which grants them access to the 5th floor of the Tate for
several days every year to showcase art produced by the youth, creating a path
from the community to a platform normally out of reach.
Receiving
funding for this studio will ensure that it is fully equipped with the needed
studio gear and personnel to execute our audio & visual art projects most
efficiently and allow the community access to the space. In turn we would be
alleviating youths from the streets, creating a safer neighbourhood atmosphere,
giving young creatives an environment suitable for nurturing their talents and
ideas, giving them a new sense of purpose.

Informal consultation notification: New
Southwark Plan: Proposed Submission Version
Southwark Council is preparing a new borough-wide
development plan called the New Southwark Plan.
The New Southwark Plan sets out how the Council will deliver further
regeneration and wider improvements for the borough in the years to come.
Planning decisions must be made in accordance with the development plan, unless
other material considerations indicate otherwise.
The proposed final version of the plan is
now available to view on the Council’s website. This is the version the
Council intends to adopt. The Plan will first be taken to the Council’s Cabinet
on Tuesday 31 October 2017. The Plan will then be taken to full Council
Assembly on 29 November 2017.
Subject to the approval of Council Assembly the
Council will begin formal consultation on the New Southwark Plan from 1
December 2017 to 12 January 2018. Following the consultation the Plan will be
submitted to Government for an independent examination where an inspector will
consider any comments submitted to the Council during the consultation period.
We will write to you again when the formal
consultation period begins setting out how to comment on the Plan. In the
meantime you can view the Cabinet Report and supporting documents, including
the New Southwark Plan, on the Council’s
website here.
You can find out more information about the
consultation here.
