On 25 January the Mayor and the Young Mayor visited St Saviours Church Hall to attend the official reopening of ‘Walk in Space’ the youth club for 8-14 year olds to which I act as Secretary. After a year of careful planning the club reopened in September as weekly youth club and now has nearly 70 young people on its books. The club has three paid workers but relies on a team of 16-18 year old volunteers for its core staffing.

The Lewisham News Shopper reports on Cllr Morrison's free employment advice service at Crofton Park Library.
Cllr Morrison and Karen Jonason held a meeting in the Library on Saturday 8 January, with groups and individuals who are interested in the future of the Library. A number of local groups and residents attended and had meaningful discussions about their interest.
Lewisham Council has invited bids from interested groups and they will examine their business case. It was clear that although a number of groups would like to operate out of the library they did not have the resources to take over and develop a building that is in a very poor state of repair. One interested person wants to make a bid for four out of the five libraries (see the link below), with a library service and computers being the core functions. He was keen to work with local groups and community. This gained a lot of interest from those present and a lot of conversations will be taking place before bids are submitted. We will have a follow up meeting at the library on 31 January when he will present his bid to everyone before the bid goes into to Lewisham Council to be scrutinised by the Council. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23909459-ex-city-mans-plan-for-eco-libraries.do Labour councillor for Crofton Park ward Jackie Addison was interviewed recently by the popular Brockley Central website and talked about the work she had done with local businesses and council officers to improve the popular shopping areas next to Crofton Park and Honor Oak Park stations.
She also referred to ways of building social cohesion in the ward and to improve public transport. Read the interview report on http://brockleycentral.blogspot.com/ and then click on 'Crofton Park Ward'. |
