None more local

By brockleynick on | From brockleycentral.blogspot.com
Vanessa: He has a five year plan.  Sonny: What is it? "Don't die"? - Big Daddy We're indebted to Transpontine, who points out that today is Brockley Central's fifth anniversary. Our first article, about plans for Brockley Common, was written on Valentine's Day 2007, suggesting the longevity of our marriage is more of a miracle than the ongoing existence of this site. Transpontine writes: As a near neighbour I certainly didn't used to have such a sense of it being a distinct place - I am...Read Full Story

Scales tip in Brockley's favour

By brockleynick on | From brockleycentral.blogspot.com
There are 275,000 professional accountants in the UK , making it one of the country's biggest industries. Lewisham Council wants to attract more small professional services firms to the borough, as a way to create more local private sector employment. So what more positive indicator could there be for Brockley than the lights being turned on in Libra Associates Accountants and Tax Consultants in Brockley Cross? The business has been dormant since before Brockley Central was born and we...Read Full Story

The Safer Lewisham Partnership Crime Survey

By brockleynick on | From brockleycentral.blogspot.com
Mr. Burns: Well, if it's a crime to love one's country, then I'm guilty. And if it's a crime to steal a trillion dollars from our government and hand it over to communist Cuba, then I'm guilty of that too. And if it's a crime to bribe a jury, then so help me, I'll soon be guilty of that!  - The Simpsons Lewisham Council says: The Safer Lewisham Partnership has launched a consultation and wants local people to give their views and experiences of crime and anti-social behaviour in Lewisham. The...Read Full Story

Deptford - like a big bear

By brockleynick on | From brockleycentral.blogspot.com
Jon Favreau plays Deptford in 1996 classic Swingers Deptford optimists claim that the place is up-and-coming – that its potential as a creative cluster to rival Hoxton and the influx of some much-needed public investment will eventually yield results. Deptford pessimists argue that they’ve heard that story for ten years and its time will never come. They're both wrong. Deptford’s time is now. Murals on every other wall. Galleries and workshops in every other industrial unit. Giant...Read Full Story

Olympic Lewisham

By brockleynick on | From brockleycentral.blogspot.com
The Olympics will come and go without leaving much of a mark on the borough of Lewisham. Nonetheless, our city will not host the biggest thing in the world ever without us snaffling up a few crumbs from the table of Greenwich and all the other Olympic boroughs. It will also require us to employ all kinds of ingenious solutions if we want to get to work on time during the Games. So from now until the end of the Paralympics, we'll be trying to report any Olympic stories with implications for...Read Full Story

Random borough
Random borough (32): Time for me to take yet another random trip to one of London's 33 boroughs. As I write I have no idea which one of the two remaining borough names will be revealed when I unfold the slip of paper I'm about to pick from my nearly-empty "special jamjar". I just know it won't be Merton, Islington, Enfield, Sutton, Lewisham, Southwark, Kensington & Chelsea, Hackney, Hillingdon, the City, Bromley, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets...

Lewisham Fuel Poverty Protest Report
I posted earlier this week on the issue of fuel poverty, noting that around 100 people die each year in the borough of Lewisham from cold-related causes. The latest available Government figures, as discussed in Parliament in November 2011, show that in 2008 an estimated 83,000 households in South East London were unable to afford to keep themselves warm in cold periods. With rising fuel prices and decreasing incomes, the position has no doubt...
