Hello everyone - I am sharing responses below from Chris Horn, developer, to questions raised at our recent meeting to discuss the redevelopment of this site. First of all I can confirm that each of the three properties is detached and is two storeys high and that none has car parking provided as part of the scheme. Our expectation in common with standard practice at the Royal Borough of Greenwich is that future residents at the three address points will also be permanently excluded from joining any local CPZ’s. There was an interesting discussion about whether the site should be gated. My recollection is that there was some ambivalence over this in previous discussions with the council. However, I took away from the meeting a unanimous preference amongst local residents that there should be a gate and our application will now specify this. There were a number of questions relating to potential impacts on flora and fauna. Our assessments have found no animals living or nesting on the s...

Hello everyone - sharing the below on behalf of Mick Delap: This is an  appropriate title for Remembrance Day, and a sad reminder that it's impossible to think of peace without thinking of war. An amazing line-up of poets , including local ATA poet Mick Delap,  and West Greenwich resident Lorraine Mariner,  will be reading their own work,  but also key poems about conflict by a wide range of other poets.  There  will be live music, with interludes on harp by the fabulous Lucia Foti .   Admission free.  Interval refreshments.  The poets are the core group of the local Nevada Street Writers , founded by Mick Delap in the eponymous street down by Greenwich Theatre in 2009. They are still going strong!  You will hear the different voices of Mick Delap, Malene Engelund, Lorraine Mariner, and Jocelyn Page,  reading their own choices, as well as what  other members of the Nevada Street group who cannot be present on the night...
