It's been 15 years since Lewisham Borough had a cinema, but now two have started up within easy reach of the Triangle: Deptford Cinema on Deptford Broadway is a five-minute walk away, and the Curzon at Goldsmiths College about a half an hour. Deptford Cinema is a not-for-profit community society run by volunteer film enthusiasts, showing arthouse films at £5 a ticket in an ex-shop, and aiming to be a hub for all things film, with a gallery, bar, and dark rooms available for anyone to use when the premises are fully fitted out. The 40-seat cinema is showing films now. Setting it up has involved volunteers in a tremendous amount of non-film work, physical and otherwise (on premises, finances, compliance, etc). They are at present in an existential fight over rates and need all the advice they can get from anyone au fait with law or accounting. They have an open EGM on this issue this Sunday 20th March at 4pm at 39 Deptford Broadway, SE8 4PQ, if anyone woul...

A  new community cinema is starting up near Deptford Bridge. Deptford Cinema is fuelling our nightmares by running Full Moon Film Night  on the  last Friday of every month  - so mark your calendars with blood or something similarly permanent.  This month they are showing the 2015 arthouse horror  It Follows! "F or 19-year-­old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends at the lake.

Maureen Romeril, February 25th The Ministry of Justice has confirmed that it will close 64 courts within the next two years including Greenwich Magistrate Court on Blackheath Road.  The Court was built in 1909 and is a Grade II listed building situated in a reasonably large site in the Ashburnham Conservation area. It will be interesting to see what happens to this site. The Grade II listing will restrict major redevelopment of the building.

Maureen Romeril, February 25th Many properties in the Ashburnham Conservation Area are subject to additional planning control as a result of an Article 4 Direction being placed. These controls are in addition to Conservation Area controls. The current Article 4 Direction was introduced May 2014 and removed permitted development rights so that planning permission is required for certain works which would otherwise not require permission.  The council has now drafted a new guidance note to the Direction, which identifies  the properties covered by the Article 4 Direction and sets out the specific planning controls under the Direction. The document also explains the types of works that will be likely or unlikely to gain planning permission.  The Council is seeking comments  on this new guide.  The consultation ends on   Monday 14 March 2016 . Copies of the draft guide can be found on the Council's website via the link below. The Planning Hub will ...
