Ashburnham Triangle Association

The Ashburnham Triangle History Group (so far that's mainly Tom Webb and Mick Delap) have made the work of Triangle historians Diana Rimel and Richard Cheffins available on the Triangle web site. Now they want to recruit other interested Triangle residents to develop this core material into a series of Triangle stories - more web friendly, AND with new input from Triangle residents. They have chosen three possible projects. Now they want to meet with budding - or active - Triangle historians - on T hursday, 4th October, at 7.30 in the Ashburnham Arms  - to discuss which of these projects to focus on. The three Triangle projects are: A. Who has lived in my house (or neighbourhood) since it was built?  With specialist help from experienced local historians about sources etc).

ActionFraud have reported an increase in reports about fake Netflix emails. The emails claim there’s an issue with your account, or that your account has been suspended and that you need to “update” your account details in order to resolve the problem. The link in the emails leads to genuine-looking Netflix phishing websites designed to steal your username and password, as well as payment details. Always question unsolicited requests for your personal or financial information in case it’s a scam. Never automatically click on a link in an unexpected email or text.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich wants to reduce motor vehicle traffic through Greenwich town centre to reduce air pollution and make the streets safer for walking and cycling. The council will monitor traffic and air quality to see what impact Car Free Day has in the area.  Council staff will be on hand to listen to your views so you can help shape their plans. How it works King William Walk and College Approach will be closed to motor vehicles from 6am until 11.30pm. The event will run from 12noon until 6pm.

Following two previous public consultations and no doubt various meetings with the Local Authority the owners of The Magistrates Court London Hotel Group appear to have dropped their previous architects and communications team and started afresh with a new design team. As such they are inviting local residents to two public exhibitions and presentations with question and answer opportunities to review their designs. The exhibitions are taking place on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th September and will take place in the waiting area at The Magistrates Court as before – further information can be found clicking here . This is a completely separate matter to the current Planning Application that has been submitted by the DoubleTree Hotel on Catherine Grove. Any separate feedback you might have can be directed to our Planning Rep Simon Barrs at si_barrs@hotmail.com which will help form a response on behalf of the Ashburnham Triangle Association.
