Thames Path: Improving accessibility, safety, and community engagement

-

As part of a Royal Borough of Greenwich scrutiny review of the Thames Path, Councillors Pat Slattery and Aidan Smith are hosting a series of Walk & Talks throughout March to explore key sections of the path, hear from local stakeholders, and discuss ways to improve accessibility, safety, and community engagement. They have asked whether any Ashburnham Triangle residents would like to share insights on how the path is used, potential enhancements, and how we can ensure it remains a valued space for all. All walks start at 10am.

Walk & Talk Schedule:

  • Saturday 1st March – Deptford Creek → North Greenwich (O2) (~3 miles)
    • Meeting point: Peter the Great statue, 33 Glaisher St, London SE8 3ER (Deptford Creek)
  • Saturday 8th March – North Greenwich → Thames Barrier (~3 miles)
  • Saturday 15th March – Thames Barrier → Woolwich Arsenal (~3 miles)
  • Saturday 22nd March – Woolwich Arsenal → Thamesmead (~3 miles)

Each session will provide an opportunity to discuss:

  • Accessibility & safety along the path
  • Environmental and infrastructure improvements
  • Community involvement and economic impact

If interested, please contact ATA Chair Peter Ferenz (petermferenz@gmail.com) by noon on Friday, 28 February. The few spots available will be granted on a first come/first served basis.

If you cannot attend but would still like to contribute, a survey will be sent out by the Council around the end of February where residents can also give feedback.

Greenwich Market update

-
Here’s an update on the market rent increases from Royal Greenwich council leader Danny Thorpe: ‘Following concerns from Greenwich market traders about rent increases, I chaired a public meeting this week, alongside Cllr Denise Scott-McDonald and Cllr Aidan Smith with traders and representatives from Greenwich Hospital, the owners of the market.   ‘I am delighted that Greenwich Hospital has recognised the rent increase was a mistake and they have confirmed affected traders will receive a full refund. At the meeting, we had a constructive conversation about a range of issues and I’m hopeful we have found a way to ensure everyone is working to make Greenwich market thrive moving forward.’
