Community announcements and presentations
Minutes: The following announcements were made:
The chair announced Kim Hooper from Southwark’s media team was present and would be writing an article on community councils. People were told that Kim would be taking photos and if anyone objected they should indicate by show of hands. No one objected to the photo call.
Southwark’s Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
Barbara Ann Overwater from the planning policy team spoke about the community infrastructure levy which was about charging new developments in the borough so the money could be used for infrastructure.
This would replace the old system currently referred to as ‘S106 planning obligations’. From mid July 2012 Southwark’s “preliminary draft (CIL) schedule” would be calculated according to the amount of additional floor space a new development would produce. The chargeable rate for Southwark was currently £35 per square metre. The community infrastructure levy was not negotiable and would be applied like a tax.

Peace month event and peace wall installation
Emily Druiff from Peckham Space, part of Camberwell Arts addressed the meeting to highlight that they had received positive feedback about preserving the peace wall. They also received money from the cleaner greener safer funding programme. The group explained that they had been working with local designers to see if it was possible to make the peace wall permanent. The installation of the hoarding took place in July 2012 and the launch date for ‘peace month’ and the permanent art work on Peckham Square would be in August 2012.
Peckham Shed worked with groups of artists and designers to ensure the peace wall remained sustainable and the artwork did not fade. Emily said they would be looking for young people between the ages of 16 – 18 years that had an interest in art and design. They would like to get as many people as possible involved; flyers went out highlighting the launch date on 8 August 2012, time: 5.00pm until 7.00pm and to witness the unveiling of the wall.
During the discussion the following comments were made:

Future agenda items at forthcoming community council meetings

· Transport · Crime · Housing · Regeneration · Environment and recycling Also, · Ideas for venues Minutes: The chair highlighted this was a new community council area which had merged the following wards; Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Livesey, The Lane and Peckham. This would give people the opportunity to build new relations and discuss future topics for Peckham and Nunhead community council meetings set for the year.
At this juncture, the meeting went into workshops which were laid out each by ward. People were asked to prioritise their chosen topics for discussion at meetings and were asked for their views on whether meeting venues should be rotated around the community council area. |

Public question time
This is an opportunity for public questions to be addressed to the chair.
Residents or persons working in the borough may ask questions on any matter in relation to which the council has powers or duties.
Responses may be supplied in writing following the meeting. Supporting documents: Minutes: The following public questions were submitted:
Question 1: Peckham Rye resident: Around 32 garages in Brenchley Gardens had their electricity disconnected when new fillings were installed. EDF / Southwark would not pay for reconnection this appears to be a complete waste after £44,000 was spent doing the works.
Response: Councillors Mills and Hamvas agreed to take the matter up and come back to the community council with a response.
Question 2: Resident: Could the community council clarify whose idea it was to remove the railings along Peckham Hill Street?
Response: The chair explained that the council was not responsible for this. The policy regarding the removal of railings was pursued by the Mayor of London for at least two years, thinking it would make it safe for cyclists.
People highlighted the danger element of railings, citing the recent fatality of a cyclist who was involved in an accident with a larger vehicle. The chair suggested it could be helpful if a representative from Transport for London (TfL) could attend a community council meeting to give an explanation regarding the issue of the railings. Some residents present felt that a meeting with TfL would not solve the problem.
Councillor Hargrove explained that he was fully aware of the safety concerns related to the railings and that any requested information from TfL needed to be clearly outlined beforehand.
The community council agreed the following:
Question 3: Ron King referred to a previous question that was raised at Peckham community council on 24 March 2012 during an item on the Olympics. He stated that the former London Assembly Mayor sent out information to residents which indicated that Londoners would pay as part of their council tax payment, 38 pence per week from 2006/7 until 2016/2017.
He asked why council tax payers were charged this amount up 2017 (after the Olympics had taken place) and why couldn’t TfL cover the cost for infrastructure and road maintenance and were these extra payments necessary?
He asked for further clarification on the following:
Response: To request a follow up response at the next meeting. |
