RESOLVED:
That the deputation request from local residents and businesses in the locality of Peckham Rye Station Peckham Vision and Rye Lane Traders Association be heard.
The chair explained that the spokesperson for the deputation would be given five minutes to speak followed by questions for five minutes.
Ruth Kelly, spokesperson for the deputation addressed the meeting and spoke about when she had moved to Peckham and what she felt about the area. That it had a unique eco system, with cultural industries and vibrancy that benefits the whole community.
The spokesperson highlighted the physical space plans revealed on the 18 January 2014 by Network Rail. The concerns expressed by residents were the size and scope of the scheme, which undermined the existing economy and the impact it would have on bus links. Also that the public were not consulted.
The speaker also referred to the Mayor of London regeneration fund which was meant to enhance not spoil an area, ensure the best results were achieved and rejuvenate the area.
The deputation representatives requested the council’s cooperation on this matter asking that a robust creative workshop be set up so that all interested parties were fully engaged in the Peckham Gateway development.
The chair thanked the representatives for their deputation.
In response to the deputation presentation, Councillor Fiona Colley, cabinet member for regeneration and corporate strategy agreed with the points that were outlined by the spokesperson for the deputation and confirmed that the public toilets should be included in Network Rail’s proposals.
Councillor Colley outlined that the height and density of the buildings should be revisited and that existing buildings should not all be demolished and rebuilt. Councillor Colley said she was disappointed with the lack of vision for this development and that Network Rail provided a generic answer that had no clarity or commitment.
In light of the above, the council would request that the GLA extend the timescales for the development and further meetings would be held with Network Rail and the council on the future progress of the site.
People were asked to email comments to Councillor Colley’s email address and to look out for any post updates on the internet forums.
The chair thanked Councillor Colley for the update. |

Southwark Youth Community Council - presentation
Minutes: Southwark Youth Council members gave a presentation on their recent trip to South Africa. It was noted that 14 young people and 4 youth workers took part in the trip.
The representatives said they held a number of fund raising events to raise funds for the trip. They talked about their experiences and what they learnt from their visit to South Africa.
They said it taught them to be independent and talked about the racial divide between communities. In some black communities there were low expectations of achievement. They compared life in South Africa and the UK and explained there was a strong community spirit in Cape Town and Western Cape.
They made comparison to Peckham and Nunhead and referred to the Peckham Peace wall. One representative highlighted that there were many opportunities in Southwark to develop and progress. In South Africa resources were not evenly distributed and people were unable to move out of deprived areas to better themselves.
They said they felt privileged to be part of Southwark because people generally get along but in parts of South Africa there was still some segregation. Although this was not reflective in other parts of the country.
After the presentation, a short film of their visit to South Africa was shown to the meeting where they visited well known places e.g. Robben Island. At this juncture they paid tribute to Nelson Mandela with a poem.
The youth council thanked the council for partly funding their trip and the youth service for their help with the fund raising events.
The chair thanked the youth council for their presentation and encouraged people to look at the young people’s exhibits during the break. |

Public question time
A public question form is included on page 10.
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: Q1 A local raised a question about a recent government consultation document which suggested capping leaseholder charges in London. Are there any plans to implement this in the borough?
A1 Councillor Livingstone responded: This issue had not been taken formally at cabinet because it was still being looked at by the council. The council wanted to ensure that the fees were affordable and at a reasonable rate. The council’s charges were quite high but there was a need to distinguish between those living in their property and those subletting their property. |
