Southwark Young Producers
This is a partnership project between the events team and the youth service. Nine young producers aged 15 – 22 had been recruited and were undergoing training on producing outdoor events. They were working on an event for Camberwell Green on 17 August 2013. Further information at www.southwark.gov.uk/eandn
Greendale update
Councillor Veronica Ward updated residents on Greendale. It is Metropolitan Open Land and so cannot be developed. It was currently leased by Dulwich Hamlet FC. There were some complexities connected with the lease but once those were resolved the plan was to consult the community on future plans for the space.
Camberwell Arts Festival
The festival started 19 years ago and was set up to take the art and artists out of their studios and galleries and into the community. The festival is a 9-day event in June that links in with the open day at the Camberwell College of Arts.

Southwark Town Hall, 39 Peckham Road
There were proposals for student accommodation along with an arts cafe, studios and gallery. Theatre Peckham at the rear of the site would have additional facilities including a refurbished theatre. A public consultation had taken place a few weeks ago. An application would be submitted in a couple of months.
Free Film Festival
Jonathan Coe explained that in the early 20th Century (1908 – 1912), Dog Kennel Hill was used for film making. There was an open film set on the land and several of the films still existed. Film historians were going through the archive and there was a plan to hold a film festival on the site during the summer. The group was also seeking funding for some equipment to be used at the festival.
