GP Services in Southwark
Michelle Cleary, neighbourhood development manager of NHS Southwark clinical commissioning group (CCG), outlined briefly some changes to GP services in Southwark. Some residents had found difficulty in arranging appointments; and the services on offer confusing. The CCG had been working to simplify the services available. An extended primary care service meant that registered residents could now get appointments up until 8pm in the evening and over the weekends from two overflow clinics – Bermondsey Spa health centre and the Lister primary care centre.
Community Infrastructure Project List (CIPL)
Councillor Mark Williams explained the community infrastructure levy and how it was charged on developments in the borough. The project list would be an item at the next community council meeting in October 2015. Residents seeking to add projects to the CIPL should email the council at: jack.ricketts@southwark.gov.uk or contact their councillors.
Free Swim and Free Gym programme
Matt Goldsworthy, general manager at Camberwell Leisure Centre, explained that registration had opened for the Southwark free swim and gym sessions. Southwark residents aged 18 and under, plus over 60s could enjoy free swim and gym sessions in five of the borough’s leisure centres. Registration forms had been circulated and were available online and at leisure centres. Contact: www.southwark.gov.uk/getactive
